WILLIAM H. MACKEY, JR.

    WILLIAM H. MACKEY, JR., United States marshal for the State of Kansas,
maintains his headquarters at Topeka, although his residence for many years past
has been at Junction City, Kansas. Mr. Mackey was born in Leavenworth County,
Kansas, on July 28, 1856, and is a son of William H. and Anna E. (Boher) Mackey.

    William H. Mackey, Sr., was born in Kentucky, where he learned and followed
the trade of a carriage-maker for some years. He moved West to Leavenworth
County, Kansas, and thence to Junction City, where he now resides.

    William H. Mackey, Jr., was six years of age when in 1862 he accompanied his
parents from his native county to Junction City, Kansas, and there he has since
resided. He received a common-school education and at an early day embarked in
business. He served as under sheriff a period of four years and as sheriff six
years, having been elected to the latter office. He was serving as postmaster of
Junction City at the time of his appointment to the office of United States
marshal, this appointment being confirmed by the United States Senate on
December 18, 1903. Under him are six deputy marshals, of whom B. F. Flenkiken is
chief office deputy, while two clerks are employed in the counting room. William
H. Mackey, Jr., succeeded L. S. Crum, deceased. Politically, he is unswering in
his support of the Republican party and its principles.

    Mr. Mackey married Eva S. Seymour and has four children. They are members of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. Fraternally, Mr. Mackey is a Mason, a Knight of
Pythias and an Odd Fellow.
