Death Sep 9, 1898 Santiago, Cuba, of thypoid fever
Obituary Apr 8, 1899 Norwich, NY, USA, Norwich, April 7.-Two Norwich boys contributed their lives to the cause of the freedom of Cuba. Both died at Santiago and their bodies were brought north in the transport which reached New York City last week. Ernest H. Clemens died July 16, 1898, and Clifford J. Houghton in the early days of September. The remains of both arrived in Norwich by express last Saturday and were taken in charge by the undertakers. Each was enclosed in a handsomely finished and hermetically sealed metallic case with oak exterior. The one containing the remains of Clemens was borne to Burr & Lawrence's undertaking rooms and the Houghton casket to the rooms of William Breese. Each casket was enclosed in a strong, well-made pine box, inside of which was the board that had marked the grave at Santiago. The board that had marked the grave of Clemens was 9x30 inches and had been artistically lettered by his tentmate, Harry R. Pautley, of Newburg, N.Y. It was inscribed: " Ernest H. Clemens, Musician, Troop C, 6th Cavalry. Died July 16, 1898." The board was weather-beaten but the inscription could be easily read. It has since been presented to E.B. Smith Post, G.A.R. Houghton was a member of Company F.Ninth Regiment. The entire expenses of the caskets and transportation from Santiago to Norwich was borne by the government.

On Monday afternoon there was a dual funeral, the remains being laid at rest at Mount Hope Cemetery with full honors, the services being in charge of Smith Post G.A.R. The day was observed as a half holiday, the stores and factories generally being closed and flags displayed half mast. At 2 o'clock the funeral cortege started, led by carriages containing the clergy, followed by the two hearses, side by side, carrying the caskets, draped with the national colors and almost buried in flowers; the relatives of the deceased and citizens in carriages and twin processions on the sidewalks made up of members of the G.A.R., The Congregational Sunday School, the Fire Department and citizens. On arriving at the bridge on South Broad street the carriages paused while the pedestrians passed on and preceded them into the cemetery in the following order:
George W. Brooks, Marshal.
Red Men's Enterprise Band.
G.A.R. Firing Squad, Comrade George Wood, Commander.
Members of G.A.R.
The Sunday School of the Congregational Church.
Alert Hose Company, No. 1.
George Rider Hook and Ladder Company.
Maydole Hose Company, No. 2.
Ontario Hose Company, No. 3.
Employes of the Silk Mill.
Citizens, ect.
Carriages.

The ceremonies at the cemetery were witnessed by several thousand people, gathered at a plot midway between the two graves, which were some distance apart. The plot had been prepared for the service by spreading matting over a large, square space, in the middle of which the caskets were placed side by side, and surrounded by the relatives and friends. The impressive G.A.R. ritual was rendered by Commander George W. Payne -------Lieut. Lucius Crumb and Sergt Jerome Sherwood, after which the bodies were borne to their last resting places. A brief prayer was offered at the grave of Clemens by Rev. E.J. Klock, and at the grave of Houghton By Rev. C.B. Parsons, of Oxford, after which the firing squad from their position half way between the two burial places fired three rounds from their muskets and the muffled drum sounded the long roll. The caskets were completely hidden from view by flags and flowers.

In Clemens grave were deposited many miniature flags from the children of the Congregational Sunday school, of which he had been a member. Six soldiers of the late war assisted as bearers. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, among them being a harp from the employees of the Norwich Pharmacal Company, a wreath from employees of the Chenango Dyeing Company, a pair of palms and a bouquet of roses and carnations from employees of the Norwich Silk Manufacturing Company. The whole ceremony throughout was beautiful, appropriate and impressive. [The Saturday Globe, April 8, 1899]
