In _116 Short Biographies of Persons Associated with Mark Twain_
(Kirksville: Missouriana Library, Northeast Missouri State College,
cop. 1970), P. O Selby wrote that ``Mary Murial Clemens'' was the
daughter of James Ross and Katherine T. Clemens, and the sister of Cyril
Clemens.

In _Mark Twain's Kinfolks_ (1973), however, Selby reported that James
and Katherine Clemens's daughter was Muriel Agnes Clemens, who married John
Carl Gotwals; the Gotwalses' daughter was Mary Muriel Gotwals. No Mildred
Clemens is listed in _Kinfolks_, as far as I have been able to determine.

Is the book you refer to, "One hundred and Sixteen Short Biographies of
Persons Related to Mark Twain," possibly a different edition or version of
the one we have, ". . . Persons Associated with . . ."?

I have never figured out who Mildred Clemens is or was, although the Mark
Twain Papers has one or two books that once belonged to her.
