General Notes: Husband - John Logan McClelland

---

He attended Jefferson College before he accompanied the family when removal was made South in 1858. In 1862 the family came back to Canonsburg. In 1861 he entered the Confederate army as a private in Co. G, 50th Tenn. Vol. Inf., in which he served a short time, this regiment being the garrison regiment of Fort Donaldson. Soon after enlisting he was made second lieutenant. In 1869 he returned to Washington County and was a member of the civil engineering corps that built the Chartiers Valley Railroad and after the completion of that contract he entered the office of the chief engineer of the Panhandle Railroad, and remained with that road until 1881. In 1883 he was made deputy sheriff of Washington County and served three years under Sheriff W. B. Chambers. In 1886 he opened a real estate office and at the same time organized a building and loan association which proved very successful, and demonstrated his ability and integrity as a business man. In 1894 he organized, with others, the Canonsburg Electric Light Company, of which he was president from 1894 until 1907, which was sold to the Washington Electric Light Company in 1909, it taking charge on April 1, 1909. In politics, Mr. McClelland was a stanch Democrat.
