RESIDENT OF THE COUNTY FOR 68 YEAARS MAN DIES.
With the death of Squire (Thomas) Jefferson McClain on Thursday morning, Floyd county lost one of its oldest residents, a man who had spent 68 years of his life of 89, in the county. He came here when a youth of 21, before the war, and had always played his part in the affairs of the community. He served gallantly in the war, and had been a good citizen since. His death occurred after an illness of considerable length, and was due to the general breakdown from old age. His funeral will take place at noon today from Mizpah church. Left to mourn his loss are seven children, H. J. McClain, of the Rome police force; Homer McClain, of Oklahoma; C.D. McClain, of Birmingham, Ala.; J. T. McClain, of Morrison's; Mrs. Oliver and Mrs. Lanham, of Lindale and Mrs. Cobb, of the Etowah district.
