Mrs. Cornelia Wells McClain, wife of J. Leveritt McClain, died at 10:30 Friday night at her home 848 North Young street. She had been ill for some time with diabetes but gangrene developed from the disease about a week ago and her condition grew worse very rapidly.

Mrs. McClain was born in Trimble county, Kentucky, on September 30, 1852. She was twice married. Her first marriage was to the late Stanford Mitchell, which occurred in Kentucky. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Indiana where Mr. Mitchell’s death occurred about forty years ago. One child was born to this union, a daughter, who died when but two years of age.
Thirty-five years ago she was united in marriage to J. L. McClain. In addition to the husband, she is survived by three stepchildren, Harry McClain of Indianapolis; Miss Nellie McClain, who lived at home and Mrs. Ernest Julian of Franklin. One sister and four brothers also survive. The sister is Mrs. Nannie A. Bebout of Fort Wayne and the brothers are George and John Wells, of Indianapolis; Wade Wells of Lyons, Indiana, and William Wells, of Memphis, Tenn.
At the age of fifteen years Mrs. McClain united with the Baptist church in her neighborhood in Trimble county, Kentucky and she had always held membership at that place.
Mr. and Mrs. McClain lived for many years on a small farm in Needham township, southeast of Franklin on the Greensburg road. Two years ago this August they moved to Franklin to the home on North Young street where they had since resided.
