General Notes: Husband - William W. McClay

He never lived in any other home than the old family homestead. He attended the neighborhood schools and also an academy at Buffalo village while he was growing up and later was a student in the Eastman Business College at Poughkeepsie, New York, where he was graduated in 1867. From choice he was a farmer and stock raiser and met with excellent results in raising Black Top sheep, usually having from 250 to 300 head in his flocks.
