Frank H. MCCABE, the eldest child of John C. MCCABE, above mentioned, biographically, was born in Magnolia township, Harrison county, Iowa, April 17, 1870, and was educated at the public schools of this county. He remained on his father's farm until 1889 and then for a few months was employed in the shops at Missouri Valley, but in December, 1889, moved to Logan and entered The Observer office where he learned the printer's trade in all of its branches. Later he became editorially connected with the paper, under his father, and upon the latter's death in 1911 succeeded to the business and is still successfully conducting the paper.

On September 28, 1897, Mr. MCCABE was married to Maude HEDGES, daughter of Rev. Thornton K. HEDGEs, at one time a Presbyterian minister of Logan, Iowa. The MCCABEs are Presbyterians and Mr. MCCABE is identified with the Masons and Modern Woodmen of America. As was his father, the present editor of The Logan Observer is a Republican. He was postmaster at Logan from January 10, 1898, to March 1, 1906. Many changes were made in the various departments of this office during his term and all the affairs of the office were conducted on strict business principles.
