BIOGRAPHY OF THE CLIFTONS

The Clifton name is prominent in Hopkins County. Frank and John Clifton are
pioneer citizens of Hopkins County. Uncle Frank is a primitive Baptist
preacher, and is as straight and honest a man as the God of heaven desires man
to be; his word is his bond, it is law and the people of the county understand
it just that way. A pure, noble-hearted, God-serving gentleman, possessed of
as few faults as any living man. John Clifton lives near Miller Grove and is a
splendid citizen of Hopkins County. He has lived an upright, just and honest
life, and has ever been loved and respected for his manly qualities, and
generous disposition, and unusual hospitality extended to friends at his home.
He is in feeble health now, is old and is living a very retired life.
