General Notes: Husband - Charles Reed McClune


He was educated in the old "8 square" school-house in Piney township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. On August 1, 1862, he enlisted in Company E, Tenth Pennsylvania Reserves. Later he was transferred to the One Hundred and Ninety-first Regiment, Company I, and he served in the Civil War until June 1, 1865, when he received his honorable discharge. He participated in the conflicts at South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Appomattox Court House, Gettysburg, Petersburg, Welden Railroad, Hatchers Run and the Wilderness campaign. He was wounded by a bursting shell at Fredericksburg and sent to the hospital at Washington, D. C., where he remained for six weeks. He was never captured. After the close of the war he returned to Clarion County and for one year worked at boatbuilding on the Clarion river. In 1867 he went to the oil fields at Pleasantville and from there to Foster Island. In 1871 he came back to Clarion County and from that year until 1905 was engaged in the lumbering business. He operated in the forests of Clarion County, built boats, and with his partner employed an average of twenty men all the year round. In 1904 Mr. McClune removed to Callensburg and there purchased some fine residence property. He lived retired beginning in 1905, but retained a moneyed interest in the lumber business with which he was identified for so many years. He was a stockholder in the Citizens Trust Company at Clarion and had some oil interests in that section of the state. In politics he accords an unswerving allegiance to the Republican party, in the local councils of which he was an active factor. He served on the Callensburg school board for several years, and was also a member of the city council. He and his wife were members of the Reformed church, to whose good works they were liberal contributors.
