General Notes: Husband - Archie W. McClister

---

He was born in Kittanning township, Armstrong County, PA, and received his early education in the public schools, later at­tending the Kittanning Academy, class of 1905, and two years at Duff's business college, in Pittsburgh. After helping with the work on the home farm for a time he became an auto­mobile salesman for the Studebaker car, being thus engaged for two years, and then for eight months he was with the Kittanning Auto Traffic Company. Following this he became a member of the firm of McClister, Wray & Co., who succeeded S. R. Hews & Co. McClister, Wray & Co. occupied a store 30 by 80 feet in dimensions at Nos. 124-126 McKean street. They carried a large line of fancy and staple groceries, making a specialty of supplying the hotel trade of Kittanning. Thoroughly up-to-date in all their methods, they were the first grocers to deliver with auto truck. Mr. McClister also had other interests, being a stock­holder in the Kittanning Telephone Company, and he was a charter member of the Kittanning Motor & Traffic Company. Socially he was a member of the Knights of Malta and the Protected Home Circle, and was a Republican on political questions.
