An historical look at a famous ranch January 02 2021
With its registered Holstein cattle, the McCall Ranch became a foundation for the Central Oregon dairy industry
Henry McCall and his young wife, the former Dorothy Lawson, of Boston, Massachusetts, were among the affluent Easterners that came to Central Oregon shortly after the turn of the 20th Century. Henry or Hal, as he was commonly known, was a Harvard graduate and a prominent baseball player during his college days.
He was born on Aug. 29, 1886. His father was the governor of Massachusetts, and Dorothy s father was Thomas Lawson, known as the Copper King. Dorothy was born on Oct. 11, 1888. Thomas Lawson encouraged his young son-in-law to move to Central Oregon and gave land to the couple on Lower Crooked River near present-day O Neil that he had purchased. Hal and Dorothy cleared the land for farming and moved into their new home that was recently completed in 1912. Their ranch was known as Western Wold.
