According to McClellan’s service records, he worked as a laborer before the conflict. In February 1864 McClellan joined Company F of the 32nd USCT in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. McClellan was sent to a hospital in early October 1864 and in late May 1865 was discharged from military service in Beaufort, South Carolina “on account of physical disability.” (By Don Sailer)
