Mrs. Aurora McClellan, aged 82 years, a recognized leader among the women of Alabama, passed away at her Athens home at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon after an illness of several weeks.
Funeral services were held this afternoon at two o'clock from the old Pryor home where the deceased had lived most of her life. The deceased was perhaps one of the best known women of the state, having been chosen to lead the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was prominent in other state activities and numbered her friends over the entire section of North Alabama.
Mrs. McClellan was a daughter of the late Senator Luke Pryor and was the mother of Judge Thomas C. McClellan, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, now residing in Birmingham.
She is survived by two children, Mrs. R. H. Walker of Athens and Judge Thomas C. McClellan; two sisters, Memory Peebles and Miss Snow Pryor, both of Athens.
While her death has drawn a pall of sorrow around the hearts of hundreds of North Alabama and state acquaintances, yet it is realized that Mrs. McClellan is but ending a long life of service to those whom she gathered about her, she has concluded a life's span of worth and there is consolation to those who loved her in the recognition over the state that she has fulfilled a mission.
Daughter of Luke Pryor and Isabella Virginia Harris Pryor.
She married Robert Anderson McClellan on February 7, 1872 in Athens, Limestone Co, Alabama.
Children:
Thomas Cowan McClellan
Aurora Anderson McClellan
Memory Pryor McClellan Walker
Infant Son McClellan (no dates)
