Newspaper Obituary - Monday, May 23, 1949 Oswego Palladium Times - Oswego, New York - Jack Harris McLean, 52, veteran of World War I and formerly an employee of the Diamond Match Co., chemical department, Oswego, was found dead in bed at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning in the home he shared with his father at Ramona Beach town of Richland. A physician called said he had been dead for several hours. He had been about his home as usual Saturday and had been in Pulaski with this father and had retired soon after returning home. He customarily spelt late Sundays and when his father called and received no reply, thought little of it until he went to call his son about 10:30 o'clock and could not arouse him. Mrs. Phelps, a neighbor from Syracuse in an adjoining cottage was called and she summoned a physician and notified District Attorney James Feeney, Mexico, who investigated and concluded death due to natural causes. He was born in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, May 6, 1897, and was a son of Fred and the late Edna Jane Harris McLean. The family moved from the Wisconsin homestead settled by the father of Fred McLean, who had emigrated from Niagara county years before to Minnesota in 1908, and in 1914 moved to Pulaski, later purchasing the former 225-acre Douglas farm opposite the Daysville cemetery on the Scenic highway, which they conducted for many years as a dairy farm. The farm was sold last year and the McLean's moved to the Ramona Beach cottage they had owned for many years. Mrs. McLean, mother of the deceased, was found dead by her husband and son about 10 years ago at a card table where she had been playing solitaire awaiting their return from Pulaski. The McLean's, father and son, were widely known among cottagers on shores of Mexico Bay, Jack McLean being a carpenter and both being expert in plumbing and other trades essential in cottage maintenance. Jack McLean served in World War I and was a member of Robert Edwards Post, American Legion, Pulaski, and some years ago was a patient in the Bath Veterans Facility from an ailment, a result of military service. He was employed by the Diamond Match Co. until three years ago when he took employment on construction work in Fulton. His brother-in-law, Lewis Sherman of Richland, is in charge of repaid and construction work in the Diamond Match Co. plant. He is survived by his father; three sisters, Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Edward Gutches, Split Rock, New York, and Mrs. Fae Smith, Portland, Oregon, where she conducts a jewelry shop and gift center. Funeral services will be conducted at the Sherman home on the Scenic highway, five miles east of Mexico, by the Rev. Daniel W. Fowler of Pulaski Congregational church at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and interment will be made in Daysville cemetery, where military honors will be rendered by a firing squad and bugler from Edwards Post, American Legion.
