McAlavey, McAlavy, McLavey
surname & burials
Fayette County Iowa
Numerous spelling variations exist: McAlavey, McAlavery,
McAlavay, McAlary, McLavy, McLavey, McLavaery.
...Mill
Grove Cemetery, lost in section 3 of Fairfield.Twp,
would be located along Brush Creek surrounded by Wm. McAlavey
farmland, thus became referenced also as McAlavey Cemetery.
...There are no suspected McAlavey/McLavey burials to date
(Oct2013/bz) at Mill Grove.
...Likely most of the few burials at Mill Grove were before the
McAlavey family moved to the area in late 1854. The Mill Grove
neighborhood has first settlers about 1850.

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.
