• Notes

  According to Ethel McClain's Family Records: John McClain was born in 1867. He worked for his parents until he was 21 years old (1889). He and a brother rented the farm home for 5 years. Then he bought a farm of 90 acres in Illinois, the same year he was married, 1894. He farmed here for 7 years. In 1901 he sold out and moved to Mooresville, Missouri. In 1902 he bought 200 acres and sold it the same year. About 1903 he moved to Grundy County. He went to Kansas and Oklahoma hunting for land but could find nothing as good as Grundy County, so he bought 135 acres in Grundy County. Later he purchased 98 more acres around Farmersvlle and Laredo. Here in Laredo he had a well improved farm of 23 acres. John's wife, Margaret Hornecker's, parents lived in Wichita. They were Ferdinand and Margaret Wagle Hornecker. John and his wife Margaret moved to Wichita about 1920. When John lived in Missouri, he became ill with pneumonia. Aunt Bell and Uncle Jim came to see him. They bought a farm in Clinton, Missouri, together. Aunt Bell married the hired hand, Albert Fred Birzendine. Family members remember her as an old maid. Ethel's records also state that John was a carpenter and Episcopal.
