Background

Scope and content:

This collection relates to Edgar Dean Clemmons who served in the United States Navy during World War II in the Pacific Campaign on Guam as a Second Class Machinist's Mate working with oxygen generation and compressed gas equipment. The collection includes military documents.

Biographical / historical:

Edgar Dean Clemmons was born in Tippecanoe City, OH (now known as Tipp City, OH) on November 27, 1916 in a house at the corner of Main street and First Street (the house was torn down long ago). Ed was the oldest child of Elmo R. Clemmons and Josie L. Helmer Clemmons, and would be followed by a sister, Virginia. Virginia was called "Ginny," and she passed away at the age of 14 from a ruptured appendix. From that point on, Ed was an only child. Josie had trouble recovering from Ginny's early death, but Ed and his mother were very close.
