DR. HENRY MILLER McCLELLAN, deceased, was a prominent physician of his day.  He 
was born October 12, 1809, in York, Penn., and was a son of Robert and Sarah 
(Miller) McClellan.  Robert McClellan died March 12, 1813, and his widow was 
subsequently married to Dr. William Jamison, of York, with whom our subject 
prosecuted his medical studies.  He was also a student of the Medical College of 
Baltimore, and a graduate of that institution.  He began the practical duties of 
his profession immediately after graduation, and until his death was untiring in 
his devotion to his duty.  He was a skillful practitioner and achieved an 
enviable reputation and a large practice.  Dr. McClellan was for many years 
prominently identified with the Presbyterian Church, of which he was an elder, 
treasurer and valued member.  As a citizen, he was just and honorable to all, 
and his death, which occurred August 7, 1869, was sincerely regretted by all.  
His wife, with whom he was united May 7, 1835, was Miss Catherine Louisa Smyser, 
a daughter of Philip A. and Susan L. Smyser of York.  She died July 9, 1884, and 
was the mother of seven children, only two now living, Catherine J. and William 
H.; the latter is one of the prominent business men of York, and is engaged in 
the hardware and grocery trades.
