Cliff was born on January 7, 1873.  He grew up in Amory but he married a girl, Fannie R. Davis, from Lee County.  She was born on December 7, 1872.  They lived in Nettleton for the rest of their lives.

Cliff was a bank teller for a while in Nettleton, but then he became a Frisco Railroad Agent and worked at that for many years.  They had three sons together, and the census found the family here in 1920:
