General Notes: Husband - Frank McClister
From the time his school days were over he engaged in farming, and after his marriage he settled in Kittanning township, Armstrong County, PA, on a tract of 250 acres, where he continued to reside for ten years. Then he left the old homestead and moved to the Peter Heilman farm of 250 acres, the place of his father-in-law, of which he became the owner, having perhaps one of the finest country homes in Kittanning township. In addition to general farming he did a large dairy business, having twenty-six cows, most of which are thoroughbred Holsteins. He was one of the first in his neighborhood to introduce thoroughbred cattle. He also showed himself to be a progressive man in other respects, having been one of the patrons and promoters of the Kittanning Telephone Company, in which he and his son owned a large number of shares, and he owned the first automobile in Kittanning township. He was active in local public affairs, having served twelve years as school director and a number of times as judge of election. Politically he was a Republican, and his religious connection was always with the Lutheran Church.
