MACK M. WICKWARE, who is engaged in publishing the Cass City Enterprise and A
Kingston Citizen, at Kingston, Mich., was born in Belleville; Ontario, Canada,
May 11, 1870. He is a son of William and Ella (Eno) Wick ware, and his father
was a carpenter by trade. Both parents were born in Mallerytown, Canada. Our
subject came to Tuscola County at the age of two years, as his father at that
time emigrated hither and engaged in both the mercantile business and a planing
mill. To the boy was given a good common-school education in the Cass City
schools, and here he attended until eighteen years old. He began work at the
printing business at odd hours while he was still in school, and learned much of
this work in the office of the Enterprise, which was then in the hands of R. S.
Toland, who was carrying it on successfully. In September, 1890, Mr. Toland
died, and as the paper was then offered for sale our young subject and his
friend Mr. J. D. Brooker decided to invest their means and efforts in this line.
They therefore purchased the paper and continued to publish it for some time
when Mr. Wick ware secured entire control of the sheet.

  The Cass City Enterprise is independent in its political views but devotes
itself largely to matters of local interest and is well sustained by the people
of the community. Mr. Wickware, who gained his majority after taking charge of
the paper, is the youngest editor in the county of Tuscola and if he continues
to use the same judgment and discretion which have guided him thus far, he will
become one of the most successful and influential newspaper men in the State.
