MCCLURE, LLOYD M., who was born in Beardstown, Ill., May 31, 1890, is a son of Milton and Rose (Orwig) McClure. The family history appears in this work. Lloyd M. McClure received his early educational training in the common and high schools of his native town and subsequently entered the Culver (Ind.) Military Academy, where he was graduated in the scientific course with the class of 1910. Returning them to Beardstown he applied himself to the study of law with his father, afterwards pursuing a three-year course in a law school. Since completing this Mr. McClure has had charge of his late father's extensive law practice, which he has conducted with marked ability, preserving the high reputation of his lamented sire, whose death occurred April 9, 1913. His mother is still a resident of Beardstown and is highly respected by a large circle of acquaintances. Mr. McClure is a young man of notable talent and creditable culture, and gives early promise of a successful career.

Mr. McClure is connected with the Congregational church, in which his father was a shining light. Politically he gives a firm support to the policies of the Republican party.
