In addition to his administrative and fund-raising roles, Clover taught courses in the philosophy of religion, ancient history, Bible analysis, and ethnology.[10] In 1966, the LMBIS yearbook The Key dedicated its first ever edition to Clover, citing the minister's "love for God, his sincere interest and concern for his fellow man, and his sacrificial giving of himself."[11] After leaving Calvary church, Clover was the interim pastor of Forbing Woods Missionary Baptist Church in south Shreveport. In 1972-1973, The Key reported thirty-three regular and twenty-one part-time students at LMBIS.[12]

Clover was an ectomorphic, bespectacled, red-haired, and ruddy-complexioned man.[13] After his initial retirement, the Clovers relocated to Arkadelphia, Arkansas, which is listed in the Social Security Death Index as his final residence, but they had returned to Minden, where he had resumed teaching at LMBIS for the last two years of his life. He died at the age of seventy-three in the home of Wilton Wager, then pastor of the Trinity Missionary Baptist Church in Camden, Arkansas, where Clover had been preaching weeklong revival services, a then customary practice in most Baptist churches.[14]
