1878 History of Fayette Co, Iowa

McAlavy, William, farmer in sec 3 of Fairfield twp, P.O. Wadena (in Illyria twp); born in Huntingdon, Penn., March 10, 1818. Married Lamina Coleson, July 8, 1842; she was born in Mercer Co., Penn., in June, 1818; she died Jan. 5, 1861; he came to Fayette Co, Iowa in the fall of 1854, settling on his present farm; he now owns 160 acres. He married his second wife, Elizabeth McCleland, June 23, 1861; she was born in Lawrence Co., Penn., in December, 1816; their children are Ellen, William E., James Fancis, Casandana, Alfred, Lettie A. and Charles. He is a Republican.

McLavey, Wm. E., enlisted Feb. 22, 1864, 9th Iowa, Co. E.

McAlavay, Chas., enlisted Sept. 5, 1861, died Nov. 17, 1862 at St. L. (probably wounded at a battle in Missouri, such as Blue Miles near Liberty, MO, then returned to St. L. hospitals via a steamer on the Missouri River. bz/2002)


Fitch’s 1910 History of Fayette Co, Iowa, page 1210, 1211
(Note: the children listed from the marriage of William’s second wife are really those with his first wife. BZ/2003.)
Each man to his occupation, and may he have that one in which he is contented, can do his work best, and make life comfortable with the monetary rewards. The livery man has a business in some respects peculiar and adapted only to certain temperaments, but which seems to appeal to farmers, judging from the number of those who leave farming to follow this business. The livery business, like all others, has its agreeable and disagreeable sides. The livery man is necessarily more or less of a lover of horses and so the treatment which his horses receive at the hands of some of those who hire them must be disagreeable to him. Very useful he is, yet the traveling man and the young man,, who used to be his best customers, are forsaking him for the automobile garage. To succeed he must possess a knowledge of horses, a knowledge of men, and must be a good manager above all else. Evidently Mr. Charles McAlavey fills all of these requirements.

Charles E. McAlavey was born in Fayette county, Iowa, October 28, 1858, the son of William and Catharine (Coleson) McAlavey, both natives of Pennsylvania who came to Fayette county in 1855 and settled at Mill Grove, where she died in 1859, and he in October 1892, aged seventy-six. They were the parents of eight children of whom six are living. Mr. McAlavey was always a consistent Democrat. Charles E. McAlavey was brought up on the farm and educated in common schools. For some time he farmed, then engaged in the livery business, first at Norton Center, Kansas, then at Republican City, Nebraska, later at Sioux City, Iowa, then at Wadena, back in Fayette County, Iowa, and has been in Clermont, Clermont Twp., for three years. In 1884 Mr. McAlavey married Minnie Lucas a native of Ohio, daughter of John and Ann (Hagel) Lucas (John farmed in sec 10 of Illyria Twp, 3+m N of Wadena and 1+m SE of Illyria village) who came to Fayette County at an early day and here both died. His married life has been pleasant, and has been blessed by the birth of two daughters, Pearl and Cassie. Mr. McAlvey is a stanch Republican. He has won a reputation for the character of the horses and turn-outs which are kept in his stable. He is a man of many good points of character and one who is hailed as a good companion by many citizens of the county and passing travelers.

Do not trust as totally valid any tree/report data.  Often World Connect or Ancestry trees/data were utilized as a foundation upon which to add material gleamed from obits, articles, histories, biographies, stories, burials, censuses and other data collected.  My primary interest is generally the pioneer history and includes linking village and neighborhood surnames together for several of the early generations.  Family connections, locations and other data may have to be speculated in order to continue a complex series of inter-related projects.  My web pages are primarily personal study projects for note keeping, but can also jump start others.  I have a huge number of projects started and rarely return to edit/update material unless interest is rekindled.  Any web pages online are usually linked off the 'Index Page.'  Numerous projects are not put on web pages but are in draft form or in the form of photo albums on the 'Photo Hosting Site.'   I may have material for research use in storage, plus will/can upload other people's material if appropriate.
