General Notes: Husband - Joseph N. McClure

---

He grew to maturity on his father's farm at Clarksville, and at the age of sixteen entered Girard Academy, Girard, PA, where he spent over one year, and then went to Allegheny College, Meadville, PA, where he remained four terms. During this period he clerked, and in spare moments studied law with the intention of entering that profession, registering under the law firm of Griffith & Trunkey, of Mercer. He then entered the Ohio Law School, Cleveland, Ohio, graduated November 16, 1865, and stood his examination, admitting him to all the courts of Ohio, including the United States Court. In January, 1866, Mr. McClure was admitted to the bar at Mercer, but did not commence practice until April, 1867, when he opened an office in Sharon, where he has since continued in the active duties of his profession. He was for some years the legal representative of several of the leading manufactur­ing institutions of the valley, and also the attorney for several of its prom­inent manufacturing and financial interests. Mr. McClure was president of the S. V. Railroad, of the Stewart Railroad, and the State Line & Middlesex Railroad, and was the local solicitor for the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad. He was a Republican in politics, and a member of the Masonic and I. O. O. F. societies. [HMC 1888, 740]
