Cascade Pioneer, July 11, 1884

In the death of George McLees the people of Butterfield, Richland township, 
Jones county, lost an estimable man, neighbor and citizen. He was above 
reproach, just and honorable to his fellows, genial and charitable to all in 
fact possessing all the attributes that belong to a good Christian man. He was 
born in Columbiana county, Ohio, Oct. 12th 1812, and was the son of Cornelius 
and Mary McLees, and lived in Ohio until 1855. He was married twice, first to 
Miss Francis Pinkerton, and after his marriage emigrated to Iowa, settling in 
Richland township, Jones county where he resided up to the time of his death. 
In the year 1857 his wife died. She was the mother of eight children, five of 
whom died, while three survive her viz: John, Catherine, and Miss Fannie. In 
1860 he was married to Mrs. Mary O'Brien by whom he had four children, three 
whom are dead, one living, Charles, who resides upon the homestead with his 
mother. Mr. McLees had been a patient sufferer for several years, and during 
the time accepted the painful situation as a true Christian gentleman.
