Lemuel McClamroch, veteran of the Civil war, member of the advisory board of Union township, a leading farmer of northwest of this city, and one of the most widely known and highly respected citizens of the county, died at his home Tuesday evening about six after a prolonged illness. His death was due to paralysis and his relatives and friends had realized for some time that he could not recover. After having a stroke some time ago he was under the care of two trained nurses and the best of medical attention was given him but to no avail. He gradually grew worse till the end came Tuesday evening. Mr McClamroch was born in Butler county, Ohio, July 20, 1839, and was nearly seventy-five years old at death. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James McClamrock. When he was six years old his parents came to this county and Lemuel remained here during the remaining sixty-nine years of his life. In 1862 he enlisted as a volunteer when the call was issued for soldiers. He served in the famous Wilder's brigade and was a member of the Seventy-second Indiana volunteer infantry and was in many of the most important battles of the Civil war. It was after the war that Mr. McClamroch actively engaged in farming. He returned to his farm northwest of the city and soon afterward in 1866 was married to Mary B. Jones. Three children were born to them, Mrs. John Ames and Mrs. E.M. Morrow surviving. In 1888 his first wife died and two years later Mr. McClamroch was married to Mary Jane Fordyce. One child, Lemuel Paul McClamroch, was born to them. The deceased was prominent in church work, being for years an active member of the Methodist church. In politics he was always a staunch republican and his efforts in the political field have often added strength to the party in this country. He was known to all as a man of absolute honesty and integrity and his straightforward manner has won him many friends. The funeral services will be held at the late residence on Thursday afternoon at one with Rev. George Jones in charge. Interment at Oak Hill cemetery. - thanks Kim H
