J. M. Clifford, railroad builder and Milwaukee Road official, died shortly before 10 o'clock today in a hospital here after fighting a number of days against arterial sclerosis. Complications set in and caused the demise. Mr. Clifford was 55 years old.

Beginning railroad work as a boy of fourteen years, Mr. Clifford performed duties of brakeman, agent, auditor, dispatcher and superintendent. He climbed in the ranks by hard work and was recognized as one of the best operating men in the middle west. His capacity for work seemed to have no limit and it is the conviction of his family and men who worked with him that his death was hastened by long hours of labor. It was his practice to arise early every morning and work through the day. He was often at his desk until late into the night. He was a popular official and held the respect of men working under his direction.

Mr. Clifford was born on a farm in the town of Scott, Sheboygan county, on Sept. 21, 1862. In 1876, when he was fourteen years of age, he went to work at Random Lake for the Milwaukee and Northern road, which later became the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road. He held the position of agent at every station between Cedarburg and Iron Mountain on the Milwaukee road. At more than one point his depot and office was a box car. His duties required him to perform all kinds of service in those pioneer days of railroading. While working in 1880 in Ledgeville, a station near Greenleaf, his pay was so small that he asked for a vacation to earn enough money to buy a suit of clothes. The superior officer saw to it that his pay was raised and that he was granted a vacation. For a time after starting at Random Lake, Mr. Clifford went west, then he returned and served as agent at Hayton, Ledgeville, Hilbert, Chilton, Ellis Junction and other points. When the road built from Ellis to Iron Mountain, Mr. Clifford was in charge of the construction. In 1883 he was appointed traveling auditor for the Milwaukee line, then he worked as brakeman for the Wisconsin Central for a short time.

Operation of trains was part of his work when the Milwaukee road was being built. In 1886 he became agent in Iron Mountain and was in charge of the terminal there. He remained there in charge of the ore business for a number of years. In 1901 he was appointed superintendent of the ore docks at Escanaba. The Milwaukee road built its own docks in Escanaba, ran tracks into Escanaba and placed Mr. Clifford in complete charge there. He was promoted to the office of superintendent of the Superior division of the road with headquarters at Green Bay, in October, 1913. At that time he retained control of the entire business of the Marquette and Menominee iron range.

Mr. Clifford is survived by a widow, two sons, Dr. Paul M. Clifford of Detroit, Gerald F. Clifford, lawyer, of Green Bay; a daughter, Genevieve Clifford, of Green Bay; one brother, Daniel, of Escanaba, and two sisters, Mrs. Fred Bowser, of Sheboygan, and Mrs. Alice Foley of Fond du Lac.

The funeral of the late J.M. Clifford, brother of Mrs. Alice Foley of this city, whose death occurred at Green Bay Thursday, will be held Saturday at Green Bay.

Thursday's issue of the Green Bay Press Gazette contained the following concerning Mr. Clifford's death:

Calm and peaceable in his coffin
Lies our Edward now at rest
To rise upon some fairer shore
Hands clasped meekly o'er his breast.
Now for him all cures are ended;
Pains and sufferings all are o'er;
But his spirit being immortal,
Lives on yonder shining shore.
Once he was a joyous youth
Happy hearted, blithe and gay,
Ere that dread disease pneumonia
Ebbed the tide of life away.
But for him death had no terror
And the grave had lost its gloom,
For he knew his body only
Would slumber in that silent tomb.
But we sadly miss thee Edward;
Miss thee more than tongues can tell,
O, tis hard to lose our loved ones
But God doeth all things well.
And we hope again to join thee,
When life's pilgrimage is o'er;
Safe with him the realms of glory,
Where death and parting are no more.
