HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1961-08-10, Page 4Mark 92nd 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. W.I.
