In 1858 they moved to Plover, where he engaged in the contracting business. Clinton returned to Ohio, through which the family had passed on their way west, to enlist in the Union Army after the start of the Civil War. Two of his brothers--Loren and Pardon--also enlisted, Pardon in the same regiment as Clinton, and Loren in a regiment from Wisconsin.
