  BARCLAY, H.E.  12/26/06 Daily American 
  
  H.E. Barclay, 91, of Woodcrest Circle, Scottdale (East Huntingdon Township),
  passed away Dec. 23, 2006, at his residence. Born March 24, 1915, in Somerset
  County, a son of the late H. Ed and Millie Shephard Barclay. He moved to Iron
  Bridge in 1938 and married Anna Schrock in October 1938. She passed away June
  27, 1967. He married Mary Emma Shank in 1969 and was widowed again in 2002. He
  lived on George Street for many years prior to relocating to Woodcrest in
  February 2005. In addition to his parents and wives, he was preceded in death
  by two sisters, Beatrice Rhodes and Wilma Stevens; and two brothers, Paul and
  Milton Barclay. H.E. will be sadly missed by his devoted family - his six
  children, Rosalie Billheimer and husband Dale of Industry, Elaine Kaper and
  husband Ed of Scottdale, Herb Barclay and wife Donna of Mount Pleasant, Paul
  Barclay and wife Nancy of Scottdale, Blaine Barclay and wife Kim of Mount
  Pleasant, and Wayne Barclay and wife Lisa of Scottdale; 22 grandchildren; 26
  great-grandchildren; and his late wife Mary Emma's family, Louise and Larry
  Reeser, Norma and Roger Oswald, and Betty and Monte Hughes. H.E. was a loving
  father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was a graduate of Somerset High
  School with the class of 1933. Years ago, he farmed with his father at Iron
  Bridge and had a retail poultry route in Clairton and Glassport. He also owned
  and managed many rentals in Scottdale and Connellsville. He was self employed
  his entire life and maintained a good work ethic and attitude when working on a
  project for himself or someone else. He always said he "allowed" his children to
  work and encouraged them to enjoy work as well as some time for play. Living in
  a small town did not restrict his travels, as he had the opportunity to venture
  to Australia, Hawaii, Alaska, Nova Scotia, and 47 U.S. states. H.E. was a
  longtime and faithful member of the Trinity Reformed United Church of Christ in
  Scottdale where he served on Consistory as well as many committees. He walked to
  church until he was 89. He was a member of the Hall of Fame for the Scottdale
  Dartball League for his achievement of 1,500 hits. He served one term on the
  Scottdale Joint School Board, representing Upper Tyrone Township during the
  early 1960's and also served on the Scottdale YMCA, Boy Scouts, and S.C.C.I.A.
  board of directors. Family and friends will be received from 2 to 4 p.m.,
