McLain surname: The following McLain burials occurred in the Reardan Cemetery: Jeptha and his wife Jane McLain; Charles McLain; Loyd and his wife Gladys McLain; and David Carol McLain, son of Charles and Florence McLain.

McLain, J T; {no dates; Co. H 15^th KS Cavalry; 1822-1902.} “Thos McLain, one of the first settlers in this country, who left Reardan in 1896 for Alberta, BC, thence removing to Montana, arrived in town last Monday evening, accompanied by his children and his aged father, John McLain. Mr McLain, Jr, lost his wife about two weeks ago. The family expect to return to Reardan permanently. Their arrival caused considerable surprise and a lot of personal reminiscences of the ‘early days’ with the old timers.” (LCT: 12-10-1901) “MacLane, John. Dated: June 13, 1902; Warrant #149 for $35.
