Clement, Jesse. (Dracut, Massachusetts, June 12, 1815--December 25, 1883, Butler, Missouri). Baptist. Common school education only in the Academy in New Hampton, New Hampshire. Editor, Western Literary Messenger, Buffalo, New York, 1842-1856; editor, Daily Times, Dubuque, Iowa, 1856-1868; connected with Inter-Ocean, Chicago, 1868-1883. Author of Noble Deeds of American Women, 1851, Life of Adoniram Judson, 1851, which went through several editions; edited several volumes of the United States Biographical Dictionary. His hymns and poems were much in demand in his lifetime in Sunday School, church, YMCA, and secular organizations. A Trinitarian hymn, "Thou whose dwelling place so lofty," written for the dedication of the University Place Baptist Church, Chicago, appeals to each person of the Trinity to draw near on the basis of the biblical work of that member. In Songs of Delight, 1875, he had seven hymns.
