   A. J. McClelland, physician, surgeon and druggist, Veedersburg, is a native
of Clinton county, Indiana, born in 1844, and is the son of James S. and Mary A.
McClelland, both natives of Ohio. They settled in Clinton county in 1844, in the
town of Jefferson, where the former died in 1873. James S. was a graduated
physician of the Jefferson College, Philadelphia, which profession he pursued
thirty years. He went out with the 25th Ill. Vols. in 1861 as
lieutenant-colonel. This office he held till within three months of the time the
regiment was mustered out. He was thrown from his horse in the battle of
Murfreesboro and disabled. In 1864 he again enlisted in the 135th Ill. Vols. as
surgeon, and was detailed as director of Major-Gen. Melroy's staff. When the war
was over he returned to his home at Jefferson, Indiana, and resumed the practice
of medicine, which he continued until his death. Dr. A. J. received a good
common school education, and attended the Wabash College one year. At the age of
twelve he enlisted as drummer in the 25th Ill. Vols., but owing to sickness was
discharged. He returned home at the end of three months. In 1864 he enlisted in
the 135th Ill. Vols. as postmaster. He read medicine under his father and Dr.
Barnett, took his first course of lectures at Ann Arbor, Michigan, the second at
the Miami Medical College, and graduated with the degree M. D. in the class of
'68, and the same year he began the practice of medicine in Steam Corner,
Fountain county, where he remained two years, then removed to Waynetown,
Montgomery county, and in 1872 he located in Veedersburg, where, in connection,
with his practice, he keeps a drug store. In 1869 he was married to Miss Cary
Glasscock, daughter of William and Cynthia Glasscock. She and her parents are
natives of Fountain county. By this union he has one child, Edgar. Dr.
McClelland is a member of the ancient order of Masons, lodge No. 491, and of the
Grand Army of the Republic. In politics he is strictly a national.
