W. H. Mackoy |
W. H. MACKOY
was born in Covington, Ky. His ancestry is Scotch, his
father’s great-grandfather, James Mackoy,
having left Scotland and settled in King William county,
Va., prior to the year 1718. John Mackoy,
grandfather of the subject of this sketch, came from
Virginia to Kentucky early in the present century, and
purchased a farm in the fertile river bottom ten miles below
the town of Greenup, Ky. One of his sons, also named
John, the father of W. H. Mackoy, left his
father’s farm when a young man and removed to Covington,
Ky., where he resided until his death, a period of more than
fifty years. He was one of the first elders of the
First Presbyterian Church of Covington, and took a prominent
part in everything that pertained to the moral and material
development of his place of residence, enjoying to the
fullest extent the confidence and esteem of his
fellow-citizens. The mother of W. H. Mackoy was
Elizabeth, daughter of William Hardia,
of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
W. H. Mackoy was graduated a Master of Arts of
the University of Virginia, subsequently studied law, began
its practice in 1866, and has devoted his entire time to his
profession, having his office in Cincinnati, and practicing
in the Courts of both Ohio and Kentucky. In the summer
of 1890 he was elected a delegate to the Kentucky
Constitutional Convention from the Second Legislative
District of Covington. As a member of that body he
served upon the important committees on corporations and
municipalities, and drafted the articles of the constitution
relating to those subjects. At the adjourned session
of the convention in September, 1891, he was a member of its
committee on revision, and rendered important and valuable
services in making corrections in the draft of that
instrument which were necessary to make it consistent in all
its parts and as a whole. Mr. Mackoy was
married to Margaret Chambers Brent, a
daughter of Hugh Innes Brent and Margaret, his wife,
of Paris, Ky. Our subject is the father of two sons,
Lewis and Harry, and of one daughter,

For three years, from 1848 to 1851, he was engaged in the

J. CHARLES McCULLOUGH,
one of the best known seedsmen of the West, was born
in Pleasant Ridge, Ohio, and is a son of J. M. McCullough,
whose name is unrivaled in the seed business in this
country. He passed his boyhood and early manhood
associated with his father in the seed business, thus
becoming perfectly familiar with every detail, both
horticultural and commercial. In 1887 he engaged in
business for himself, and met with universal success from
the start. The rapid increase of his business soon
necessitated his removal to his present more extensive
quarters, at the corner of Second and Walnut streets.
His stock includes every kind of seed and implement
necessary for the farm and garden, and no pains are spared
to make it complete. During the holiday season he
carries a full variety of holly and evergreen wreaths and
branches and Christmas trees, in the choice and preparation
of which he has acquired an enviable reputation.
Mr. McCullough also deals in buggies and harness, and is
connected with the McCullough Buggy Company, whose “
High Grade ” vehicles and harnesses have become very popular
all over the United States. He is a member of the
Lincoln Club of Cincinnati, and resides at Pleasant Ridge,
Ohio, within a hundred yards of the place of his birth.

JAMES W. McLAUGHLIN,
one of the leading architects of the West, was born in
Cincinnati Nov. 1, 1834, and is the son of William and
Mary A. (Robinson) McLaughlin. His father, who was
of a well-known Pennsylvania family, came, in 1818, from the
vicinity of Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, where he was for many
years a merchant, the style of the firm being at one time
McLaughlin & Shillito; the institution has since
become one of the largest of its kind in Ohio. The
mother of our subject was born in Baltimore, Md., whence her
parents emigrated to Cincinnati about 1814. Of her
children, three survive: George, ex-president of the
Firemen’s Insurance Company, Cincinnati; James W.,
and Louisa, who is a well-known artist, and the
authoress of several books on painting on china and kindred
subjects; she has also made some valuable discoveries in the
manufacture of pottery, which have been utilized by the
Rookwood Pottery, making its pottery famous—it being in some
respects the finest manufactory, not only in this country,
but in the world.
Our subject received his education in the public
schools of Cincinnati, and then pursued the study of his
profession under the tutorship of James K. Wilson.
He opened an office of his own in 1855, since which time he
has continued to follow his profession here with the
exception of the time during the Civil war, when he served
as first lieutenant in Gen. Fremont’s bodyguard in
Missouri. To give Mr. McLaughlin proper rating
in his profession, it is but necessary to mention a few of
the hundreds of magnificent buildings which he has designed.
His first residence design was that of the Judge
Este homestead on Fourth street, now the Shoemaker
residence, which was once illustrated in “Scribner’s
Monthly.” He was also the architect of the residences
of W. S. Groesbeck, John Shillito, H. H.
Vail,
S. P. Kineon, Harry L. Laws, Col. Weir,
Gen.
A.
T. Goshorn,
R. H. Shoemaker and Herman Goepper.
Among the more important business structures which he has
designed may be mentioned: the old Shillito building,
now McAlpin’s, on Fourth street, also the new
Shillito building; Mabley & Carew’s; the
new Carew; the Johnston; the Wiggins
and Rawson buildings. He was also the architect
of the Unitarian church; the courthouse; public library; art
museum; art school; and the Young Men’s Christian
Association building. The new courthouse of
Richmond, Wayne Co., Ind., also owes the beauty of its
architecture to his genius. Mr. McLaughlin
loses no opportunity to keep abreast with the progress of
his profession, having even made visits to the Old World
that he might study its architecture. He has been a
member of the American Institute of Architecture for over
twenty years, was its vice-president from 1889 to 1891, and
is now president of the Ohio Chapter. J. W.
McLaughlin was married, Sept. 27, 1862, to Miss
Olive, daughter of Simeon Barbe,
formerly of Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, by whom he has had
nine children. He has four grandchildren. The
family reside at Mt. Auburn.

Ohio, Nov. 18, 1852, the son of John A. and Maria (Kyle)
Miller. His father, a native of Lambertville, N.
J., is a farmer near Milan, Ind. The Miller family
is of German origin. The Kyles are an old
Kentucky family, but at an early date removed to the
vicinity of Mt. Carmel, Ohio, where Gen. Kyle owned
an extensive tract of land. An old uncle, Robert
Kyle, died just before President Cleveland's
first election to the presidency. To the last he
manifested a deep interest in the issue of the campaign, and
said repeatedly that he would die happy if he only knew
Cleveland would be elected. The Miller family
have also been Democratic in political faith, and in
religious faith they are Baptists. The subject of this
sketch obtained his education at Lebanon, Ohio. In
December, 1869, he came to Newtown and clerked for the late
W. R. McGill seven years. He was then in the
employ of H. R. Droste & Company, of Cincinnati,
wholesale dealers in spices and teas, as traveling salesman
eight years, and for the past seven years has successfully
conducted a general mercantile business at Newtown. On
Apr. 26, 1874, he married Alice Marie Beelangee, of
Mt. Carmel, Ohio, the daughter of John and Miammee
(Jones) Beelangee. John Bellangee has been
dead for many years. He once kept a livery stable at
the southeast corner of Third and Vine streets, Cincinnati.
Jesse Jones, the father of Mrs. Beelangee, was
a well-known carpenter in the pioneer days of eastern Ohio.
When the first settlement in the State was made at Marietta,
he drove the first nail in the roof of the first house.
The Beelangee family are of French descent.
