Obituary of Miss McClelland.
The Portland Observer, Thursday, November 11, 1937.
Miss Emma McClelland, 74, a life-long resident of Portland died early Wednesday morning at her home on Kent street, following a long illness. Death was attributed to the infirmities of age.
Funeral services will be held at the home at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, the Rev. Warren E. Brown of the M. E.
church officiating, and burial will be in the Portland cemetery. Pallbearers will be Wright Wakely, Hugh Derby, Ed Hillis, and Earl Richards.
Surviving are one brother, Samuel McClelland, two nephews, William and Russell McClelland, and one niece, Mrs. Lou Richards, all of Portland. Miss McClelland had lived with her brother for the past thirty years.
Emma McClelland was born on March 14, 1863 in the then unincorporated district of Portland to William and Sarah McClelland. The latter was the former Sarah Hillis, daughter of another pioneer family. Emma was the youngest of five children, three of them preceding her in death. John, the oldest, and the founder of the McClelland General store, the first established retail store in
Portland, was the father of William McClelland and of Mrs. Lou Richards, who survive. James, another brother of Emma, was the foster father of Russell, also surviving. Her only sister, Martha, never married, nor did Samuel the
surviving brother.
In her early days Miss McClelland was one of the foremost business women of Portland, through her long connection with the Bazaar and Millinery store, as well as with the McClelland General store. She was a member of the M. E.
church and of the Ladies’ Missionary society of the church, and prior to her illness had always attended faithfully. She was also one of the oldest members of the Portland Grange.
She leaves many sincere friends in all part of Ionia county, who remember and esteem her for the work she did as one of Portland’s first and most active tradeswomen, and as a member of one of the village’s oldest and best known families.
