General Notes: Husband - Matthew L. McClure


He was born at Homestead, Pennsylvania, where he received his education and learned the trade of carpenter. In September, 1862, he enlisted in Co. H, 14th P. C., and served with his regiment under Gens. Hunter, Averill and Sheridan in the Army of Western Virginia. At the close of the war he returned home, and was clerk for his father in the county recorder's office; then engaged in the lumber business in Pittsburgh some three years; then worked at his trade in Erie County, Pennsylvania, until 1874, when he returned to Pittsburgh and kept books for a wholesale grocery until 1879. Following this he was engaged at his trade, and in the planing-mill at Homestead.
He was one of the administrators of his father's estate, and was councilman and assessor of Homestead. He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church, Homestead.
