Born in Ross County, Ohio, September 4, 1827, and in 1836, when a small boy, came to Iowa with his parents. The summer was passed at Burlington, after which they removed to Canton, Illinois, where they remained for ten years. In the fall of 1846 they became residents of Polk county, Iowa, where they spent about a decade. Thomas C. McCall accompanied his parents on their various removals and while living in Polk County was married, his first union being with Miss Garret. He then located at Des Moines and afterward at Sioux City and Council Bluffs, where he was engaged in the land business. In 1858 he came to Nevada, where he resided until his death, and through much of the period of his residence here he carried on a real-estate business. He was reared in the faith of the Whig party and upon the organization of the Republican Party joined its ranks, giving to it earnest and stalwart support. He became a recognized leader in political circles in Story County and was a member of the ninth general assembly, also of the nineteenth and twentieth assemblies and was a member of the state senate, representing Boone and Story counties at the time of his death. At one time he was a member of the state central committee and did everything in his power to further the interests of the Republican Party. He was for many years a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and for a long period was an elder in the Presbyterian Church.
