    Notes:

    ** From Find A Grave **

    Railroad executive. He graduated from Trinity College in Connecticut in 1901 with a degree in civil engineering. He served in the Pennsylvania National Guard and began a career in railroads as a surveyor's rodman with the Pennsylvania Railroad. He rose through a series of engineering management positions, including surveying the Hudson River during construction of New York City's Penn Station. During World War I he served as Superintendent of Transportation for the U.S. Railroad Administration. Clement was head of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Lake Division in Cleveland and later became a Vice President of the parent company. In 1935 he became President, succeeding William W. Atterbury. Under Clement's leadership, the PRR grew into one of the nation's largest haulers of freight and passengers during the end of the Depression and into World War II, and converted to modern amenities including air-conditioned passenger cars and diesel engines. After retiring as President in 1948, he served as Chairman of the Board until 1951 and he continued as a Board member until 1957. Two days after his death the Pennsylvania Railroad commemorated his passing by having all trains came to a stop for one minute at 3 p.m. Eastern Time.
