Previous to Tuesday morning he was apparently in good health, but suffered a stroke of apoplexy, from which he could not recover.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Blue Hill M.E. church, with the pastor, Rev. R.H. Carr in charge, assisted by J.A. Leming. A quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. L.W. Griffith, Mrs. Ed Schwentker and L.A. Heath, sang accompanied by Miss Arlyne Schwentker at the piano. Six nephews acted as pallbearers.

William Montgomery McClure, son of James McClure and Eliza Montgomery, was born in Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland, on August 15, 1848, and died at his home in Blue Hill on November 3, 1938, at the age of 90 years, 2 months and 18 days. At the age of 19 he came to America. His parents and three brothers came later and all lived at Dansville, New York until 1876, when they migrated farther west to McLean county, Illinois He was married to Lida Rose Heagler at Bloomington, Illinois, on December 26, 1878. To this union three children were born, James of Blue Hill, Charles of Colorado Springs, Colo., and one son died in infancy. They came to the Blue Hill community in 1884 and resided on the farm 3 miles west of town. Mrs. McClure died on June 2, 1890. On April 22, 1891, he married Henrietta McDonald of Roseland. To this second union one son, Donald was born. He preceded his father in death on September 24, 1934. The deceased is survived by his devoted wife and the two sons above mentioned, three grandsons, five granddaughters and three great granddaughters, other relatives and a host of loyal neighbors and friends whose friendship he prized greatly. Mr. McClure was baptized and entered into the Presbyterian faith in early childhood in his native land. He later was a member of the Presbyterian church at Dansville, New York and after moving to Blue Hill, was a trustee of the local Presbyterian church until the time of dissolution several years ago. He was the type of individual who as a pioneer settler brought from the east that high type of citizenship that has helped to mound our communities as to the religious and educational advantages we enjoy today. His friendship was prized by those who knew him even as he prized his friends.
