Hi Wayne,
How nice of you to do this for them! There are
roughly 150 Clough/Cluff/Clow researchers here
at the moment. Hopefully one will have an interest
in, and more data on, Eugene Elmer for you. But
I'm including a little from the JCGS book, below.
Also, Gail Buckler has it on-line at:

And the genealogies can also be purchased by
contacting:

Right. On p 457 of Vol. 1 of the JCGS book, it says:

1879 -MOSES (Benoni, Bailey, William, Isaac, Thomas, John)
He married Mary Dodge.

CHILDREN OF MOSES AND MARY (DODGE) CLOUGH
2685 Willis Benonib. May 10, 1875
2686 Jennie M. b. Feb. 23, 1877
2687 Nellie A.b. Nov. 23, 1879
2688 Eugeneb. May 4, 1881. Several children.
2689 Ida Mayb. Sept. 27, 1885. M. Jack McCabe.
2690 George Edwardb. Oct. 6, 1889. Unmarried.
2691 John Davidb. June 27, 1892, a son, Richard.

But I can't seem to find more on Eugene in Vol. II,
with a quick look. Hopefully someone else on list
will look and find more for you.

I'm sure we'd all appreciate having it. Thank you
for being willing to share!
