Inscription. Clif and his family farmed these 40 acres for nearly 70 years. They grew sugar beets, peas, corn, barley, wheat, oats and alfalfa for their Holstein dairy on this fertile land. He was mayor of Kaysville, World War II Ration Board member, and chairman and director of several water and sewer boards. In 1986, the community honored him and his wife Ruth, who taught elementary school, for their many years of volunteer service. They were known and appreciated by family and friends for their honest and hard work. Ruth died on June 1, 1989, and Clif died on March 10, 1991, two weeks short of his eighty-ninth birthday.
