Biographical
note

T. C. McCall
Thomas Clifton McCall was born on 4 September 1827 in Ross County,
Ohio. In 1836, he moved with his father to a farm in Fulton County,
Illinois. He came to Polk County, Iowa, in 1846. There he taught
school for a time before entering the mercantile business, first in
partnership with A. Y. Hull in Lafayette and later as the pioneer
merchant in Rising Sun. In 1855, he moved into the real estate
business in Des Moines and later continued as a land agent in the
town of Nevada in Story County, Iowa. During the Civil War, he
served as quartermaster of the 32nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry,
1862-1864, prior to being promoted to Assistant Quartermaster of
Volunteers, a capacity in which he served 1864-1865.
McCall was a leader in Story County Republican circles. He was a
state legislator in the 9th (1862), 19th (1882), and 20th (1884)
general assemblies; he also served as a state senator in the 24th
general assembly (1892). He was also a member of the State Central
Committee which attempted to further the interests of the Republican
Party.
T. C. McCall married Sarah A. Garrett (d. 1855) in 1849. They had a
son, John, who practiced law briefly in Nevada and later was a
prominent attorney in Des Moines. T. C. McCall remarried in 1858;
his second wife was Mary A. Boynton (d. 1875). Three of their
children survived to adulthood: Minnie Ellen, Fred C., and Edward M.
Minnie McCall married A. E. Cronenwett and moved to Monrovia,
California, where they ran a hotel. Fred C. McCall continued his
father's real estate business (see below for more information).
Edward M. McCall was an attorney in Nevada. T. C. McCall's third
wife was Clara Kennedy (1842-1923); their only son died at age five.
T. C. McCall died on 11 August 1892.
Fred C. McCall
Fred C. McCall was born on 7 October 1868. He entered Iowa State
College (University) in 1884 but did not graduate. By 1889 he was
working in the real estate business with his father. In 1902, he was
appointed postmaster in Nevada, but continued in the financial
circles of the area.
During World War I, Fred McCall was a member of the American
Protective League, an ultra-national volunteer organization under
the United States Justice Department, whose purpose was to discover
United States residents suspected of espionage or sabotage.
Fred C. McCall married Alice Klove in 1890. She died in 1891. In
1895, he married Edith V. Ferner of Nevada. They had two children:
Thomas Clifton and Elva Hazel.
Additional information on the McCall family may be found in History
of Story County, Iowa: A Record of Settlement, Organization,
Progress and Achievement by W. O. Payne (Chicago: The S. J. Clarke
Publishing Co., 1911) and in Biographical and Historical Memoirs of
Story County, Iowa... (Chicago: The Goodspeed Pub. Co., 1890).

This series
contains family correspondence, business correspondence of T. C.
McCall and Fred C. McCall, and correspondence with political
contacts. The files are arranged by generation, beginning with T.
C. McCall followed by his second and third wives, Mary A. B. McCall
and Clara McCall, then his children and grandchildren. Members of
the Ferner and Jones family (relations of Edith Ferner McCall) and
David J. Vinje (Story County attorney and Edward M. McCall's law
partner) follow the McCall family. Miscellaneous and unidentified
correspondents are filed at the end.
Of particular
interest is the business correspondence documenting T. C. McCall's
land agent business dealing with lands in Iowa and Nebraska. Of
interest in the family correspondence are letters between T. C.
McCall and his wife Mary A. B. McCall and son John while T. C.
McCall was serving in the state legislature in 1862. The collection
also contains letters between John A. McCall and his parents while
he was a student at the University of Iowa. Political
correspondence includes letters concerning the Republican
presidential campaign in 1860, candidates for Governor in 1867, and
a set of letters from J. W. Watts in 1883 concerning T. C. McCall's
political potential.
Although T. C.
McCall's correspondence dating from his service in the Union Army
during the Civil War (1862-1865) is located in Series 4, Civil War
Documents, additional war-related correspondence may be found in
this series. This correspondence includes T. C. McCall's
correspondence prior to his enlistment in the army, Mary A. B.
McCall's correspondence during the war years, and a 24 June 1861
letter to Rev. Samuel A. Jones discussing the Wheeling Convention
and war sentiments in Virginia. |

The series contains
records from the McCall family's many business ventures. T. C.
McCall's activities as a merchant are documented by records from the
A.Y. Hull & Co. and McCall and Griggs general stores. Land records
include land warrants and military land bounties, land grant
certificates, mortgages, warranty deeds, leases, chattel mortgages,
title abstracts, and tax records. These land records include
transactions for which T. C. McCall or Fred McCall acted as an agent
for property owners as well as records relating to property owned by
the McCalls.
Of special interest
is material related to efforts to bring a railroad to Nevada, Iowa,
in the late 1850s. The series also includes pages from the day book
of two of the first physicians in Nevada, Doctors V. V. Adamson and
J. W. Davidson. T. C. McCall's activities as an insurance agent are
documented by certificates and other documents from various
insurance companies; the series also contains insurance policy
certificates issued to members of the McCall family. Other
documents include Nevada township clerk receipts and express company
receipts (including American Express Co.).
The files are
arranged alphabetically. |
