From the Lodi Sentinel, 19 Oct 1918:
The funeral of A. A. McClelland, which was held from the family home at Woodbridge yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, was marked by one of the largest attendances of any funeral held in that section. Friends gathered from far and wide to pay their last respects to the man who had lived here for so many years and who stood so high in the estimation of all who knew him.
There were many beautiful flowers.
The services were very impressive. Rev. R. West officiated at the house and the Masons took charge of the services at the grave. Past Master C. C. Woodworth read the burial service.
A male quartet composed of Ernest West, Lawrence West, W. E. Shipman and J. W. Shattuck rendered beautiful sacred selections. The Masons led the procession from the house to the Woodbridge cemetery, where interment was made.
The pall bearers were Fred and Frank Perrott, Oliver Newman, F. B. Mills, Elbert Covell and C. L. Newton.
