General Notes: Husband - Joseph Hamilton McClure

Ohio - a physician

He attended the schools of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and subsequently became a student in Westminster College at New Wilmington. His early ambition was to become a physician, and with this end in view he studied and later entered Jefferson Medical College, at Philadelphia, where he remained for two years. He left the college, however, for the farm and after locating in Wilmington Township, Lawrence County, and gave the larger part of his time and attention to the developing of fine stock. He owned a farm of 102 acres, which lay on the west side of the lower New Castle road, about two miles distant from New Wilmington, and another farm which contained fifty-three acres and was located on the south side of the Wilson mill road, two and one-half miles south of New Wilmington. He had both farms well improved and cultivated portions and kept a large amount for pasturage, as he raised many horses and Shorthorn cattle. He owned an interest in two stallions, one a fine three-year-old named Cleopaz, that took first premium at the Michigan State Fair; and Partisan, a seven-year-old, of registered stock, that was purchased at Byron, Michigan, and was very highly valued by the stockmen through that section.
