MACY, JOHN B. The career of John B. Macy in Fond du Lac was brief, if measured by years, but it was rich in great events and colossal in work for the public. Hhe was born in Nantucket, R. I. March 25, 1799, and, after finishing the liberal education which all New Englanders in easy circumstances receive, embarked at once in a series of heavy business traansactions, contracts and speculations, which ended only with his tragic death.
At the sale of the Fond du Lac Company's lands, Mr. Macy came to Wisconsin and made heavy purchases of real estate, and. in 1850, moved with his family to the town of Empire, near de Neven Lake. He began building at once on a large scale, and although he soon had a magnificent place, with stone archways, handsome drives and a large yard shaded by all the trees common to Wisconsin forests and nurseries, continued the erection of buildings until his death.
He was all activity and enterprise---a leading spiirit in all the great undertakings of the day. Perhaps no man did so much for the city of Fond du Lac, in the way of advertising the location, wealth, health and future prospects of the place, as John B. Macy. Where ever he went, he talked enthusiastically of the Fountain City, and always declared that before he reached his hundredth birthday, it would contain 30,000 inhabitants and a half-dozen railroads. He certainly did more than any other man to attract capital to Fond du Lac, for it was through his repeated visits to the East, and by virtue of his enthusiastic persistency that Robert J. Walker and other heavy capitalists were induced to invest liberally in what is now the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, which had its beginning in the city of Fond du Lac. One great scheme no sooner neared a successful consummation than he rushed into another. He planned and handled the largest enterprise as easily as ordinary men do their most trivial every-day affairs.
In 1852, he was sent to Congress in order to be in a position to more rapidly help on his railroad schemes and the Fox River improvement, but was defeated in 1854 for re-election on account of what was termed his "un-Democratic action" on the Kansas-Nebraska bill.
Notwithstanding his large and perplexing business affairs, Mr. Macy found much time for social gatherings. He loved whole-souled generosity, and his house was the scene of more hospitality -dispensed with the peculiar aristocracy that showed a proud family and a good breeding, at the same time with that cordialty and indiscrimination that made everybody, whether rich or poor, not only welcome, but perfectly equal and at home---than any other in the county, not excepting that N. P. Tallmadge's.
Mr. Macy was drowned from the burning steamer Niagara, about one mile from Port Washington on Lake Michigan, Sept 24, 1856. His body was never recovered.
He was a man of extraordinary physical development and of commanding presence, being considerably over six feet in height, elegant in carriage, perfect in address and entertaining in conversation. He had two childen--John B., who died in 1850, and Elizabeth B., who married M. J. Thomas, only to be left a widow in November, 1859, by reason of the Belleville disaster.
