Harold Massie McCue was born in a sod house in Rooks County, Kansas on August 26, 1925 to David Massie McCue and Rosa Mae LeSage. He passed away on April 18, 2013 at Roberts Place, his residence in Logan, Kansas.

Harold attended the Brown School south of Logan, graduating from the 8th grade. After his schooling he worked on the farm to help his parents with the responsibilities of raising four other siblings.

He joined the U. S. Navy in 1944 and was deployed to the Philippines and China in the Seabees Division. He received an Honorary Discharge in 1946 and returned to Kansas.

On January 1, 1948, Harold married Jeannine Bartlett. Their family included six children: Mary Lou, Janet, Duane, Susan, Steven and Karen.

Harold farmed and ranched on the McCalpin Place west of the Brown Schoolhouse until 1962, when he moved his family into Logan. The last load of that move included their favorite cat, Strawberry, who rode underneath the front seat of the old red & white car they owned at the time.

Harold first took a job with Lappin Equipment in Logan as a mechanic, and then he drove the farm fuel delivery truck for the Logan Coop for many years, and finally worked for the Logan Lumber Company.

Later in life Harold was married to Bonnie Wagner on April 23, 1983. He became an important part of Bonnie's children's lives throughout the years: Lynn, Keith, Cheryl, Rick, Tracey, and their families, children and grandchildren.

Harold was an active member and past President of the Logan Lion's Club and was also a member of the Ralph DeFors American Legion Post No. 281 in Logan. He and Bonnie enjoyed traveling together, spending several winters in Arizona and taking two trips to Hawaii, sharing time with family and friends. He was known for his sense of humor, sharing jokes, visiting with town folk and handing out candy & treats during his working years up to his last day. Even as Harold's health failed, he enjoyed using his scooter to travel around town.
