General Notes: Husband - Thomas McClain


He was educated in the grade and high schools of Mercer, Pennsylvania, prior to becoming associated with his father in the printing business. Upon the death of the older man, in 1931, Thomas McClain became the sole owner of his business. He specialized in job printing in a most modern plant. One of his customers of long standing, is the Reznor Manufacturing Company, the largest industrial concern of Mercer. The McClains, father and son, handled the printing of this corpora­tion since it was founded.
Thomas McClain succeeded his father as justice of the peace, in 1931. He also was county auditor several times, covering a period of about eight years. He was a Demo­crat in his political allegiance. Fraternally Mr. McClain was affiliated with Mercer Lodge, Free and Accepted Ma­sons, of which he was secretary; was a member of the various bodies of Masonry including the Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and was formerly a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Loyal Order of Moose. He was a member of several printer's associations and of the Masonic Club. He attended the Presbyterian Church.
