  • Notes 
    • MCLEAN, JOHN C. was born in the barracks in the Quebec Citadel on February 3, 1834. His father was in a Highland Regiment, possibly as an officer. His medical education was obtained at the University of Toronto, and at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, graduating in 1863 in both allopathy and homeopathy.

      He initially practised at Jackson, Michigan, although the 1882 Ontario Medical Register located him in Beamsville, Lincoln County.

      He came to Berlin at the beginning of 1891, locating at first on Foundry Street, next door to Mr. Pearce's terrace. He later moved to 105 King Street West, practising homeopathy. After residing in Berlin for 20 years, he died of a heart condition on March 25, 1911. He was survived by his widow, with no children, during his lengthy stay here, apart from one mention that he had recovered from an illness, he appears to have escaped the notice of the local newspapers.
