Nick Clemmons

Fayetteville resident Nick Clemmons, circa 1910. We find Clemmons on the 1880 census, a 40-year-old widower living in Fayetteville with nine children and grandchildren. His occupation is listed as “laborer.”
 
Perhaps Nick Clemmons’ wife was Millie Clemmons, a Fayetteville woman listed on the 1880 mortality scheduled as having died of cholera in 1879.
 
The 1900 census shows Clemmons living in Fayetteville with his daughter Rindy and her family.
 
The last time we find Nick Clemmons on the census is in 1910. He is living alone at 235 E. Huntsville Road in Fayetteville, near the present-day intersection of Huntsville Road and Combs Avenue.
