J. G. McClanahan.
-----
J. G. McClanahan was born in Lexington, Ky. June 18, 1826, and died in his home near Lecompton, Kansas Feb. 4, 1905 at the age of 78 years 7 months and 17 days. When 10 years of age he removed with his parents to Boone County, Missouri, from there he moved in 1848 and established his home in Linn county, Missouri.
He was married in 1850 to Miss Mary A. Zinn, to this union were born 10 children, 7 of whom with his widowed companion still survive him.
In the month of November 1824 they moved to the farm in Douglas County Kansas where he spent the remainder of his days.
Bro. McClanahan was one of the pioneers of Kansas. He was possessed of that sterling integrity and sturdy manhood which well qualified him to assist in settling this country. He was honored among men in seeing his sons and daughters in places of usefulness in the community. Brother McClanahan was converted and united with the church in 1852, and has ever since been a faithful follower of his Master. Shortly before he died he said, 'There is nothing in the way. I am ready.' His funeral was conducted on Feb. 8th from his late residence by J. W. Reed and M. T. Crows, who were closely associated with him in much of his religious work during the later part of his life. Our Brother is gone but not forgotten; and as we laid his body to rest in the peaceful city of the dead his immortal spirit was in the bliss of the blest, where he awaits the coming of his friends and loved ones left behind.
