"Hiram M. McCartney came to Logan County in the year 1830. He studied law in this county with Hon. B. M. Piatt, who then resided in Logan County. He was a man of fair education, with great natural gifts, and he would have been the leading lawyer in this section of the State, had he lived and remained in good health.
He became consumptive, and fell its victim just as his great talents were beginning to develop his great powers and energy. He was a free-thinker and held liberal views on all things. He was one of the prominent anti-slavery men of the time, and almost the last act of his life was to preside at an Abolition meeting, at which he gave expression to bold truths, which he uttered amid threats of personal violence.
Many anecdotes are told of his independence and liberality. He is yet remembered and talked of by all the old citizens. He was elected Prosecuting Attorney in 1832, and again in 1834. He died in the year 1839 [1843]. History of Logan County, Ohio, O. L. Baskin and Company, Publishers, 1880
