A photo in the National Library records that the staff of the Taylorville Cordial factory were Bill Stevens, Albert Stevens, Paul Peillon and Clem Peillon. Another photo sdhowed Clement and Agnes Boustridge on their wedding day. This is the only photo of a West Coast wedding in the 19th century in the National Library.
Ten years after his marriage, Clement set off in his big coach driven by four horses to deliver cordials to Ngahere, Blackball and Roa. On the way home, because it was raining Clement was covered up with his oilskin raincoat and horse covers. When he put his foot on the brake to turn a corner, his coat became tangled in the wheels and he was pulled under the coach. He died immediately.
He had been very involved with community affairs and was a member of the Brunner Brass Band. A special train brought mourners from Blackball to Greymouth and it was reported as Greymouth's largest ever funeral.
