This gentleman is of Scotch-Irish descent. He was born in Fairfield County, Ohio in 1833 and with his parents removed to this county in 1844. His father was a farmer, and purchased a farm one and a half miles south of Wabash. He died in 1847, leaving his boys too young to carry on the farm. It being necessary for him to follow some other occupation, Thomas McNamee came to town to learn the tinner's trade. In 1855 he engaged in business for himself, working along in a small way will in 1863 George N. King joined him in business, when they entered more extensively into the tinning and hardware line of business. This firm built up a large trade, in which it continued till 1881, when both partners retired from the active business of the store, and engaged mainly in banking and farming, in which business they are still occupaied. They, with J.W. Busick, organized the Wabash County Bank in 1877. Mr. McNamee has served a number of terms in the City Countil and on the City School Board. He has occupied positions of greater or less prominence in connection with all the principal enterprises projected for the improvement of the city or county. In 1859 he was married to Mary E. Armstrong. To them have been born three children -- Wilbur, Harry and Thomas. The eldest succeeds Mr. McNamee in the hardware business; the second son, Harry, is employed in the bank, and the youngest is passing through the city schools. Mr. McNamee has marked his impression on the community with which for forty years he has so closely been connected. He may well be characterized as a man of refined manners. He is easy of approach, and combines the characteristics of the Christian gentleman and the practical business man. [From Wabash County History by Clarkson Weesner, pub. 1914, pg 573] THOMAS MCNAMEE. Owing to his long and active business career in the city of Wabash, Thomas McNamee is one of the most widely known men in the county at the present time. His home has been here since boyhood, a period of seventy years, and his business career in Wabash began nearly sixty years ago. As a merchant, farmer, banker, and man of large affairs, his influence has always been exercised in such a way as to promote the substantial welfare of his community. A son of Moses and Ann (McCollum) McNamee, he was born in the year 1833 in Ohio, and was brought to Wabash county when eleven years of age. The first family home was in the midst of the woods a mile and a half south of Wabash on the Marion road. In that locality his parents spent the remainder of their days, as industrious, but quiet farming people. Thomas McNamee while still a boy came into Wabash, and learned the trade of tinner. In the meantime he had profited by attendance at the primitive local school of the time, but has always relied upon hard work and unwavering integrity and fidelity to his applications to advance him towards success. In 1855 he engaged in business for himself as a tinner, and in 1863, became associated with George N. King in the hardware trade. In 1881 Mr. McNamee and Mr. King extended their operations to farming and banking, and in other ways these two men and other members of the King family were associated in business affairs for nearly half a century. In 1877. in partnership with George N. King and J.W. Busiek, Mr. McNamee organized the Wabash County Bank, then a private bank, changing it to a national bank in 1888, when the name became the Wabash National Bank. In 1897 Mr. McNamee became president of the Wabash National Bank, and has held that office to the present time, although he is now past the age of fourscore, yet retains all his faculties as a business executive which was notable during his younger life. As a citizen and business man he has been foremost in all that was for the best interests of the community. In 1859 Mr. McNamee married Mary E. Armstrong, now deceased. They were the parents of three sons: Wilbur, Harry and Thomas W. No history of Wabash county could properly be written without frequent mention of the name of Thomas McNamee.
