THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR – Bulletin of the Sebewa Center Association, Volume 32, April 1997, Number 5:
YOUNG, BRUCE E., 87, widower of Lucille (McClelland) Young, father of David W. 
Young of Traverse City, Kathryn Mosier of Fulton, NY, and Carol Landers of 
Cadillac, son of Matilda Christie and Claude D. Young.  Born in Leslie, MI, 
Bruce graduated from Albion College and married Lucille McClelland of 
Portland.  They ran the McClelland General Store until the death of her 
father, John A. McClelland.  John had a brother who was a silent partner, 
either Sam or another brother.  Sam’s fine Queen Anne Style home stood where 
the 7-11 store is now at the corner of Brush and Kent Streets.  John’s big 
house remains across Brush Street.  When they came to settle Will’s estate, 
they found that John’s estate had never been settled and they could not get 
clear title to the business.  So they had to sell out the store at auction to 
settle with the great-uncle’s heirs, who were importers out East.  Youngs 
moved back to Albion and Bruce became vice president of the Bank of Albion.  
These McClellands are believed to have connections to the J. H. McClelland 
(1832-1902) and Chase McClelland families buried in East Sebewa Cemetery, but 
no one remembers how.
