Floyd's History of Northumberland County, PA 1911: Clarence G. Voris was reared in Danville and there received his early education, attending the public schools and the academy. He then entered Lafayette College, from which he was graduated in 1872, after which he read law with Silas M. Clark, who later served on the Supreme court bench. He furthered his preparation for the law at the Law School of Columbia University, New York City, and was admitted to the bar in Indiana county, this State, in the spring of 1876. In 1877 he opened an office at Sunbury, this county, was admitted to the bar of Northumberland county Oct. 3, 1877, and continued to practice at his original location until Jan. 1, 1887, when he removed to Milton.
At the new location he formed a partnership with Col. John McCleery, under the firm name of McCleery & Voris, and the combination proved very effective, the firm receiving a large share of the best legal work in this section. The Milton Trust & Safe Deposit Company was among their patrons, that institution retaining their services for many years.
Mr. Voris continued in successful and lucrative practice until his death, which occurred at Philadelphia July 2, 1909. He is buried at Danville. In religious connection he was a Presbyterian. He was a Republican on political questions.
On March 28, 1888, Mr. Voris married Mary G. Bruner, daughter of Capt. Charles J. Bruner, late of Sunbury, a great-grandson of the noted Capt. John Brady. Two sons were born to Mr. and Mrs. Voris: Clarence Archibald, who is attending Haverford College, Haverford, Pa., and Charles William B., who is still a pupil in the public school. Mrs. Voris continues to make her home in Milton. Like her husband she is a member of the Presbyterian Church.
