LADY SENATOR'S FATHER
LIVED AT COAL RUN

John l.. Pyle, father of Miss
Gladys Pyle, who was elected last
month to fill an unexpired term in
the United States senate, at one time
resided at Coal Run, Washington
county. 1t was back in the 188O's
and he was young unmarried at
torney. His father thinking it too
densely populated about Coal Run,
set out for the wide open prairies
of Dakota. There Attorney Pyle mar
ried and there was born Senator
Pyle, who holds the distinction Of
being the first Republican woman to
be elected to the United States sen
ate. She was also the first woman
to be elected to the South Dakota
legislature; first to be reelected to
that post; first to run for governor
there and first to be appointed to a
major executive post( head of the
securities division). She also served
two terms as secretary of state.
Her unexpired term as senator only
runs to Jan. g. Her father has
served as attorney. general Of South
Dakota.
Senator Pyle is 48 years Of age.
and never married. Her sister, Mrs.
Harold E. Andrews is head Of the
English department at Ashland col
lege, this state.

MRS. JOHN MCCALL, AGED so,
IN STUDENTS

The following is taken from the
GAINESVILLE Tmes-Signal:
Farther back than she can re-
member, Mrs. John Mccall, 80 year
old resident of New Concord, read
poem called "Persimmons" in her
favorite magazine, st. Nicholas. She
learned 1t and from time to time
for the first time in many years, she
gave it again and with all her old
dynamic vitality and skill in SYM
pathetic Interpretation she captured
a new audience with the sad story
of little colored boy who was
christened "Persimmons."
Mrs. Mccall, who with her hus.
band celebrated her 62nd wedding
anniversary recently, is one of New
Concord's most interesting person
alities. A conversation with her
brings to light many experiences
rich with local and historical flavor.
From her old home on the Rice
farm below New Concord she
brings anecdotes that smack Of rob-
bers' raids and slavery and the ear
ly days Of Muskingum college, and
the small town church which broke
i'll many Of Muskingum's theological
students. Twenty years ago, tired
Of the work on the farm, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mccall drove up to New Con-
cord in an old battered Ford, to look
for a house here. The result was a
trade. They moved into their pres
ent home at 153 Montgomery boul-
evard and it's former residents went
to the Mccall farm.
Next to good natured bantering
with her husband, Mrs. Mccall likes
to talk about her three children,
aged 81, SO and SO respectively. She
proudly counts off on her fingers
seven grandchildren and six great
grandchildren. One of her favorite
topics is the speech work done by
her daughter, who graduated from
Muskingum in 'O9. II used to cut
out poems for her to say, and piece
things together from sermons" she
said. The daughter got her first
coaching from her mother who
"could teach other people better
than do it herself
No longing for the ''good old
days, clouds this interesting old
lady's memories Of the past. With
her customary vigor, she is planning
to take in Muskingum students to
board at her home in the near fu~
ture for the college has been one of
her main interests even before her
husband helped haul cement for the
dormitory 20 years ago.
Mrs. McCall's maiden name was
Fannie Cowan, sister of the late A.
F.. Cowan, who was the father of
Messrs. j. e. and H. L. Cowan Of
the twin cities. Mr. and Mrs. Mccall
formerly resided in Deerfield town
ship. The picture of Mrs. Mccall
also appears with the article.
