Glenview Cemetery is located just north of the town of Clements in northeastern San Joaquin County. The land for the cemetery was donated by Thomas Clements, founder of the town which bears his name (1890). Some graves predating the founding of the cemetery were moved from the older Macville Cemetery across the Mokelumne River from Clements. Buried in Glenview are Thomas Clements and members of his family, as well as members of other pioneer farming families, including the Athearns and the Wardrobes.
