Paul Morrow Maclean is a son of Matthew and Nancy (Logan) Maclean, who are now residing on a farm near Columbus City, Louisa County, this State. He was born December 10, 1862, in the State of Pennsylvania, and received a good education, including one year’s study at Oberlin College in Ohio. He then entered the profession of journalism, which he followed for three years at Columbus Junction, Iowa, and for the last three years at Carroll. He bought the Carroll Herald of E. R.

Hungerford, who is still associated with him in its management. Mr. Maclean is a member of the Masonic order and of the Knights of Pythias, and is politically a Republican.
