Ashland Progress
Mrs. Sarah Jane McClellan was born in Troup County, Georgia, January 1, 1844, 
died July 18, 1922, after about two weeks illness. She was brought to Clay 
County in her early life by her parents and spent the greater part of her life 
near Campbell's Crossroads where she died. She was married to W. T. McClellan in 
1861. Mr. McClellan passed away March 27, 1920. 11 children were born to them, 4 
of whom died in their infancy, and Mrs. Warner Todd on February 15, 1918. 3 sons 
and 3 daughters survive: W L. McClellan of Adel, Ga., J. C. McClellan of 
Birmingham, Ala., and E. G. McClellan, Mrs. L. L. Hill, Mrs. J. D. Patterson and 
Mrs. Preston Messer of Route 2, Pyriton, Ala. The deceased was a consecrated 
Christian for 58 years and her life was filled with proof that her religion was 
not a mere formality but was real. She was hospitable, kind and very sympathetic 
and always ready to nurse the sick and comfort the distressed. Her beautiful 
life endeared her to all who knew her. We shall miss her but we shall meet again 
in the sweet by and by. She was laid to rest at Pleasant Grove July 19th in the 
presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. The funeral was 
conducted by Mr. Lambrice, Evangelist, of the Christian Church of which she was 
a member. A. L. Pettus.
