GEORGE FRANCIS CLEMENT, C.L.U.—Formerly a railroad accountant, George Francis Clement—better known to thousands as Frank Clement—is now one of the outstanding insurance men of Shenandoah Valley. With headquarters at Roanoke, he is manager of the home office agency of the Shenandoah Life Insurance Company. He is in charge of thirty-five underwriters in forty of Virginia’s counties. A man who is interested in public welfare, especially of World War II veterans, he has been active in work on their behalf.
Mr. Clement was born in Roanoke on August 22, 1907, the son of George A. Clement, a salesman at Radford, and Sarah (Pollard) Clement. He was educated in Radford’s elementary and high schools, graduating from the latter in 1925, and in various other institutions. He has taken correspondence courses in life insurance and in 1946 was awarded the degree of Chartered Life Underwriter (C.L.U.) by the American College of Life Underwriters.
In 1925 Mr. Clement returned to Roanoke to enter the employ of the Norfolk and Western Railway Company’s accounting division, where he remained until 1930. It was in this year that he moved into his present field of interest, insurance. At that time he became an employee of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company in Roanoke. In 1932 he was made an agent, in 1933 a supervisor and in 1934 a district manager. Then, from 1938 to January 1, 1949, he was branch manager. Since 1949 he has been manager of the home office agency of the Shenandoah Life Insurance Company in Roanoke.
Mr. Clement has given outstanding service to his native city. He is not only a past president of the Roanoke Life Underwriters Association, but from 1943 to 1946 served with the Roanoke local draft board as Re-employment Committeeman, and in 1945-47 was chairman of the Veterans Emergency Housing Committee of Roanoke City. He is first vice-president of the Lions Club of Roanoke and a former president of the Roanoke Executives Club. Also, he is a member of the Roanoke Country Club, the Roanoke Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and of such Masonic bodies as the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite and Kazim Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in Roanoke.
He married Geraldine Beazley, daughter of R. S. and Sally (Paschall) Beazley, at Petersburg on July 21, 1934. Their children are Donald Francis, born January 19, 1938, and Sarah Barton Clement, born February 20, 1940. The family worships at the Virginia Heights Baptist Church, Roanoke.
