Description
Portrait photograph of Sadie (Reid) Clements who is remembered for having operated a beauty shop in Woodstock for many years.
Sadie was born and grew up in Rockbridge County, Virginia. She was the fifth child (of at least ten) of Charles Morgan Reid, a farmer and cabinet maker, and Nannie Frances (Hostetter) Reid.
As a girl, Sadie and her family lived in the small community of Buffalo for many years.
She married Houston W. Clements, in 1916, in Lexington. He was originally from Collierstown, Rockbridge County, and the son of Houston and Mary M. (Entsminger) Clements. His father was from Glen Wilton and his mother was from Clifton Forge, Virginia.
Early in their marriage, the couple moved to the Newport area of eastern Virginia where, in 1920, Houston worked as a machinist in a shipyard while Sadie looked after their young son, Charles Houston Clements (1917-1983). Sadie’s younger brother, Johnnie Reid, also lived with them. He was a painter in the ship yard.
Both the 1930 and 1940 censuses listed the family as living on Court Street in Woodstock. “Hugh” was a barber with his own shop. By 1940, Sadie was a beautician with her own shop.
After her husband died, Sadie continued to work as a hairdresser in Woodstock for many years.
Her last years were spent in Salem, Virginia, where she died.
