NEW YORK, October 16, 1919 – A telegram was received in this city yesterday by Superintendent George F. Clover of St. Luke’s Hospital that his brother, Rear Admiral Richardson Clover, retied, had died on the Overland Limited, while enroute from California to his home in Washington, D.C. At the time of his death, which was due to nephritis, the train was approaching Cheyenne, Wyoming. Admiral Clover, who was 73 years old, had been suffering from heart disease for several years.
It is believed that the change in the air during the passage over the mountains was too great a strain for him. The funeral services will be held in Washington following arrival of the body there. With him on the train at the time were his wife, who was Miss Dora Miller, daughter of the late United States Senator John F. Miller of California, and their daughter, Miss Dora Clover.
