H. H. McFadden
H. H. McFadden, one of Steubenville's representative citizens, has been a resident here since 1875 and is identified with many leading business interests, including the Steubenville Gazette Company, publishers. He was born at Cadiz, O., August 13, 1848, completed his common school course there and later took a commercial course in a Philadelphia business college.
When he returned from college, Mr. McFadden entered his father's general store as clerk and bookkeeper and two years later became a partner in the business, in which he continued for nine years. On February 1, 1875, he came to Steubenville and with W. H. Hunter bought the Steubenville Gazette, of C. N. Allen. This partnership continued until 1900, when Mr. McFadden bought Mr. Hunter's interest and continued as sole proprietor until August 1, 1901, when the present company was organized. Mr. McFadden has been thus continuously identified for thirty-five years with one of the leading journals of the state.
