McClary - In Garrard county, near old Paint Lick church, 85 years ago Jan. 22, last, Joseph R. McClary entered upon a life which proved that the noblest work of God is an honest man and made the world in which he moved better for it. Tuesday afternoon, at his home, presided over by his daughter, Miss Lillie, he passed to his reward. Mr. McClary married Miss Rebecca J. Samuel, and moving to this county, has lived here ever since. He raised an excellent family of six children, all living except the lamented W. F. McClary, who died in the zenith of his usefulness. The survivors are Mrs. Mattie J. Nevius, Mrs. Nannie C. Hiatt, A. N. and J. C. McClary and Miss Lillie W. McClary, and they show the impress of his effort to raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In early life Mr. McClary united with the Baptist church and during his long life lived so that when the summons should come he would be ready. He served the Baptist church here as deacon for half a century and until infirmities came upon him there was no more regular attendant upon the church of God. He was also a Mason and all who have sat with him in the lodge know what a bright, earnest and faithful one he was. For over 60 years he wore the lambskin and held every office in his lodge from tiler to master. Yesterday members of his lodge accompanied the remains to the cemetery and Dr. Shelton made appropriate remarks. A crowd was present to pay the last tribute of respect to the honored citizen, faithful Christian and devoted father and friend, who sleeps again by the side of his wife, with whom he had lived the most of his life and who preceded him to the better land only four years ago.
