Notes: There is family discussions on whether the family name was McCluer or McClure. The tall headstone is spelled McCluer, and the Civil War stone is spelled McClure. This is not two people, but rather he has a personal headstone (shared with his wife), and a govt headstone for his Civil War Service.

Obituary
John S. McClure, son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth McClure, was born in Darke county, Ohio, Sept. 11th, 1824 and was married to Mary Stephens November 6th, 1851. To them were born eight children, six sons and two daughters, all of whom have grown to respectable manhood and womanhood and were present to witness the first burial from the family circle.
He moved to Huntington county in 1857, where he united with the U.B. church in 1860, of which he remained a member until called to his reward. He enlisted in his country's service in December, 1863, in the 131st Regiment Indiana Volunteers, (or 13th Indiana cavalry,) where for about two years he underwent the vicissitudes of camp and battle field, which left him with a shattered constitution and feeble in body to plod along the remainder of life's journey.
He crossed the line of worlds at daybreak, September 23rd, 1894, aged 70 years and 12 days. A few days before his death he said if he could only see all his children once more he could depart in peace. His wish was gratified and the exhortation was such as only a Father in Israel could give. He leaves an aged and afflicted companion and eight children to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope, for they are only waiting for the summons to join him on the other and brighter shore. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. W.A. Oler, of Dublin, Wayne county, were held in the M.E. church Tuesday at 10 o'clock, and interment was in the Masonic cemetery.
