CHARLES R. McCAIN.

   In his chosen field of endeavor, Mr. Charles R. McCain, whose briefly
outlined history sets forth a sufficient number of the important points of his
life, has achieved a creditable record in one of the most useful vocations to
the greatest number of human beings. His sterling character and his never-ending
supply of courtesy have wielded their influence towards the ultimate success of
his life work, giving a promising outlook to his already bright career.

   Charles R. McCain, farmer, Logansport, Carroll county, was born on January 7,
1886, on the farm where he now lives and is a son of Robert B. and Ella
(Williams) McCain. He grew to manhood on his father's farm and obtained his
education at the public schools of Logansport, Indiana, after which he entered a
commercial school. Choosing the vocation of an agricultural life, he has become
eminently prosperous and is now managing the fine farm of his father, consisting
of two hundred and sixty-seven acres of land, all in a fine state of
cultivation. Politically, Mr. McCain is a Republican, while his religious
membership is with the Lutheran church.
