General Notes: Husband - Robert Horace McClay


He was reared on the old family homestead in Canton Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. In his boyhood his educational opportunities were somewhat limited, but later he acquired a good education through a course of reading and of absorption from those with whom he came in contact, who had enjoyed more advantages than had been afforded him. He followed agricultural pursuits during many years and resided on his well-improved farm in Canton Township until he removed to Washington. In addition to his farming interests he was concerned in successful business undertakings, made wise investments and was a stockholder and a director of the First National Bank of Washington.
The family held membership in the United Presbyterian Church. Mr. McClay was a Republican, with a tendency to be independent in his views on public questions.
