MILTON S. McCLINTICK, Supervisor of Crane Creek Township, Mason County, and the owner of property on section 24, was born in Tazewell County, Ill., May 16, 1863. His father George S., was a native of Virginia, and thence was brought to Illinois by his parents at the age of two years, growing to manhood in Tazewell County. Grandfather Robert McClintick, a native of the Old Dominion, came to Illinois about 1836, and became one of the early settlers of Tazewell County. Our subject's mother, Sarah J., was born in Ohio, but was reared in Missouri and Illinois. She died at the age of about fifty years. Our subject is the younger of two children comprising the family of George S. McClintick. He came to Mason County at the age of five years, and was afterward a student in the schools of the home locality. In the fall of 1884, he settled on the place where he now resides. September 21, 1887, he married Miss Sophia E. Berger, a native of Mason County, Ill., and a daughter of William and Mary Berger. They are the parents of three children, Bessie L., Clyde and Seth. The farm occupied and operated by Mr. McClintick consists of one hundred and forty acres of valuable land, upon which have been placed suitable improvements. In the public affairs of the county he takes an intelligent interest, and gives his support to all measures for the benefit of the people. In 1893, he was elected upon the Republican ticket to the office of Township Supervisor, and he has since served acceptably in that office. Socially he affiliates with the Knights of Pythias, belonging to Lodge No. 213, at Mason City. |
