MR. WILLIAM McCLURE.

  We only heard on Monday of the death of our old friend and patron, 
Mr. William McClure, of West township, which sad event occurred at his 
farm residence, near Petersburg, on Monday, the 15th inst.  Mr. McClure 
was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him, and although he 
had outlived the allotted three score and ten years, his death will be 
regretted by a large circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances.  
At the ripe age of 73 he has gone to join his wife who preceded him to 
the spirit land nine years ago.  Seven children survive him: Mrs. W. S. 
Leffard, of Warren, Pa.; Mrs. Simon Hyskell, Potter's Mills, Centre 
county, Pa.; C. N. McClure, Petersburg, Pa.; Mrs. Bertha Norris, 
Huntingdon, and Annie, Benton and Milo, who reside at the homestead.  
The funeral took place on Wednesday and was largely attended by a large 
concourse of friends and neighbors.
