C H McClung, Local Merchant, Dies at Auburn
Charles Hugh McClung, 72, for many years a merchant in Warrenton, died suddenly Saturday at his store at Auburn.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Warrenton Presbyterian Church, with interment in the Presbyterian Church cemetery at Greenwich.
Mr McClung was born in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1879. He began work with the Memphis and Charleston Railroad in
Memphis, about 1895, and when this road was absorbed by the Southern Railway he came to Washington and was with
the Southern there until 1917. For several years he was station agent for the Southern at Warrenton and later was agent for the American Express Company.
Mr McClung operated several old-fashioned country stores in Warrenton and for the past few years had had a similar
business at Auburn.

When the building was sold to Walter Chrysler he moved the business to the location on South Fourth Street where it later became Hoffman's Market, when Mr McClung moved to Auburn.
He is survived by a son, Hugh McClung of Tennessee, a daughter, Mrs Edward J Jones of Warrenton, a sister, Mrs
Laura Klare of Memphis, and a number of nieces and nephews.
