Clement McDaniel, known to many as "Mac", was born in Bayou, Texas on November 3, 1913, the son of Nolan Earnest McDaniel and wife Ella Walker McDaniel. In 1933, he married Ardell Brittain, the daughter of Docia Latham Brittain Easley and Penn Brittain. They were married 73 years and had a strong, lifelong love affair, from which came five children. His beloved wife preceded him, as did two daughters, Ether Murl (Merrill) Perry and Joyce McDaniel. Surviving children and spouses are: Barbara and Wilbur Smith of Gainesville, Texas, Carlin and Mary Ann McDaniel of Hemphill, Texas, and Glen and Dee McDaniel of Lufkin, Texas. He is also survived by grandchildren Kristie Vick, John McDaniel, Casey Weghorst, Brett McDaniel, and Kyle McDaniel; and four great-grandchildren, Colter and Sarah Vick and Tatum and Hank Weghorst. Mr. "Mac" was proud of his family, which he considered the most important thing in his life. His Christian faith and affiliation with the Baptist Church since 1946 were also important to him, guiding him through many trials and tribulations in life. When he was 15, "Mac" left his cocoon in East Texas and joined the Citizens' Military Training Camp, where he served for four summers, earning an officer's commission in the United States Army. He went on to become what would now be called a disc jockey at Radio Station KRIC in Beaumont. In 1941, he began his career as an air traffic controller. He was very proud of his work and remembered well the many times he helped the famous and not so famous, one of the famous being then Vice-President Lyndon Johnson, as he would fly into and out of the Austin airport. Mr. McDaniel was an avid and expert gardener, and many people were the recipients of his garden produce. He loved people, and spent a lifetime giving to others. He will be sorely missed by many.

  	The Sabine County Reporter 14 August 2002 THE McDANIEL FIVE (Photo submitted) How unique is it to see siblings, five of them, all in their 80s and all still living and doing well except for the things that getting older brings to all of us? I would say it is very seldom heard of and when we do hear and see it, we need to pause and celebrate! Above are all five children of Nolan Ernest, sr. (Mac) and Ella Lee McDaniel. Seated, from left: Wendell, 89, (who will be 90 Sept. 20) of Yellowpine, Clement, 88 of Hemphill and Ernest, 85, of Yellowpine; standing: Evelyn (Easley), 80, of San Juan Capistrano, CA, and Zuda (Tinsley), 82, or Hemphill. They were all born in Sabine County and raised in the old community of Mason Town, now known as Six Mile. They were raised when times were hard ans each had to pull their own weight, when walking was something they had to do to get where they wanted to go and not for exercise. Going barefooted was something they did, not for fun, but out of necessity. Getting to school was a chore. During grade school years they walked three miles to attend school in Six Mile and as high school years approached, some stayed with friends in Hemphill and Yellowpine so they could attend school. Even with all the marks set against them, the five grew up to be fine upstanding citizens of the communities they chose as grown men and women to start and raise their families. So much could be said about each of these five people (I am the niece of Wendell, but claim them all as my aunts and uncles) and wish for each, all the blessings that only God can bestow on them in the years he chooses to give them.
