General Notes: Husband - Thomas W. McClain

Mercer, Mercer Co, PA

He was educated in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Sharon, PA. He began the printer’s trade in the office of the Sharon Times in 1868. He was the editor of this paper at the time of its suspension in 1880. He also published a small paper in Sharon for a few months, and was editor of the Vindicator, of Hubbard, Ohio, for nearly one year. In 1880 he joined Capt. George R. Guss in the publication of the Chester County Democrat at West Chester, Penn. In 1882, a few months prior to the death of Hon. William S. Garvin, he came to Mercer to take charge of the Western Press, which in the fall of that year passed into other hands.
