McLain, a native of Pennsylvania who brought his family to Crawford county, Illinois in 1865, locating upon a farm where our subject was reared to manhood.

On the 15th of September, 1888, Dr. McLain led to the marriage altar Miss Allie Barlow, a daughter of Thomas Barlow, of Eaton, Crawford county. They have made many warm friends since locating in Bureau, and in social circles hold an enviable position.
