The unexpected news received here Sunday of the death of James McClamroch, which took place at San Francisco, California, at 10:25 (western time) Saturday night was a distinct shock to the family, relatives and friends in this city. Mr. McClamroch's death is thought to have been due to double pneumonia, though its rumored that he was stricken with paralysis....
James McClamroch, in company with his brother, Charles, left here two weeks ago to look after some gold mining property that they owned in Nevada and after finishing their business there they went on to the coast on a pleasure trip. He fell ill shortly after reaching San Francisco and no doubt grew rapidly worse as his death was soon announced.
The deceased, a son of the late Robert McClamroch, was born in Kirklin township, one mile west of Kirklin, October 29, 1859, His early life was spent upon the farm, he attending the township schools and later entered the schools of this city from which he graduated and then took a course at Purdue University, he being a graduate of that college also. His father became interested in the Farmers' Bank of this city in 1874, and after his graduation from Purdue James McClamroch took a position in the bank and since that time had been identified with the institution, holding the position of cashier at the time of his death, a place he had filled with honor and distinction for some years.
On March 1st, 1893, Mr. McClamroch was united in marriage to Miss Ivy M. Spencer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Spencer, of this city, the wedding taking place at the home of the bride. The widow and three children, John, aged twelve, Robert, aged seven, and James, aged four are left to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent husband and father. Mr. McClamroch's home life was ideal, and his greatest happiness was found in the company of his wife and children. Surrounded by all the luxuries and conveniences of life, with a handsome home, a most devoted wife, and interesting children, it seems hard that he should be called at the very threshold of life when the future was so full of promise and held so much for him and those he loved. Besides the wife and children, he is survived by two brothers, Charles and Abraham, both of this county, and three sisters, Mrs. Mary Smith, wife of Charles Smith, Mrs. Nancy McClamroch, wife of Hal McClamroch, and Mrs. Grace Lucas, wife of James Lucas, all of whom reside in the county. His parents are dead....
Mr. McClamroch was interested in numerous enterprises in this and other cities, as well as throughout this and other states. He was a large holder of stock in the Farmers' Bank and was also interested in the Frankfort Brass Works, the water works, the Wallace Manufacturing company, the Clinton Hotel company, the telephone company, the Union Title and Guaranty company, the W. M. Shafor & Co.'s wholesale house, oil lands near Muncie, and owned considerable city property and a large amount of Clinton county land. He also had an interest in stave factories at Logansport and Anderson, owned rice lands in Texas and gold mining stock in Nevada. He carried a large amount of life insurance, estimated by some at $100,000....
The remains will be brought to this city for the funeral and interment, the body being expected to reach here Wednesday night or Thursday. The funeral party will be met at Chicago by Charles Miller and other relatives and a number of the citizens will also go to Chicago and be members of the party escorting the remains home.
