3474Obituary for Chester E. Clement
  • Publication, Clipping
  • People
  • The Bar Harbor Times
  • 1937-03-12
Southwest Hbr. Boat Builder Died Saturday Chester E. Clement of Southwest Harbor, aged about sixty, died at the Mount Desert hospital at Bar Harbor late Saturday afternoon from the effects of an automobile accident which occurred soon after five o'clock Thursday. Mr. Clement started to overtake the mail with an important message, driving a light small truck when he had been accustomed to a heavy car. At a rough place in the road near Echo Lake the car left the road, turned over several times and struck one of the great boulders among the trees. Fortunately, the lights did not go out and the motor was running. Two young men, passing not long after the accident, saw the lights, investigated and found Mr. Clement lying on the ground with badly torn clothing and unconscious. His face was so covered with blood that they did not recognize him, but one remained with him while the other went to call Dr. George A. Neal from Southwest Harbor and also aid from a garage. He was taken to the hospital where it was found that he had ten broken ribs and numerous cuts and bruises besides head injuries. He seemed better Saturday but died suddenly from internal injuries. Mr. Clement's skill as a boat builder and machinist was widely known and he had built many fine craft in his shop here where he employed eight or ten men. Two boats are at present in the shop; one nearly completed and the other not far along.
