What a strong young man Stanford was! Imagine shoveling 24 loads of gravel, and then playing tennis, and then having enough energy left to call on people!
Wilson and Francis Clough were brothers, sons of a Reverend Clinton W. Clough of Glenville. Wilson was born 1896 and in 1915 he was a student at Union, living on campus, according to the 1915 New York census. He later became a Professor of English at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. His brother Francis, born in 1898, became a newspaper columnist and radio commentator, living in Newburgh, NY. Below is a picture and article taken from a local newspaper from September 1942, when they were visiting their parents in Glenville:
Interestingly, in some of the census records, the Clough's name is spelled Clowe, so perhaps they are related to Stanford through Fanny.
