to trade. At the age of 17 he went to Peru, Ind., where he found employment in a store of general merchandise; his education being limited to that obtained in a country school, attended at irregular intervals, he set himself diligently to work to improve his mind, occupying such time as he could catch from busi- ness hours, the time usually being from ten o'clock, after the store was closed, until twelve o'clock at night, and from five to seven o'clock in the morning, his employer prohibiting any books about the store during business hours ; one year was spent in this way, at the close of which he left the store to take pri- vate instruction under his brother, Rev. A. Craig McClelland, Pastor of the Pres- byterian Church of Peru ; here he re- mained for about six months, studying hard and making some progress in Latin and other branches; at the end of six months, the little money he had saved while in the store being exhausted, he returned to the same store, where he re- mained another year, saving all his earn- ings and studying as before ; at the end of the year he returned to Kittanning, Penn., where he lived with his brother William, and for a time received private instruction from the Rev. J. N. Dick, Pastor of the U. P. Church of that city ; he also attended two sessions at the Kittanning Academy ; in 1852, he com- menced the study of medicine with Dr. Walter A. Burleigh, in Kittanning, and graduated at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in the Spring of 1855; after practicing for a time in partnership with his preceptor, he returned to Peru, Ind., where he engaged in the practice of his profession, in which he was very successful ; his health being much im- paired by frequent attacks of ague, and being moved by a spirit of adventure, as well as a hope of bettering both his health and fortune, he, in company with two friends, with a four-horse team and six months' provisions, joined the army of " pilgrims " for the then fabled re- gions of Pike's Peak ; arriving at Den- ver July 4, he remained in the vicinity until Octber, 1860, when he returned to the States and settled down in the prac- tice of his profession in Cedar Rapids, in April 1861. In August, 1864, he was
commissioned Assistant Surgeon of the 16th Iowa V. I., by Gov. Kirkwood, and joined the regiment near Black River Bridge, Miss .; he remained with his reg- iment one year, being with Sherman in his march to the sea as far as Atlanta, Ga., where failing health compelled him to resign and return home. During the time he was in the army he corresponded for the Cedar Valley Times, writing a series of racy letters descriptive of every- day army life. Owing to physical pros- tration contracted in the army, he was unable to successfully follow his profes- sion, and the office of the Cedar Valley Times having been purchased by Ayers Bros. & Dawley, practical printers, he accepted the position of editor for a year, with the hope that at the end of that time his health would be so good as to warrant his again following his profes- sion ; there being but little change in this respect at the end of the year, and his year's experience creating a desire to continue in the newspaper business, he added to his duties as editor those of financial manager, which position he has continued to fill ever since. Various changes in proprietorship have taken place since the subject of this sketch be- came connected with the paper, his first proprietary interest being one-third, un- der the firni name of Ayers Bros. & Co., and finally a half interest, with L. M. Ayers, under the firm name of Ayers & McClelland. The name of the paper was changed from the Cedar Vulley Times to the Cedar Rapids Times in the year 1868. The career of the Times under the editorial management of Dr. McClelland has been eminently prosper- ous ; it has become one of the leading and strongest political weekly papers of the State ; the Doctor being a man of strong convictions of right, with a plain, practical, pungent way of putting his ideas before the public, he has gained for himself and the Times a wide and important influence ; strictly conscien- tious in all that pertains to his influence with the public, he has, during his edi- torial career, built up a reputation for political honesty and moral integrity which gives his opinions and teachings a value possessed by too few journalists of the day. The life of the subject of

this sketch has not been marked by any grand achievements or startling episodes ; on the contrary, it has passed along quietly and unostentatiously ; and what- ever of success may have attended his labors as a journalist or in a financial point of view, is due more to hard work, constant care and untiring application than to natural genius or the so-called favors of fortune.
