Mary Wade McClellan

This is where some of the family history will become a little difficult to follow, gather, and maintain. When Mary Wade McClellan arrived into the world in Denison, Iowa in 1894, the family had moved from Nebraska to this location. The McClellan family would travel across the Dakotas and southern Canadian Prairies. Upon becoming of age, she would marry Alexander Bradford Steuart in July 1915 in Saltcoats, Saskatchewan.

After a few different research methods, I found that Mary Wade McClellan and Alexander Steuart would have six children. Most of her children married, but didn’t have children of their own. Here is their family tree to show this.

They would have two more children, but they died during childbirth. Mary Wade McClellan died at an early age in 1929. The reason is that when she was giving birth to their last child, their sixth, she died along with the baby.

Their first son, Jim, married Alberta Mabel Armstrong (1920-1988) in November 1938. They lived in Hussar, Alberta. At the time of their marriage, Hussar was a small town that was created by the Canadian Pacific Railroad.

Their third child, or second daughter, married in 1937 to Andrew Paton. They would have two children, and both of them had their own children. It is not known if their descendants continue to be alive and pass on the McClellan-Steuart name into the 21st century.
