Clifton Church
(17 Ma7 1855 - 6 Apr 1943)
Clifton Church was born in Massachusetts, worked in Dallas, TX, for
22 years and then returned to Massachusetts to retire. One could
almost believe it was two different people. His date and place of
birth and wife’s name and age are the same in all records however.
And the Superman/Clark Kent rule comes into play. When he’s in one
state, he’s not in the other.
What drew him to Dallas, TX, from Massachusetts is unknown.
