Charles P. Clemens

Charles P. Clemens (1842 – November 29, 1895) was a soldier, reverend, and state legislator in Mississippi. He represented Clarke County, Mississippi in the Mississippi House of Representatives in 1874 and 1875.

In 1873, the Weekly Clarion reported on his candidacy describing him as a colored "carpetbagger" and accused him of abandoning his wife and four children when he moved to Mississippi to seek office. However, on his army discharge papers he was listed as widowed and his next of kin was listed as a daughter named Nora Brown.

During his time in the house he was a member of several committees including Public Education, Federal Relations, Railroads, and Public Works.

He was buried at the Forest Hill cemetery in Piqua, Ohio.
