COL. JAMES A. McCLAIN DIED
AT HOME IN SPANGLER.
Col. James A. McClain, a native of |
Bellefonte but for the past thirty |
years one of the most progressive |
and energetic business men of north- |
ern Cambria county, passed away at |
his home in Spangler at 7:45 o'clock |
last Thursday evening. He had suf- |
fered for a year or more with heart
trouble and some six weeks ago was
stricken with pneumonia. He had so
far recovered from the attack that
he was able to be up when heart
complications developed which caused
his death.
Col. McClain was a good example
of what a man with the right kind
of determination can accomplish dur-
ing his life. From a driver of mules
in the ore mines of Centre county he
rose to be a leader in financial and in-
dustrial circles in Cambria county.
A son of Bernard and Cora Brew
McClain he was born in Bellefonte
on. September 30th, 1849, hence was
close to seventy-nine years of age.
When seven years of age the family
moved to State College and two years
later his father died. James was but
nine years old at the time, and had
had but three years of schooling, but
in order to help his mother he secur-
ed work as a mule driver in the ore
mines near Bellefonte. In 1860 his |
mother moved the family home from |!
State College to Bellefonte and James
continued as a mule driver until 1863 |
when he went to State College as a |
clerk in the store of his uncle. He re-
mained there only a year when he got
a job as brakeman on the Snow Shoe
railroad, taking the place of the reg- |
ular brakeman who had enlisted for
service in the Civil war. A year lai- |
er the war ended, the regular brake- '
man returned home and James was |
-again out of a job. He then went to |
work in the Bellefonte planing mill,
and during the six years of his em-
ployment there studied telegraphy at
night under the late W. L. Malin, then
in charge of the Western Union of-
fice, in Bellefonte. Having become
an expert operator in 1871 he was
appointed operator and station agent
at Julian, on the Bald Eagle Valley
railroad. He later was transferred
to Milesburg and in the spring of 1831
was sent to Snow Shoe.
An ardent Democrat he had always
taken an interest in local politics and
at the solicitation of friends he be-
came a candidate for Register in
1881. He was nominated and elected,
and in 1884 was re-elected for a sec-
ond term. Up to that time there was
no complete indexing system in vogue
in any of the county offices and in
collaboration with J. C. Meyer and
Harry Keller Mr. McClain devised the
present comprehensive system which
is now in force for all the county rec-
ords.
Mr. McClain’s term of office expir-
ed in 1888 and shortly thereafter he

purchased the store down at the old ;
nail works which he conducted quite |
successfully until the works became
financially involved and closed with
a crash some five years later, which
brought to him complete financial
ruin.
The same year Col. J. L. Spangler,
the late D. H. Hastings and a number
of others became interested in the de-
velopment of the coal lands in north-
ern Cambria county and Col. McClain
decided to try his luck there. Hastings
and Spangler were both only mining
villages and after looking them over
Col. McClain selected Spangler and
erecting a small building opened up
a general store. He later began the
operation of a coal mine near Spang-
ler and also one at Bakerton. In
time he became the treasurer of the
Bluebaker Coal company, which later
developed into a holding concern, leas-
ing its mines and acreage to operat-
ing companies. Col. McClain also
opened stores at Hastings and
Barneshoro.
He was one of the organizers and
the secretary-treasurer of the Spang-
ler Improvement company, took a
leading part in the organization of the
Spangler Water company which later
became the Northern Water company
and of which he was president up un-
til his death.
In 1904 he was largely instrumes-
: Philadelphia.
tal in organizing and establishing the
First National bank of Spangler and
from its opening until January 1st,
1925, served as cashier. Since the
latter date he had been the bank’s
president. He was also president of
the First National bank of Bakerton.
In addition to his business instinccs
and acumen Col. McClain had a well
developed humanitarian feeling for
the welfare of his workmen as well
as the public at large and it was prin-
cipally through his efforts that the
Miners’ hospital was built at Spangler.
He became the secretary-treasurer
of the hospital organization and gave
both time and money to make it the
high-class institution it is today. Col.
McClain’s humane spirit was exem-
plified in Bellefonte four years ago
when the big drive was put on to re-
model and enlarge the Bellefonte hos-
pital. Appearing before the local
Kiwanis club he headed the drive with
a gift of $500. He was one of the
; pioneer advocates for good roads in
Cambria county and in his death that
section has lost one of its best eciti-
zens.
In 1872 Mr. McClain married Miss
seph and Nancy Campbell Brown, of
| Bald Eagle valley. They had seven
children. Mrs. Brown died in 1902
and only two of their children survive,
Thomas Brew McClain, of Philadel-
phia, and Mrs. Harvey S. Lingle, of
Washington, D. C. In 1908 Col. Me-
Clain married Miss Emma E. Holli-
day, of Bellefonte, daughter of Mrs.
J. L. Spangler, who survives with one
daughter, Miss Emily Eliza, at home.
Col. McClain was a member of the
Holy Cross Catholic church, of Spang-
ler, a member of the Knights of Co-
lumbus, the northern Cambria Ki-
wanis club and the Chetremon Coun-
try club.
Funeral mass was held in the Holy
Cross Catholic church, at Spangler,
at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, by
Rev. Father Leopold Probst, after
which the funeral party came to Belle-
| fonte by automobile, the remains be-
ing taken direct to the Catholic cem-
etery for burial.
Seventy-five or more friends ac-
companied the remains from Spangler
to Bellefonte, including Mrs. McClain
and daughter, of Spangler, Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas McClain, of Phila-
delphia, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Lingle,

Brisbin and Dr. A. E. Blackburn, of
The others were inti-

Swamp Huckleberries Found on the

a large patch of swamp huckleber-
ries, the only patch of the kind known
in the Alleghenies. The discovery
was made about a mile southeast of
the camp of the Blue Ball Hunting
club.
The engineers are in charge of E.
W. Hess, of Clearfield, and the sur-
vey is being made in the interest of
the State Department of Forests and
Waters, which has taken an option on
the tract for purchase as a game
refuge. The tract extends from the
Port Matilda road to
pike and includes the crest of the
mountain. It also includes the fam-
ous spring and the ruins of the old
Rattlesnake Inn, famous seventy-five
years ago as a half-way house for
travelers over the mountains.
The swamp huckleberry is a shiny,
black variety, much larger than the
ordinary huckleberry, and quite lus-
cious in character. Over in the Bear
Meadows there is a patch of tree
huckleberries, the only ones of the
kind in the State.
