The Advertiser-Gleam
Mrs. Almeda McElroy McClung, who was 103 years old, died Wednesday at the home 
of her great-niece, Mrs. Tommy Knight south of Union Grove near the New 
Friendship church. Funeral services will be held today, Friday, at 2:00 at the 
New Friendship church, Gober Funeral home directing. Mrs. McClung was born in 
Randolph County 6 years before the Civil War. She and her husband didn't have 
any children. They moved to Union Grove about 35 years ago. He lived until he 
was 90. Mrs. McClung was nearly blind and walked on crutches since a fall about 
30 years ago. But in spite of these handicaps, she was in good spirits and good 
health until her last sickness. She wore a bonnet all the time to cover her 
white hair. She never could understand why women ever want to bleach their hair 
white. In her last years, her greatest pleasure came from her snuff. Without it 
she would have been about lost. Ministers will be the Rev. James Kelley, the 
Rev. L. F. Campbell and the Rev. Leroy Carroll. Burial will be in the church 
cemetery. Mrs. McClung joined the Congregational Methodist Church in early 
girlhood. She and her husband were married over 60 years. He died in 1937.

Daughter of Henry McElroy & Catherine Nix.
