- He is buried Springfield.
- According to the research by Abraham Lapp Clemmer (1894-1971,) Valentine Clymer/Clemmer came to PA in 1717 accompanied by his grandson, Valentine Hunsicker. J. C. Wenger in his "History of the Franconia Mennonites" said Valentine ("Velty") Clemmer was a Bishop of the Mennonite Church when he arrived (he called him a "Confirmed Minister" and said a "confirmed" minister means a Bishop.) Bishop Valentine was one of the signers of the Dortrecht Confession of Faith in 1725 as the representative from Great Swamp. Legend says that Bishop Valentine Clemmer went to a conference in Lancaster, PA and died there unexpectedly. It is thought that he may be buried in Mellengers cemetery there. Searches have been made, however, and no proof of this could be found. There is remarkably little known of this apparently important man. Nothing is known about his family except that he brought his grandson, Valentine Hunsicker, with him from Europe. Valentine Hunsicker was born in Zurich in 1700 and was seventeen years old when he came to PA in 1717. (End of quote.)
