obtained from the
Toledo Library.
"Wasn't it Jonathan Clement who painted the beautiful tiles of the church?
The J. Clement who created the tiles was local and I believe,
a member of St. Paul’s. I have a tile he created that is a view
of Maumee (River)."

"I remember the Palmers (Palmer Clement's)... they were lovely people. . .
and fun! That's (The tile of St. Paul's is) very likely his handiwork.."
