Wilson McCarthy
Wilson McCarthy (24 July 24, 1884 - 1956) was an American attorney, jurist and railroad executive.
== Early life ==
According to author Will Bagley, McCarthy's grandfather immigrated to the United States from Ireland circa 1847 in the midst of the famous potato famine. McCarthy's father Charles, born in Ohio in 1850, traveled to Utah, where he became a stage coach driver. He converted to Mormonism when he married Mary Mercer in 1876. Mary Wilson failed to conceive, so Charles took her sister as a second wife, later going to prison as a polygamist. Ironically, Mary Wilson then gave birth to two sons in quick succession, the second being Warren Wilson McCarthy. McCarthy was born in American Fork, Utah on July 24, 1884. The family immigrated to Alberta, Canada, where McCarthy grew up as a ranch hand and cowboy. Boots and western wear became the "standard attire for the rest of his life."
Denver novelist Sandra Dallas notes McCarthy was a colorful character in more ways than just his attire. "He accused his predecessor of having 'cracked ice pumping through your veins.' And he apparently was not as strait-laced as his Mormon upbringing might suggest, because he once invited his son to meet his mistress."
Wilson served a church mission to his family's ancestral land of Ireland. Upon returning to the United States, however, he gave up on his cowboy lifestyle, marrying Minerva Woolley in 1910, moving to New York City and entering law school at Columbia University.
