McCleary, Alexander J.
Company C
Alexander J. McCleary, of Company C, for many years connected with the newspaper press of this city, is reported to be missing. He was about 22 years of age, and a member of the thirty-fifth graduating class of the Central High School. Mr. McCleary figured in the advance upon Lewinsville, some three weeks ago, when Owen's and Baxter's regiments fired upon the California regiment. He returned to the city immediately afterward, and gave to the press the first clear account of this battle. At the same time he was married, and his capture and marriage were, singularly enough, reported on the same day. His father is a Common Councilman.
