Timothy Clary
Timothy Clary, a native of Ireland, was born in County Queens, Aug., 1840 and 
became a resident of Floyd Co., Ind., in 1869. He was a son of Timothy and 
Mary (Reed) Clary, both of whom have gone to their reward. He was joined in 
wedlock to Alice T. McGinn, Feb. 18, 1873 in New Albany, Ind. His wife was a 
daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Deen) McGinn, deceased, and was born in New York 
City, May 10, 1850. Mr. and Mrs. Clary’s family consists of six children, 
their births occurring in the order here given: Mary A., Joseph T., James J., 
Anna S., Cornelia R. and Francis C.  Comrade Clary was engaged in farming when 
he decided to take up arms in defence of his adopted country.  He was enrolled 
under the first call, April 1861 at Centreville, Wayne Co., Ind., at the age 
of 20 years, becoming a member of Co. K, 10th Ind. V.I.  His term having 
expired, he was honorably discharged Aug. 1861, and re-enlisted Dec. 2, 1861

Corinth, Stone River, Hoovers Gap, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Atlanta 
Campaign, Resaca and several minor engagements. He was honorably discharged 
Dec. 18, 1864, at Lookout Mt., at end of time. His Capt. Edwards says on his 
discharge that Timothy Clary was a good and faithful soldier. His wife’s 
brother, John served in Marine Brigade. Comrade Clary belongs to Sanderson

Additional Comments:
I came across the photocopied pages in a file at the public
library in New Albany. I have never been able to locate an
original copy of the book.
