Ottumwa Cemetery's records show the John was born in Indiana to James C. and Mary E. McClung.
It appears that John is listed both on the gravestone for his in-laws and on the gravestone with his wife. I have confirmed with the cemetery office that there is no other John McClung buried in this plot with these same dates.
Following is the obituary for John McClung, which was published in The Ottumwa Courier on December 24, 1906:
