Clifford, died Tuesday, October 22, at the base hospital, Fort Riley, Kansas, from pneumonia which resulted from measles. He was taken sick at Camp Funston, Kansas, about three weeks ago and was soon removed to the military hospital at Ft. Riley. The deceased's wife and parents went to his bedside immediately upon receiving word that he was sick. Mr. Clifford returning last Saturday, the wife and mother remaining. Mr. Clifford was starting on his return from Ft. Riley Wednesday morning when he received a message of his son's death. Clarence was a fine young man and a successful farmer, having the promise, until recently, of a long and useful life. He was entitled to exemption but refused to claim it, and so left his crops in the field to serve his country. He made the supreme sacrifice in this service as truly as though he fell in battle at the front. His is the first death in this locality from the ranks. With the passing of this excellent young man, and the wounds from gas of two others from the locality, Coon Rapids is beginning to experience the dreadfulness of the war. The relatives of the deceased have the sympathy of everyone in their great sorrow. Clarence Dorsie [Dorsey] Clifford, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Clifford, was born in Carroll county, Iowa, November 11, 1895, and departed this life, October 22, 1918, at the base hospital, Ft. Riley, Kansas. He was married to Miss Elzorn Stetzle [Elzora Stetzel], daughter of Daniel Stetzle [Stetzel], of Audubon county, December 12, 1917. He was called to the colors August 25th, 1918, and stationed at Camp Funston, Kansas, and remained there until October 5, when, because of his sickness, he was removed to Ft. Riley. Besides his parents and beloved wife, he leaves to mourn his death three sisters—Mrs. Alta Haggard, and Mrs. Lenora Textor of Coon Rapids and Mrs. Flora Barrett of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and three brothers—Elmer Clifford of Milford, Hermes Clifford of Camp Dodge and Joseph Clifford of Coon Rapids. It is not known as we go to press when the funeral will be held but probably this afternoon from the Clifford residence.
