"Have You Met.....Frank V. Clements by Jim Fielding
Frank V. Clements, like his father, his grandfather, and his
great grandfather, is a blacksmith. He says a blacksmith's business,
with its electric and acetylene welding and its machine work,
isn't what it used to be when he went into his father's shop in
Thomasboro 45 years ago. 'I haven't shod a horse in 20 years,
or about as long as I have been in Urbana.' Frank's specialty
is plow work, about the only remaing art of the old trade. He
explains that his work is interesting because some one is always
thinking up new things for the smithy to do. Frank's shop is
at 804 West Cl(cut off) street, Urbana. He is married and has
two daughters and two sons. The youngest son, Virgil, promises
to be the fifth in the line of Clements blacksmiths."
