A great deal of information resides in newspapers of the day but finding the detail is slow, tedious work. The New York Times is the best cataloged and most readily available newspaper collection. New York Times, November 14, 1938. Obituaries "Clarence Mackay Dies At Home Here". New York Times, December 7, 1938. "Mackay's Widow To Get $2,050,000". New York Tribune, July 27, 1902. Sunday Supplement "The New Head of the Mackay Family, Clarence H., Combines Good Business Ability With A Love For Horses". Roslyn News, September 24, 2004. "Thousands Turn Out for Groundbreaking Festivities". |
