John Keener “J.K.” McCall (1872-1966) – Family Group Record

April 27, 2010
By Brad McCall

The following is the family group record for John Keener “J.K.” McCall. J.K. and Ollie (Johnson) McCall were the parents of my Great-Grandfather Robert Lee McCall who married Etoyl Montgomery in 1920. I had the pleasure of knowing both Etoyl and Robert “Bob” McCall and spending time at their house in Stayton, Oregon when I was a kid. I also was able to spend some time at J.K.’s second wife’s home. “Miss Azle” as everyone knew her lived to be nearly 100 years old.

If you have more information on this family including stories, pictures and dates and family member names, I’d love to hear from you.

    My father was Jack Cavness McCall. JK was my grandfather. And Uncle Bob and Aunt Etoyle, I knew very well. Are you Danny McCall’s side of the family? Tommy Lee McCall, Harold Dean and Danny were sons of Uncle Bob and Aunt Etoyle. Tommy Lee only had one daughter, Barbara. I would love to hear from you. Maybe my sister and I could add to your information about the McCall family. I have a picture of Granddad and the boys taken in Stayton.
