JAMES G. MALLERY. Our subject is the President of the Castree-Mallery Company,
an incorporated agricultural implement company in the city of Flint. He was born
at Sodus, Wayne County, N. Y., March 9, 1855, and is a son of Harvey N. Mallery,
a native also of Wayne County, and a blacksmith by occupation. The maiden name
of our subject's mother was Miss Sarah Gillett, she being born also near the
birthplace of her son—Sodus, N. Y.

  About twenty years ago the family came to Genesee County and located on a farm
near Mt. Morris, remaining there two years, when they came to Flint, where the
elder Mr. Mallery engaged in blacksmithing, continuing in this occupation to the
present time. Our subject's mother is still living and they make their home in
the Third Ward. They have only one child, our subject.

  James G. received his education in the city schools of Flint, supplementing
the same by a clerkship of five years with the firm of F. H. & E. O. Pierce,
grocers. At the expiration of that time he began dealing in agricultural
implements with his father, their place of business being on South Saginaw
street. He continued in this but a short time when he engaged to work for the
hardware firm of Simington & Hughes, remaining with them for two years, when he
bought an interest in the Castree-Mallery Foundry, the firm name being Castree &
Mallery. The company was in corporated [sic] in 1886 with J. B. Castree as
President. Two years later our subject became its President. They manufacture
land rollers, cultivators, harrows, bob sleds and all kinds of agricultural
implements, giving employment to thirty-five men.

  Our subject was married to Miss Ida B. Johnson, February 27, 1878. Mrs.
Mallery is a daughter of James M. Johnson of this city. To them have been born
one child, a son, Harvey J. Mrs. Mallery was born in New York, Nov. 24, 1861,
and was brought to this State when quite young by her parents. Socially, Mr.
Mallery is a member of the Masonic order, being identified with Genesee Lodge,
No. 174. The Castree-Mallery Company is one of the leading industries of Flint
and adds greatly to the business prosperity of the place.
