McCLELLAN, E.W. - We regret to announce the death of our old friend Mr. E.W. McClellan, who died at his home at Boonsboro, this county, on last Saturday. "Uncle White" was one of Washington county's best and most highly respected citizens and his loss will be keenly felt. A more extended notice will appear next week.

Last week we noticed briefly the death of our old and highly respected citizen, Mr. E.W. McClennan of Boonsboro. The deceased was born a little more than seventy-one years ago near Campbell's Station, Knox county, E. Tenn. While yet in his youth his father, Col. John McClellan, removed with his family to Morgan county, Alabama and from there in 1830 to Cane Hill in this county. It will thus be seen that "Uncle White," as he was familiarly called, had been a citizen of this county, and of the same community, for fifty-two years, in which time he established a reputation for high-toned integrity and generous hospitality that will long survive him. He was extensively known through Northwest Arkansas and in the Indian Territory. A large-hearted, genial gentleman of fine social qualities and kindly impulses; he counted his friends by the thousands. Enemies, he had none. The deceased had been a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for a number of years and contributed to its support with a generous and unstinted liberality; dying in full fellowship and standing in the church of his choice. For the last four or five years he had been slowly yet surely failing in health but especially for the last two years had he been an invalid and a great portion of the time a helpless one. Death came not unexpectedly, yet the blow was heavily felt. His place will be hard to fill and he will be sadly missed, especially where he has been so long and favorably known. He had been a Mason for a long time and his obsequies were duly attended by the fraternity. We esteemed him in life and we mourn him in death but we trust he has entered into eternal rest. We tender our sympathy and condolence to the bereaved widow and the sons and daughters of our lamented friend.
