The funeral, which was held from the family residence at Spencer Brook, Sunday afternoon, was largely attended notwithstanding the fearful condition of the roads. The services at the residence were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Service of the Princeton M. E. church, and a large delegation of Odd Fellows from the Princeton lodge, of which the deceased was an honored member, was present and participated in the solemn exercises. The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful. The interment was in the Nicholas cemetery.
Albert Eugene Clough was a full brother of ex-Governor Clough, now of Everett, Wash., and was born at Lyme, N. H., July 25, 1850. He came to Minnesota with the family in 1859. In 1875 Mr. Clough went to the Pacific coast and was married to Miss Ida Harris at Palouse, Wash., in 1881. He returned to Spencer Brook in 1885 and resided on the old C lough homestead until his recent illness. He is survived by a son and daughter, Lawrence Clough and Mrs. Wm. Swanbro his wife preceded him to the other shore a few years ago.
Gene Clough, as he was familiarly known to all his friends and acquaintances, was a plain, unassuming man who attended strictly to his own affairs he was a kind and accommodating neighbor, and had the respect and esteem of all who knew him, and he had not an enemy in the world. What higher tribute could be paid his memory?
