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. Hastings, January 1, 1884, and at the same time leased him a half interest. In June, 1886, Mr. Hastings retired, and Mr. Maclean sold a half interest in the paper and plant to J. B. 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.~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
