Obit for Henry Clifford Carl

Henry Clifford Carl was born February 7, 1887 at Onage, Kansas. At the age 
of 6 years, his family moved to Carney, Oklahoma.  Then in 1908, they moved 
to western Oklahoma, northwest of Cheyenne.  Here Clifford married Miss Gertrude 
Miller from Burbank, Oklahoma.

To this union was born one daughter, Pauline, in 1916.

They farmed and ranched on the Washita River, northwest of Cheyenne until July 
of 1959, when they moved to Cheyenne where they were living at the time of his 
passing.

"Cliff" as he was known by his many friends, was very successful as a farmer 
and a rancher, but most of all, Cliff was known for his fiddling which pelased 
the ears of young and old at the many old-time gatherings.  The finer touch of 
the fiddle seemed to be his greatest inspiration.

Preceding Cliff in death was his mother and father, one sister, Hattie and four 
brothers, Harry, Odis, Roy and Edd. Left to mourn his death is his wife of the 
home, one brother, Allen of Beverly Hills, California, one daughter, Mrs. Woodrow 
Smith of portales, New Mexico, seven grandchildren, Gary Smith of Emmett, Idaho, 
Gailya Thomas of Wichita, Kansas, Monty Smith of Amarillo, Texas, and Jimmie, 
Paulette, Mike and Linda, all of Portales, New Mexico, nine great grandchildren, 
and a multitude of friends.

Mr. Carl passed away in the Cheyenne hospital, March 20, 1965.  Funeral services 
were conducted in the Cheyenne Methodist Church March 23, 1965.  Burial was in 
the Cheyenne cemetery, Cheyenne, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma.
