Francine COLEBANK is one name I remember from the times I went to the Auxillary with Mother. She had a son who was an expert trumpet player in the Point Marion High School band. Anther member that we visited was Billie BERG’s mother. Billie taught my Sunday School class. She gave me a brown chinchilla coat one winter. Later, she moved to Philadelphia to get married. (Molly CAMPBELL taught mine says younger sister)
And of course, there were many visits to Bundy and John MCCLAIN. She had a nameplate on her front door that read, ‘Hemstiching.’ She was also pretty deaf. She was the one who handed out the red poppies for kids to deliver for Armistice Day.
The McClain’s gave us magazines such as McCalls, Better Homes and Gardens, etc. I read them from cover to cover and tried to make exotic flower gardens.
John McCLAIN worked at McCLAIN Sand Co., (probably owned it) and he was Sunday school superintendent at the 1st Disciples Christian Church.

No, John McClain did not own McClain Sand Co. It was owned by the Bowers family. It was started by the McClain Brothers years before and the Bowers married into the family and eventually they owned and ran the company.
