A number of hubby's ancestors are buried in historic Old Mission Cemetery, Upper Sandusky, Ohio. One is his granddad, known affectionately as "the Old Gentleman," Brice Larimer McClure (1878-1970).
The son of William Madison McClure and Margaret Jane Larimer McClure, Brice was a master machinist who worked on railroads. Some of his tools remain in the family.
Brice married Floyda Mabel Steiner (1878-1948) in June, 1903, and they were the parents of one daughter, Marian Jane McClure (1909-1983).
My genealogy research owes a lot to the Old Gentleman, because he wrote down details about his parents, siblings, and grandparents.
Thankfully, his daughter saved these scraps of paper and they proved to be valuable in tracing the family tree.
