General Notes: Husband - Alexander McKim McClure


He was a native of Mifflin township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. For many years he followed farming, but later was engaged in lumbering at Big Run, where he died, at the age of seventy-three years.

At an early age he embarked in the lumber traffic, and for many years carried on an extensive trade along the Monongahela River. In 1861 he made his first business trip to the wilds of Jefferson County, and carried on a large business in that county, but only made his home there from 1884, when he removed to a residence in Big Run. Besides his large lumber interests in Jefferson and Clearfield counties, he owned some of the best farms in Henderson township, and built the large hotel in Big Run, the Hotel McClure, besides being engaged in the mercantile business.


General Notes: Wife - Sarah H. Cox


She was born in Leicestershire, England, about seventy-two miles from London, and came with her parents to America in 1830. They settled at Saltsburg, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, but removed to a farm in Allegheny County, where she resided until her marriage.
