THE LATE N. A. McCLUNG

The following facts concerning the life of the late N. A. McClung are of more than ordinary interest to his family, relatives and neighbors:

N. A. McClung was one of six sons, Nelson A., James, John, Augustus G., Rufus, Jesse, born to William and Mary Scott McClung, his birth taking place in Rush County, Ind., Feb. 28, 1846.

When but two and one-half years of age he came to Fulton county with his parents and settled on the land in the Mt. Zion neighborhood, where he spent all the remainder of his life, passing onward at the ripe age of 73 years.

In all the different interests of life that stand for progression and righteousness, Mr. McClung played an important part. For instance, for over fifty years he was a member of Odd Fellows' lodge, and was an elder of the Presbyterian church for forty-three years, and at no time did he lack in earnestness and zeal for the cause of the church, or for the fraternal principles of brotherhood.

He filled the position, also, of president of the Mutual Insurance Company, also director of the Indiana Cyclone Insurance Company, filling both offices with credit to himself and those with whom he was associated.

He is survived by Mrs. McClung, sons Ralph, Arthur, Paul C., (in service) and Mrs. Leone Savage.
