Obituary for Charles Chandler Clover: Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Mississippi), August 6 and August 7, 2001:          C. Chandler Clover, 80, of Jackson, a pioneer in the development of healthcare facilities in Mississippi for more than 40 years, died Sunday, August 5 of complications of Alzheimer¹s Disease.  He directed the establishment of three major private hospitals... Doctor¹s (1965), Riverside (1972) and Woman¹s (1974). He was executive director and chief executive officer of each. Woman¹s Hospital, (now operated by Health Management Associates, Inc. as  Woman¹s Hospital at River Oaks), was the first non-teaching hospital in the state to establish a newborn intensive care unit for critically ill newborns. Riverside Hospital (now operated by Brentwood) was the first private psychiatric hospital in Mississippi. Doctor¹s Hospital, originally a general medical/surgical facility, is now part of the St. Dominic Health Services complex.
        Clover was corporate vice president of St. Dominic Health Services.....and was tapped by then-Mayor Kane Ditto to be the first executive director of Health Futures Forum, an organization of business, professional and healthcare leaders to promote the economic development role of the healthcare industry in the metropolitan area. He entered the healthcare profession on the administrative staff of Mississippi Baptist Hospital (now Baptist Medical Center) in 1955. Clover was a founder and member of the board of directors of Mediplex, Inc., which, at the time of its sale to Beverly Enterprises in 1981, was the sixth largest multi-facility nursing home corporation in America. Clover was a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives and a past president of the Mississippi Affiliates of ACHE. He was chairman of the Board of Governors of the Mississippi Hospital Association and Speaker of the House of Delegates of that association. He was a member of the MHA Quarter Century Executive Forum. Clover served as chairman of the Deacons of First Baptist Church in Jackson, where he was a Life Deacon. He also successfully chaired the $22 million campaign for building the current church sanctuary and educational facilities. Clover was president of the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra Association and the Mississippi Opera. He was a commissioner of the Mississippi Arts Commission. Goodwill Industries named him one of the distinguished volunteers in the metropolitan area in 1987. He was the founding president of the Family Blood Assurance Program, which merged into Mississippi Blood Services, and was a driving force for hospice care in Mississippi with Hospice Ministries. He served education as a member of the Millsaps College Development Foundation and the Millsaps College Advisory Board for The Else School of Management.
        He was a Trustee of Mississippi College. Clover and his family established an endowment for the Communications Department at Louisiana College in honor of Dr. E.O. Wood. He was named a Distinguished Alumnus of Louisiana College and served as chairman of the Baptist college¹s development committee. Clover was also a founder of Jackson Preparatory School and an active supporter of St. Andrew¹s Episcopal School. He held leadership roles in the Metro Jackson Chamber of Commerce, Mississippi Economic Council, United Way, Mississippi Kidney Foundation and Boy Scouts of America/Andrew Jackson Council. He held memberships in The Newcomer Society of North America, the 100 Club, Central Lions Club, River Hills Club and the University Club. A Louisiana native and a graduate of Louisiana College in Pineville, La., he did additional study at the University of Chicago and the University of Mississippi (Jackson). Clover was a member of the Fifth Air Corps and served as an aircraft commander/B-24 pilot in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Survivors include: wife, Lois; daughters, Chandler (Mrs. Raymond Thompson, Jr.), of Nashville, Tenn. and Jane (Mrs. Brent Alexander), of Jackson; brother, Carl Estes Clover of Dickinson, Texas; three nephews, four grand-nephews and a grandniece. ...interment was at Lakewood Memorial Park mausoleum.....  
    This obituary was sent by his daughter, Jane Clover Alexander, along with the following information about his family.
    Arthur Colfax Clover was born 3 March 3 1882, Yates Center, Woodson County, Kansas, died about 1951, married 1 December 1909, Minnie Bell Baker, born 12 April 1882, died 1967.    Arthur had moved to Lousiana in 1906.

The following article was forwarded to me by Ray Thompson of Bossier City, Louisiana from The History of Jefferson Davis and Lawrence Counties, Mississippi. This is a collection of articles collected by the WPA Writer’s Project of Lawrence County, Mississippi, 1933, p 133-4. 
        Carpetbaggers and Scalawags: There were only two carpetbaggers in Lawrence County during the Reconstruction Period, Frank A. Clover, who was thought to be from Chicago or St. Louis, and John D. Moore of Rhode Island.  Clover is described as a tall, thin, dark man, fine looking, well educated and competent.  He was a carpetbagger who sought his own gain and was thoroughly vicious.  He first made his appearance in this county at Brookhaven, but was sent to the interior of the county to organize more thoroughly the Republican party among the Negroes, and is said to have been popular with the Negroes and swayed them the way he wished.  He taught them to be disrespectful to white people and would curse them for tipping their hats - a courtesy they were taught in slavery time.  Clover was appointed circuit and chancery clerk in 1870-71 but left the county after that time and went to Lincoln County, which had recently been created.  No outright act of robbery was committed by Clover, but he had to his credit a multitude of cowardly, vicious acts for which he could not be punished; and, in fact, went as far with his carpetbag tricks as an outraged citizenry would tolerate during that period.

    When you read the article about him, remember that this is the reminiscence which is colored by the writer's prejudices. To today’s eye, some of the accusations look more like accolades.
    According to the 1890 Special Veteran’s Census, Frank served in the Missouri Infantry in the Civil War. However, The Roster of Union Soldiers, 1861-1865, does not list him as having served in Illinois or Missouri units. Since he says that he was born in New Orleans, I also checked for service in the Confederate Army.  I also checked censuses in Missouri and Illinois for a Frank A Clover in 1850 or 1860.  He does not appear on any of these censuses nor does he appear in a Louisiana census in 1850 or 1860.  It is possible he is in one of these places, but unindexed.
       Since I originaly published this article, Rhonda Clover sent me this.

This G. F. Clover/Clower served in the Confederate Army in Wood's Regiment of Conferate Calvary.  However, the note at the bottom of the page suggests he may be a Clower.
