Shaver, F. A., Arthur P. Rose, R. F. Steele, and A. E. Adams, compilers. "An Illustrated History of Central Oregon." ("Embracing Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, Lake, & Klamath Counties") Spokane, WA: Western Historical Publishing Co., 1905. p. 1022. FRANK H. McCORNACK residing five miles northwest of Klamath Falls, is in partnership with his brother, Eugene P. McCornack, and together they own one of the best bands of stock in the vicinity. Our subject was born January 31, 1869, near Eugene, Oregon. His father, Alexander McCornack, was a native of Scotland who came to the United States when quite young, settling first in Illinois. In 1852 he crossed the plains with ox teams extending his journey through to Puget sound. A short time afterward he came to Lane county, Oregon, and located on a donation claim. One of the earliest pioneers of Lane county, he enlisted as a volunteer in the memorable Modoc War, and soon afterward was killed by a runaway team. This sad accident occurred near his home, in Lane county. The mother of our subject was Maria (Eakin) McCornack, a native of Ireland. She came to Illinois where she was married and crossed the plains with her husband, dying in 1902. Our subject is the youngest of a family of twelve children, all of whom are living with the exception of the oldest. Reared on the Lane county ranch, he was educated in the public schools in this vicinity, and, also, attended the state university, at Eugene, and the business college at Salem, Oregon. He removed to his present location in 1891, where he at once engaged in the stock business, the same year, December 25, he was united in marriage to Rosa Wolf, who was born in the Willamette valley. Her parents were among the earliest pioneers of Oregon, her father now living near Falls City, Oregon. Her mother is dead Eugene F., Mary E. and Agnes M. are the three children of Mr. and Mrs. McCornack. The extensive ranch owned by the McCornack Brothers comprise nearly twelve thousand acres, mainly hay, swamp and grazing land. They are engaged in raising cattle, sheep, and horses, and have quite a considerable herd of stock, principally cattle and sheep. Our subject has witnessed many of the vicissitudes of life, and endured many of life's hardships. At one period, he worked on ranches for others where the remuneration did not rise to over fifty cents per day. And this experience ran through a number of well remembered years. He came to the community in which he now resides, with very limited means, and his unqualified success is due to the sterling qualities of industry, energy and superior natural business ability. Mr. and Mrs. McCornack are members of the Presbyterian church. Politically, he is a Republican, a progressive citizen and highly esteemed by all with whom he has business or social relations. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
