Adelle McClelland was my father’s Aunt Della, grandma’s sister, and when I was born my parents and I lived in an apartment on the second floor of the old Harlansburg Inn which was directly across the New Castle Road from McClelland’s Funeral Home. On the corner of the New Castle road and Highway 19 going toward Plain Grove, there was a small zoo and they had a bear and some large cats. I was very small when we moved from there but I remember begging to go to see the bear. I could see it from the upstairs window where we lived. My Brown family are from Harlansburg, Plain Grove and Slippery Rock. They were some of the earliest settlers in the area.
