General Notes: Husband - Francis Edwin McLean

---

Owing to the circumstances of the family, he was not able to secure educational advantages over the common school. He early selected the printing business as a life vocation, acquiring a knowledge of the trade in Union City, Pennsylvania. In 1878, he undertook the duties of editor and business manager of the Union City Times. In the following year, he purchased an interest in the paper, and in 1882, in association with his brother J. C., he purchased the office, and they conducted the business under the firm name of McLean Bros. Politically, he was a Democrat, and took a leading and active part in the party progress and workings after he arrived at his majority. He was once the party nominee for the Prothonotary's office, and in 1882 was one of the candidates for the As-sembly, but the county being strongly Republican, he was defeated.

He was killed by cars on Pennsylvania railroad crossing.
