What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's in 1921 wrote of Joseph Medill McCormick as a sitting senator; he served a single term, lost renomination, and died in Washington in February 1925 at 47, after which his widow Ruth Hanna McCormick was herself elected to Congress in 1928. Vance C. McCormick lived on in Harrisburg until 1946, still publishing the Patriot. The reaper business Cyrus Hall McCormick founded had already merged into International Harvester in 1902; that company sold its farm-equipment line to Tenneco in 1985, where the McCormick name survives in the Case IH brand, while the rump firm renamed itself Navistar. McCormick Theological Seminary left the Chicago campus described here in the 1970s and now sits in Hyde Park beside the University of Chicago.
