Birthday Of
William. McClure
A party, marking the 92nd
birthday of William McClure,
was held recently at his home
in McKillop. The party was
unique in that it also marked
the first birthday of his grand-
son, Bryan McClure, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Nelson McClure, who
now live on the homestead
farm. Both were born on
August 2 -one in 1869, and the
other in 1960.
Mr. McClure, who lives with
his son Nelson, is in fair health,
but spends most of the time in
bed.
A family gathering, held tha
previous Sunday, was attended
by his family and by Miss Isa•
bella McClure and Mrs. John
Broadfoot, sister of Mr. Mc-
Clure.
His grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. John McClure, came to
Canada from Ireland in 18:3J.
They settled first in the Brock -
v ille district, where they lived
for 17 years. They then moved
to McKillop in 1847, settling on
the farm which has been in the
family ever since. The fourth
generation, Nelson McClure, is
operating the farm at present.
The pioneer generation first
lived in a shanty, then a log
cabin. A few years later (107
years ago) they built the house
which is still the McClure home
and in splendid repair. The
house was built at the back end
of the farm, as that was where
the early settlers expected the
road would be built. In 1895 the
house was moved to the front
of the farm after a road was
constructed.
William McClure, one of a
family of eleven, has enjoyed
fairly good health. Eight of his
family of nine children are liv-
ing. They are: Harvey, Hullett
Township; Sam, Bert, Nelson
and Walter, all of McKillop;
Mrs. Thomas (Margaret) Carter,
Seaforth; Mrs. Robert (Dorothy)
Dalton, Hullett, and Mrs. Percy
(Mavis) Dalton, McKillop. There
are 24 grandchildren. His wife,
the former Emiline Storey, died
15 years ago last January. On::
son, James, also predeceased
him.
He has one brother, George.
of Wilkie, Sask., and three sis-
ters, Miss Isabella McClure, who
will be 89 on Sept. 2; Mrs. John
(Margaret) Broadfoot, of Mc-
Killop, and Mrs. J. L. (Fannie)
Brown, of Lobo.
Mr. McClure has one great-
grandchild, Janet Moore, Seb-
ringville, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Moore.
