CLARE D. FINEGAN

  Word has been received here by friends of the family of the death of Clare D. 
Finegan, 56, who passed away on Monday at the family home, 891 Kenmore Boulevard, 
Akron, Ohio, where he had resided for the past 36 years.
  Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Ethel Finegan; a daughter, Vaun E. Finegan; a son, 
Glen E. Finegan, and three brothers, Robert E. and Earl A. Finegan, both of 
Akron, Ohio, and Frank H. Finegan, of Barberton, Ohio.  He was a brother-in-law 
of Mrs. Hannah Finegan, Clay Street, Meyersdale, and uncle to Councilman Harry 
Finegan, manager of the Acme Market, Meyersdale.
  His father, Amos E. Finegan, who came here from Cumberland, Md., in the early 
70's, and his mother, Mrs. Emma Suter Finegan, foster daughter of the late

Church of the Brethren, will be remembered by the older residents of the
