Harriet Calista Clark McCabe

Harriet Calista Clark McCabe (January 19, 1827 – September 25, 1919) was an American pioneer in women's work for temperance and home missions. She took a responsible position in the formation of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in the period immediately following the Women's Crusade. She was the first president of the Ohio WCTU; she gave the organization its name, and drafted its Constitution. Her parents were Arvine and Eliza F. (Clark) Clark.

She had at least three children: John Jay McCabe (1859–1933), Robert Lorenzo McCabe (1863–1937) and Calista McCabe Courtenay (1868–1936).

In politics, she was a member of the Progressive Party.

On January 19, 1919, McCabe's friends met at her home in Delaware to celebrate her 92nd birthday. An address was delivered by former Governor Frank B. Willis, and then, by request of the assembled company, McCabe told once more the familiar story of the founding of the WCTU. She died in Delaware, Ohio, September 25, 1919, and is buried in that city's Oak Grove Cemetery.
