Hi! I am a Berkley Springs Va./W.Va Clover descendant living in Lapeer, Michigan area. I have found a few things on the Lapeer Clover line at the Lapeer Gen. Society. From the Lapeer County Press Wednesday, December 14, 1927: Death of Frank S. Clover
Frank Spencer Clover, aged 79 years, died Monday morning, December 12, at his home, 149 Monroe Street, after an illness of several months. Mr Clover was very well known in this community where he had made his home for many years, and where he had a wide circle of friends. For 25 years he was head carpenter at the Michigan Home and for an equal number of years a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Born December 30, 1848, in the township of Lenox, Madison county, NY, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Clover. In 1850, when he was two years old, he came to Michigan with his parents. They settled on a farm two miles west of this city in Elba Twp. Frank lived at home with them until 1874 when he married Miss Nancy Pike of Lapeer and moved onto a farm one mile south of the old homestead of his father, and still owns this place which is now occupied by his son, Irving. This son, William Irving, was born August 25, 1888. On Christmas Day, 1925, Mr. and Mrs. Clover celebrated the !
50th anniversary of their wedding with elaborate festivities at their Monroe Street home. At this time a company of 200 friends and relatives were present to witness the renewed plighting of their marriage vows. Mr. Clover is survived by his wife; son Irving; two grandchildren Frank Leon and Nancy Jane Clover; three sisters, Mrs. Eunice Merritt and Mrs. Etta Colvin of Luzerne and Mrs. Tom Harmon of Elba, and a brother, Charles Clover of Luzerne. Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the house, Rev. A.B. Sutcliffe will preach the sermon and Rev. Karr offer the prayer. Internment will be in Mt. Hope cemetery. The services will be conducted under the auspices of the Odd Fellow lodge of which Mr. Clover was a member for 27 years.
