"The Hillsboro Mirror, Wednesday, 30th November 1927: IN MEMORY OF S. D. McCLURE.
S. D. McClure died November 26th at the home of his grandson, J. R. Ballew of Abbott, after a lingering illness during which he bore his suffering patiently.
He was born in South Carolina January 26, 1839; and would have been 89 years old had he lived until next January. He was twice married. His first wife died in 1872, preceding him to the heavenly home more than half a century. To this union eight children were born, five of whom are living, Mrs. J. C. Ballew of Abbott, L. L. McClure of Hillsboro, S. L. McClure of Abilene, F. K. McClure of Denison, and Mrs. W. J. Booth of Wichita Falls. To the last union were born two children who are now living, John McClure of Mineral Wells and Mrs. Ada Chase of San Antonio.
He joined the Methodist church in 1867 and at the time of his death was a member of the Abbott Methodist Sunday School where he was a member of five generations, all attending the same Sunday school where he will be greatly missed. He was Past Master of the Masonic lodge, having been a member of the order since 1872.
He was also a veteran of the Civil War.
The funeral was conducted at the Abbott Methodist Church Sunday afternoon by Rev. W. Vinsant assisted by Rev. E. N. Scarlett and the remains were laid away in the Abbott cemetery, where Masons and Confederate veterans held a service. A large host of friends and relatives are left to mourn his going. We offer sympathy to the bereaved ones. A FRIEND."
