   WILLIAM McCLAREN, one of the principal farmers of Jefferson Township, is a
native of Venango County, Penn., and was born August 29, 1833, one of nine
children born to Rankin and Margaret (Bunnell) McClaren, who were among the
earliest settlers of Greene County. Rankin McClaren was a farmer, and died here
about 1851. Our subject was reared to farming, and has followed it with success.
April 19, 1857, he married Elizabeth Dyar, and to the union were born nine
children— Laura E., born March 9, 1859; Huldah M., February 19, 1862; Nancy G.,
May 3, 1864; Samuel W., July 8, 1866; George O., July 29, 1868; Llewella, August
24, 1870; Grace, September 17, 1872; Lessie, December 23, 1875; William R., July
3, 1881. Mr. McClaren and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Oak Grove. He owns 490 acres of excellent land, well improved, and devotes most
of his attention to stock-raising. He is a Democrat and usually takes a lively
interest in public affairs.
