McLean, Simpson, Salisbury, was born in Ireland, March 1, 1845.  His father, 
John C. McLean, came to this country when Simpson was a child.  They settled 
first in Philadelphia, where the elder McLean followed the occupation of 
weaving. After three years they moved into Fairfield and took up land.  Our 
subject was educated in the schools of the vicinity, and afterwards traveled 
for fifteen years for a well-known patent medicine house.  About ten years ago 
he started a general store in Devereaux, which he has since successfully 
conducted.   In 1861 Mr. McLean enlisted in the Twenty-ninth Ohio Volunteers 
and served three years, participating in nineteen battles.  He was discharged 
at Atlanta, Ga.   He was severely wounded three times.  Mr. McLean married 
Elizabeth Smith, by whom he had one son, Nathan, now an engineer.   Some time 
after his first wife's death our subject married Fanny Case, and they have had 
three children.  Mr. McLean is a member of the G. A. R. Post at Salisbury 
Center.   He owns the town hall, his store, and meat market, besides dwellings 
and lots in Devereaux.
