JOHN W. McCLURE, farmer and trader, P. O. North Middletown, is a native
of Montgomery County, son of John and Mahala (Stofer) McClure and was
born January 17, 1842.  His great grandfather was a native of Ireland and
emigrated at an early day to the United States and stopped for a while in
Virginia, and afterward came to Kentucky where he died.  His grandfather,
Andrew mcClure settled in Montgomery County where he reared six sons and
six daughters.  The second son, John McClure, married Mahala Stofer, and
settled in his native county, where he, like his father, raised six sons
and six daughters.  The second son, John W., our subject, after remaining
on the homestead till [sic] the age of maturity, began business for
himself, and on the 27th of March, 1877, was married to Mary C. Mark, of
Montgomery.  This union is blessed with one child, John Mark.  In March,
1880, Mr. McClure moved to Bourbon County, where he now resides.  He is
an enterprising young man, and owns 135 acres of land where he farms and
handles stock.  Mr. McClure and wife are both members of the Christian
Church.  He is a Democrat in politics.
