Papers and photographs, 1904-1987.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84652765

Papers and photographs of Paul B. Clemens, an officer in the Wisconsin National Guard whose forty-five years of service spanned both World Wars. The collection provides a look at his military life as well as his civilian life. Military papers include individual letters from Theodore Roosevelt and John Pershing, as well as more extensive correspondence from William Haan, and Charles King. The latter two wrote about the history of the 32nd "Red Arrow" Division in World War I and the operations and administration of the Wisconsin National Guard respectively. Service records, certificates, and other military records document his time in the National Guard. Scores of letters congratulating Clemens on his retirement as assistant superintendent of Milwaukee schools show the regard in which he was held by personal and professional associates. Other materials include plans and programs for the opening of the Burns-Clemens Building at the Wisconsin Veterans Home in King, documents pertaining to Clemens' service in local civic organizations, and newspaper clippings about his son, Paul L. Clemens, and his paintings. Photographs include a signed portrait of William Haan and many photos of Clemens through the years.
