Funeral services for Clifford R. Hove, 74, will be held today (Tuesday) from the First Congregational church in Alexandria. Rev. Dudley Beresford, pastor of the Episcopal church in Alexandria will officiate. Mr. Hove was a member of the Episcopal church in Alexandria. Interment will be made in Kinkead cemetery.
Mr. Hove passed away Saturday morning at the Douglas County Hospital where he was taken following an automobile accident near Osakis April 11th. The car driven by Hove and a Melrose school bus collided at the west city limits of Osakis about 10:30 p.m., April 11. He suffered severe chest injuries, a fractured knee and numerous bruises and had been in serious condition since the accident.
Mr. Hove was widely known in Douglas county and Minnesota as he had served as a state representative, mayor of Alexandria and manager of the Runestone Electric association.
He was born May 29, 1887 at Appleton, Minn., and moved with his parents to Douglas county as a young boy. After education in the Douglas county schools, he moved to Montana where he homesteaded in 1912 and where he lived until 1917. His marriage to Lillian M. Solem took place Oct. 17, 1917 at Fingal, N.D. She preceded him in death a number of years ago.
From 1917 to 1922 he was employed by the Great Northern Railroad in Montana until the family returned to Douglas county in 1922. Upon his return here, he resumed farming operations until 1936. As a farmer, he was noted for his outstanding herd of thoroughbred Guernsey cattle. In 1936 he was named manager of the Rural Electric system in this area and which he helped organize. He consequently discontinued his farming operations and moved to Alexandria. He served in many community capacities and in 1934 was elected to the state House of Representatives where he served until 1938. His next step into politics was in 1950 when he was elected mayor of Alexandria, a post he held until 1956. He also was a candidate for congress from the seventh congressional district in 1952.
Survivors include four daughters and a number of grandchildren. The daughters are: Margaret (Mrs. O. M. Maclearn) of Downers Grove, Ill.; Gertrude (Mrs. H. J. Moreau) of Minneapolis; Dorothy (Mrs. Charles G. Bundy) of Alexandria; and Edith (Mrs. Donald J. Kelly) of Alexandria.
