William J. McCready received his common school education in Oak Hill district school near the home farm. He attended one year the Savannah Academy in Ohio, a school that both his father and mother attended in their youth and of which an uncle was a trustee for forty years. He was graduated from Lenox College in Iowa in 1895, and from the law department of the University of Michigan in 1900 with the degree of LL. B. He practiced law in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, until 1903, when he became cashier of the Onslow Savings Bank, at Onslow, Iowa, an institution which he helped to reorganize and in which he was a stockholder and director.
The same year [1903] Mr. McCready was married to Miss Mary Copeland, who had been a schoolmate of his at Lenox College. To them were born three children. The two sons, Joseph Robert and William Wick, are in school. The daughter, Marian, the youngest of the family, died at the age of fourteen months.
Mrs. W. J. McCready was graduated from Lenox College and received the degree of Master of Science. She taught in that college for a number of years and was preceptress of Clarke Hall, the ladies' dormitory. She is a member of Chapter D of the P. E. O. sisterhood and is also a member of the Monday Club and takes an active interest in promoting the welfare of the schools of the community, but her chief delight is in the keeping of her home and in the education and training of her two sons.
