CLINTON McCLARTY, a prominent business man of Louisville, was born and
reared in Breckinridge County, Ky., and is a son of John and Jane (Allen)
McClarty, both members of leading families of that county.  The latter
was a daughter of Jo Allen, Esq., who for fifty-six years was county and
circuit clerk of Breckinridge County, and a niece of Colonel John Allen,
who commanded a regiment in the war of 1812, and fell in the disastrous
battle of River Raisin.  John McClarty was a merchant, and for many years
a prominent citizen of Hardinsburg, the capital of Breckinridge County.
Clinton, the subject of this sketch, was born July 14, 1831, and was
educated in Breckinridge and Hardin counties; at the age of sixteen he
became deputy clerk of Hardin County, and afterward of Nelson County. In
1851 he settled in Owensboro, and entered upon the practice of law.  In
1857, when the Democrats came into power, he was elected chief clerk
of the House of Representatives, serving until 1861.  When the civil war
broke out he joined the Fourth Kentucky (Confederate) regiment, and was
afterward assigned to General Breckinridge's staff.  He was afterward
transferred to the Trans-Mississippi Department, where he served until the
close of the war.  In 1866 he came to Louisville and engaged in the
banking business, as teller of the Western Financial Corporation, now the
Bank of America.  When the latter went into liquidation he was elected
(in 1876) manager of the Louisville Clearing House, which position he now
holds.  Major McClarty is a man of unblemished integrity and fine business
energy; he is courteous, gentlemanly, polite and obliging to all with whom
he comes in contact.  Major McClarty was elected to the lower house of the
State Legislature for the session of 1879-80, where he was a working
member, and served on several important committees.  He was married in
1858 to Miss Lucinda B. Elliott, an excellent lady of Nelson County, Ky.
They have three [sic] children living--Clinton, Jr.--and Anna.
