General Notes: Husband - Robert James McClure


He was educated in the common schools and was brought up on a farm. He taught seventeen terms of school in Mercer County, PA. He and his brother, Henry, bought a mill at Sandy Lake in 1879, and in 1881 it burned. The same year the dam went out, and they rebuilt the mill and dam in 1882, and began running five buhrs. The mill was three stories high, and cost about $7,000. February 2, 1882, the dam again gave away, and they were compelled to spend $1,000 more to repair it. In 1887 they put in the full roller process, at a cost of $5,000. He was also the owner of a large farm in Mercer county. He was a member of the I. O. O. F. and K. of L. He represented his lodge at the grand lodge of I. O. O. F. He served as school director of Lake Township for twenty-three years, and later held the same position in Sandy Lake. His wife was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he was a Republican. [HMC 1888, 1060]
