Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from National Year Book, 1907: The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Nelson Alvin McClary was born on a farm at Albany, Vt., August 17, 1856. When nine years of age, upon the death of his mother, the family became scattered. He attended school at Peacham, Vt., and worked in a general store at Windsor, Vt. He was placed in charge of a book store at Hanover, N. H., by a brother at the age of nineteen. Deciding to go through college, he fitted privately and kept the book store until the end of his junior year, and graduated at Dartmouth College in 1884, with degree of A. B. and "final honors" in chemistry. He was awarded the Grimes prize for greatest general improvement during course, and was class-day poet. He settled in Chicago in 1884, where he first worked for Jansen, McClurg & Co., publishers and booksellers. After a few months he obtained a position with a gas-works construction company as salesman, later Secretary, and finally General Manager. He became interested in several gas properties in Western States, and secured a franchise for the Cicero Gas Company (now part of the Northwestern Gas Light & Coke Co.) in 1892, of which he became President. He planned the works and built and managed the Ogden Gas Company (Chicago) until sold, 1896 to 1901. He is now President of the Northwestern Gas Light & Coke Co. (Chicago suburbs), President of the De Kalb County (Ill.) Gas Co., Secretary of the Sterling (Ill.) Gas & Electric Light Co., Vice-President of Florence Oil Co. (Ind.) and Vice-President of the National Gas & Water Co. He married in 1888 Emily Bicknell Rood, of Philadelphia, and has two sons, aged sixteen and eighteen. His home is in Oak Park (Chicago suburb). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
