This view of the historic Adair County Courthouse clock tower is from the window in the Field House where John Marshall Clemens, local attorney, practiced. Clemens lived in one room and sometimes saw clients in an adjoining front room. He married Jane Lampton, of Columbia, and they lived in the rented rooms for some time, perhaps as much as a year. The Clemenses became the parents of a family of children that included Samuel Langhorne, best known to many as 'Mark Twain.' Comments | Permalink
