CITY OFFICERS.
Continued
HON. n. MACKEY.

The youngest man of his years
in San Antonio today is the sub
ject of this sketch, whose white
head and warm heart are as well
known as his business grit and
public spirit, and these are house
hold words in this city and where
ever Captain Mackey is known.
Nelson Mackey was born in Rens-
selaerville, n. ", July Sth, 1924.
Received a common school educa-
ton such as was then obtainable
in the country schools Of Albany
county. His boyhood was passed
there and in Albany and in Greene
county, on the Hudson. Removed
to Geneva, same state, in 1850, and
two years later came to Chicago
with Potter Palmer. Was in sue
cessful business there when he
was burned out in the great fire of
1871. Came to San Antonio in the
spring of 1877, at the instance of
the late +. ID. l.. Wickes, with
whom he had been acquainted
from boyhood. Has continued to
reside and do business here until
the present.
Mr.. Mackey's first land specula-
tion in Texas was the purchase of
a tract of $500 acres of land on the
Leon, from Adams & Wickes, upon
which he realized a profit of about
$4,000. For several years he was
engaged in supply contracts, prin-
cipally in building material, and
in speculations in a small way.
Sand for building was at that time
supplied from the beds of the Leon,
and Mr.. Mackey was extensively
engaged in this work. Coming in
to town with his loads, it was his
custom to stop on Prospect hill to
let his teams rest and feed, he TAX
ing his lunch in the shade of his
wagons. Looking down from that
beautiful elevation, now one of our
finest suburbs, Mr.. Mackey used
to wish that he owned one lot there.
He now owns more than a thou
sand spacious lots there, embrac-
ing the choicest building spots on
the hill.
The Mackey Brick and Tile com.
pany was organized by Mr..
Mackey, and he originally owned
the plant. 1t is now the property
of Mr.. I'll. d. Kampmann. He
erected the Alamo Pottery works,
on Herff street, and the beautiful
six-story stone on Houston street,
that bears his name. He owns a
fertile tract of l,176 acres at La
Fruits. His latest investment is
the San Antonio Sewer Pipe &
Mfg. Co., of which he is vice pres
ident and general manager. This
mandatory is located Is miles
below the city, at Saspam-
co, on the SAP, and is one of the
most perfect establishments of its
kind in the south.
Mr.. Mackey is now serving his
third term as one of the aldermen
of this city, and he carries the
same earnestness and integrity of
purpose into the business of the
city that he infuses into his own
affairs.
