Excerpt from the HISTORY OF MACOUPIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS
Chicago: S. J. Clarke Publishing Company.
He [William H. McMahan] has served as school director but never in any other public office, preferring to concentrate his energies upon his business. His religious views are indicated by membership in the Christian Church of which he is a deacon. He was an active member of the Grange and is now identified with Peach Tree Lodge, No. 633, M.W.A., and is an earnest supporter of the principles of this order. As a soldier of the Civil war he is connected with Luke Mayfield Post, No. 516, G.A.R., and is very acceptably filling the office of junior commander of that organization. He is among the youngest of the survivors of the Civil war and his children and descendants may ever regard with pride the part he took in defending a cause which is regarded by all the world as one of the noblest recorded in human history.∼Il. Inf.
