                           Obituary
McLean
—Isaac McLean was born at Montagu River, Prince Edward Island, Canada, March 25, 1875, of Scotch parents, Murdoch McLean and Catherine McDonald McLean. He came as a small boy with his parents, older brothers and sisters to a farm near Aurora, Nebr. A year later the family moved to western Kans., but the experiment in dry farming did not succeed, so back to this part of the state they came, to remain through the years. For a time the family lived in White Cloud and Isaac often spoke of the good times he had as a young boy on the Missouri river. He grew to manhood in Brown county on what was then known as the "Hewitt Place." February 6, 1900, he was married to Sarah Morgan. In 1910 he and his family moved to a new home which he had built on the farm where his wife's parents, Sarah and Lewis Morgan, had settled when they came from Wales. In 1917 his wife died. He had always been a most kind and considerate husband, but now he was faced with rearing their only child, Nora Belle. He was a generous and devoted parent, serving as both father and mother, and creating a deep bond of love and affection which lasted through the years. When his daughter was married to Thoralf M. Sylten in 1933, the couple came to make their home with Mr. McLean, making the latter part of his life less lonely. One of his greatest pleasures was the companionship of his granddaughter, Sara Kathryn, in whom he took much pride. As a young man he became a member of the old Asbury Methodist church, later joining the Bethel Baptist church where he was a loyal member until it was disbanded. For many years he served Padonia township as trustee, looking forward to reviving old friendships and making new acquaintances as he took the yearly assessment. One of his keenest interests was the Masonic lodge where he helped with the work over a long period of years. In 1922 he was Master of the Blue Lodge and in 1926 he served as commander of the Knights Templar. He was also a member of the Abdallah Shrine. He continued with his lodge work until illness prevented. At the funeral services his body bearers and escort were fellow Knights Templar as was his desire. He died peacefully at his farm home where he had lived for 43 years on the night of August 3, after a long illness. He was a kindly, friendly, unassuming man, but he leaves a place that will long be cherished by his family and friends.
