Member of Firm, of McLaury Bros. at Portlandville and One of Best Known Methodist Laymen in This Section-Funeral Services Saturday Afternoon at 1 O'clock-Man Highly Respected
Charles D. McLaury,of the widely known firm of dairymen and merchants of McLaury Bros. at Portlandville,and one of the most prominent residents of the county,died at his home in that village Wednesday night at 10 o'clock of pneumonia,as mentioned briefly in The Star of yesterday.
Charles Dayton McLaury was born on Betty's Brook in the town of Kortright,Delaware county,Sept.7,1852,and was the oldest child of John H. and Elvira Eunice Dayton McLaury. When 13 years of age he removed with his parents to the town of Milford,his parents residing on what was then known as the Clark farm,but now known as River Meadow farm No.8,forming one of the numerous farms now owned and operated by the firm of McLaury Bros.
Mr.McLaury was united in marriage on Feb 19,1877,with Miss Alta Z.Westcott. Their first home was in Milford village,where their only son,Dorr Westcott McLaury, was born. About 1880 they removed to Portlandville to reside,he having previously entered business there. Soon after locating at Portlandville,the subject of this sketch,united with his brother,Washington D. McLaury, in the formation of the firm of McLaury Bros. The firm has gradually extended its operations until it owns and operates much of the land on the west bank of the Susquehanna river between Portlandville and Milford and has one of the largest dairies in the county. In former years they were quite extensively engaged in breeding thoroughbred cattle and their herds were frequently exhibited at some of the largest agricultural fairs in this and neighboring states. More recently they have confined their efforts more particularly to the production of milk,retaining however always choice cattle. Both brothers have given of themselves without stint to the upbuilding of the business and the measure of success that thy have attained evidences that their efforts have been abundantly rewarded.
At the age of 15 years Mr. McLaury united with the Methodist Episcopal church and for 54 years he has been a faithful servant of the church at Portlandville. At the time of his death,he was both trustee and steward of that church and very influential in all its counsels. Not only was he interested in the local church,but he saw opportunity for service in the large and wider denominational program,for which he subscribed whole-heartedly and freely.
The deceased is survived by the wife,one son,Dorr McLaury,prominent in state agricultural affairs for years,now in charge of the bureau of animal industry of the state department of Farm and Markets at Albany;three grandchildren,Doris,Loralee and Jean McLaury;also one sister,Mrs.Alice Chase,and the brother so long associated with him,W.R.McLaury.
The funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock,his pastor,Rev.George G. Summerson,will be in charge and the burial will be in the village cemetery at Portlandville.
Mr.McLaury will be greatly missed in the village and in the church, where he was so active and after all these many years of association with the life and the community his place will not be easily filled. His many friends will extend their heartfelt sympathy to the family in this time of bereavement.
