He married on October 29, 1890, at Beaman, Iowa, to Florence A. Coulter, sixth of seven daughters of Samuel Coulter & Maria Bash. They had two daughters: Alta Lorean and Madaline Olive. Cliff was Conrad's town marshall. He also had an ice house at Conrad, from which he sold blocks of ice he had cut in the winter from frozen Wolf Creek. He was a partner in the butcher firm of Fetters & Landphere at Conrad. While he was preparing a steer for slaughter, it kicked him in the head, resulting in severe headaches which wouldn't stop. On December 17, 1908, he went home for lunch, and told his wife he was going upstairs to lie down until the meal was ready. Shortly thereafter, Florence heard a gunshot. She ran upstairs to find her husband had fatally shot himself in the head with his marshall's revolver. He died in her arms. Cliff was 38 years old. Unable to maintain the Fetters home by herself, Florence and her younger daughter Madaline, 9, moved in with Florence's parents, Samuel & Maria Coulter on Washington Street in Conrad. The elder daughter Alta had recently married on October 29, 1908, to Charles Percy Lister. The Fetters gravestone is one of the biggest, most impressive monuments in Conrad Cemetery. In the same plot rests their eldest daughter Alta and her husband Charles, and Alta & Charlie's unnamed second son, stillborn February 5, 1912.
