He does not appear to be in anyone's tree on here - was Marie also born in France as cannot see her either?

He is in at least one tree on Ancestry - Mary/Marie died in Michigan?

Elizabeth asked for information about Louis Clavel, surely?

Elizabeth,
If he lived, married and died in France, have you looked to see if there are any French based genealogical sites that could help you?

Have you looked on IGI for information about him?

Have you any idea which part of France Louis was from - the tree claims Hippolyte was born in La Grivellière, Drôme, Rhône-Alpes in 1868.
