General Notes: Husband - Frank McClister


From the time his school days were over he engaged in farming, and after his marriage he settled in Kittanning township, Armstrong County, PA, on a tract of 250 acres, where he con­tinued to reside for ten years. Then he left the old homestead and moved to the Peter Heilman farm of 250 acres, the place of his father-in-law, of which he became the owner, having per­haps one of the finest country homes in Kit­tanning township. In addition to general farming he did a large dairy business, hav­ing twenty-six cows, most of which are thor­oughbred Holsteins. He was one of the first in his neighborhood to introduce thoroughbred cattle. He also showed him­self to be a progressive man in other respects, having been one of the patrons and promoters of the Kittanning Telephone Company, in which he and his son owned a large number of shares, and he owned the first automobile in Kittanning township. He was active in local public affairs, having served twelve years as school director and a number of times as judge of election. Politically he was a Re­publican, and his religious connection was al­ways with the Lutheran Church.
