Clifford was about 15 months old when his father died of a ruptured appendix. Because of the family's prominence his death was national news, with some newspapers incorrectly reporting Clifford's name as Winslow Warren Smith.
When Clifford's first cousin, Clifford Warren Wolfe, changed his last name to Smith to obtain a share of their grandfather's estate, the press had two Clifford Warren Smiths to keep track of, resulting in numerous confusions in the newspaper articles they produced.
