Pork Funeral services for former Gov. Cliff Finch of Batesville were held at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 24, at the First Baptist Church in Batesville, where he was a member, with burial in Batesville Magnolia Cemetery. The 59-year-old lawyer died Tuesday, April 22, of a heart attack at his office. A graduate of the Ole Miss law school, Finch was born and reared in rural Panola County.

He served in the Mississippi House during the 1960-64 administration of Gov. Ross Barnett. He was later elected district attorney in north Mississippi's 17th Circuit, which includes DeSoto, Tate, Panola, Yalobusha and Tallahatchie counties. He won a second term in 1967, and four years later launched a Democratic campaign for lieutenant governor, losing to state political veteran William F. Winter.

After his loss, he returned to his Batesville law practice and began working on his campaign for governor. His campaign tactics, which included toting a lunchbox and riding a bulldozer, paid off, and he won the governorship and took office in 1976. Halfway through his term, Finch entered into the Democratic race to replace retiring Sen. James 0. Eastland (D-Miss.) with a campaign that failed in the runoff election.

In 1979, he turned his eyes to the bigger political stage and in January 1980 he formally announced his presidential ambitions to take the Democratic nomination away from then-president Jimmy Carter. The campaign made little headway, and he eventually returned to Batesville to practice law again. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Zelma Smith Finch; two daughters, Mrs. Janet Sedano of Batesville and Mrs.

Anne Freeman of Memphis; two sons, Charles Clifton "Chuck" Finch II and Stephen Nicholas "Nick" Finch, both of Batesville; two sisters, Mrs. Joseph Truemper of Wilmington, and Mrs. Paul Pritchard of Courtland; a brother, James Edward Finch of Batesville and two grandchildren.
