There was another Grover Cleveland McClurg in Rowan Co. just one year older, born 12 July 1884, son of Absalom McClurg and Martha Jane Pettit, so be careful not to get them confused.

His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918 in West Liberty, Ky, states Grover Cleveland McClurg, age 33, born 10 Mar 1885, residence Blaze, Morgan Co., Ky, farmer, nearest relative Mollie McClurg, medium height, medium build, blue eyes, dark hair, physical disqualification due to being consumptive invalid.

I cannot find him in the Kentucky death records. Pauline Chalfin’s online family tree has his year of death as 1918, which may be from his gravestone. If so, he must have died shortly after registering for the draft, presumably from the tuberculosis reported on his draft registration.

Rowan Co. marriage book 7, p. 81 records marriage on 6 Jan 1910 of G. C. McClurg, 24, s/o Frank & Manda McClurg, to Mollie Pettit, 18, d/o James Pettit & Lizzie Pelfrey, at Bevley Pelfrey's by Presley Manier, witnesses W. A. Donohew and Bevley Pelfrey.

Most of my information on this family (other than census notes) is from their granddaughter, Pauline Hyatt Chalfant, a daughter of Lizzie Olive McClurg and Charles Hyatt. She has a family tree posted on Ancestry.com with many photographs and documents.

1910 census of Morgan Co., Ky, Panthers Branch precinct, enumerated 19 April, lists on p. 4A as family #59/60:
McClurg, Cleve, 24, second marriage; Mollie, wife, 19, first marriage, married 1 year, no children; John, brother, 20. All born Ky Ky Ky.

This was really Cleve’s third marriage, not his second. His son by his second marriage to Ada Crose was living next door with Ada’s parents, and his two daughters from his first marriage to Nora Horner were living in Rowan Co. with his father and his father’s wife.

1920 census of Morgan Co., Ky, Panthers Branch precinct, enumerated 20 Jan, lists on p. 10A as family #173/179:
