Andrew Mack

Andrew Mack (1780 – July 19, 1854) was an American businessman and politician who, among other things, co-founded the Detroit Free Press, served as mayor of Detroit, Michigan, and whose land holdings became a portion of the town of Marysville.

Early life

Mack was born in New London, Connecticut, and was a sailor as a young man, having sailed around the world three times. In 1804, he drove a herd of merino sheep that he had purchased in Spain westward to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he established a wool factory and a hotel. In the War of 1812, he was the captain of a military company and subsequently served as member of the Cincinnati City Council and as a state senator in the Ohio General Assembly. He ran for Mayor of Cincinnati in the spring of 1829, but lost to the incumbent Isaac G. Burnet.

Detroit

President Andrew Jackson appointed him to become customs collector for Detroit in 1829, a post he held for ten years. Upon his arrival in the Michigan Territory, he became involved with the local militia and gained the appellation "Colonel". In 1831, Sheldon McKnight established the Democratic Free Press and Michigan Intelligencer (it eventually was renamed to the Detroit Free Press in 1866) and less than a year later, the newspaper was purchased by a consortium of citizens, one of whom was Mack. That group owned the business until 1837.

Andrew Mack (actor)

Andrew Mack, born William Andrew McAloon, (July 25, 1863 – May 21, 1931) was an American vaudevillian, actor, singer and songwriter of Irish descent. A native of Boston, Massachusetts, he began his career at an early age in 1876 using the stage name Andrew Williams. He began in minstrel shows, and was especially associated with the song "A Violet From Mother's Grave". In 1892, he debuted in vaudeville.

He composed songs for himself to sing. In 1899, he composed the popular song "The Story of the Rose (Heart of My Heart)" which became a standard of barbershop quartets.
