General Notes: Husband - Rev. D. H. Anderson McLean, D.D.

---

In the history of the Greenville United Presbyterian Church, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and its educational activities in western Pennsylvania Anderson McLean was a man of extraordinary activity and worth. He increased the membership, during the eleven years' pastorate, to 235, and continued and strengthened the substantial work of his father. During his pastorate, in 1845, the first brick church was built. The principal feature of this building was the high porch along one end, by which the two doors were reached, a narrow stairway at each end leading up to this platform. As an educator, he was connected with the Meadville and Mercer academies during his early career, was one of the founders of Westminster college at New Wilmington, and was engaged in educational work and editorial writing and management for many years.

He graduated from Jefferson College in 1836. He also took a regular theological course, and received his first license to preach in 1840, and took charge of the Mercer and Greenville congregations in 1841, which he served jointly four years, remaining in charge of the Greenville congregation for eleven years. In 1852 he accepted a professor-ship in Westminster College, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. In 1856 he was elected principal of Pittsburgh High School, and resigned in the fall of 1859. In 1858 he became joint proprietor and editor of the United Presbyterian, of Pittsburgh, and four years after sold his interest in that paper. In 1861 he was pastor of Beaver and Four Mile congre-gations, and continued as pastor of Beaver congregation until 1868. In 1867 he took charge of Beaver Ladies' Seminary, continuing the charge over six years. Following this he resided for several years in Allegheny County, teaching and preaching. In 1882 he came to Rochester township, Beaver County. He still continued to preach in vacant congregations, under appointment of his Presbytery.
