    Biography

    Source Citation: 1881 Portrait & Biographical Album of Knox County, IL

    DAVID McCONCHIE, junior member of the firm of McConchie Bros., manufacturers of carriages and wagons, and manager of the wood department of this factory, is the subject herein spoken of. The business was established by the two elder brothers in 1879, and, starting at the foot of the ladder, in these few years they have not only won splendid reputations as honest men, socially and from a business point of view, but have proven themselves thorough and skilled mechanics. They have enlarged their business, and now what at first was operated by themselves alone requires six additional hands, each brother having a separate department in the work. Alexander McConchie manages the iron and David the wood department. Their trade has increased with the years, and their annual sales amount now to about $6,000 and are still on the increase. The business is chiefly local, but is spreading as the excellency and worth of their vehicles become more widely known.

    David, the subject of this sketch, was born at Creetown, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, May 17, 1854. His father, Robert, was a native of the same shire and directly a descendant of the Scotch nation; pure Scotch blood flows in his veins. He was married in his native shire to Jane McQuie, born in the same place and of like ancestry. While residing in the old country the parents had born to them three sons and one daughter. The oldest child, Jane, was the wife of Gilbert Dugan, formerly a grain merchant of this place, but now deceased; the widowed sister is residing at Oneida. Alexander, senior member of the above firm;
    William, employed in the factory of his brothers as blacksmith; and David.

    After the births of the children the parents set out for the United States, sailing from their native land in May 1857. They located in Oneida the following month after their arrival, and during their residence in the United Stated three other children were born to them, one of whom, Mamie, died at the age of one year; Samuel is employed at carpenter work in the factory; and Mary resides with her parents in this city. The father has been connected with the C., B. & Q. R. R. for 20 years, in the capacity of switchman and baggage-master. He has never lost a day’s pay, and is known as “Honest Old Bob”, or “Uncle Bob”. He is loved and respected by all the employees, and has the confidence of the company to the fullest extent.

    After David had completed his education in the High School of Oneida, at the age of 19 years, he commenced as an apprentice to learn the art of wagon-making. For this purpose he went into the shop of G.W. Roe, and old and experienced mechanic of this place, where he faithfully served for five years. This seems a long period to the restless American youth, who is usually too impatient to acquire a trade, so long as he can be allowed to measure calico or molasses for board. Mr. McConchie was not of that type, but believed that what was worth doing was worth doing well, and after leaving Mr. Roe’s employ, he entered the service of Mr. R. Bristol, carriage manufacturer (now deceased), with whom he remained one year. Thus equipped with the instruction of two old mechanics and a practical experience of two shops, he was well prepared to begin business on his own account, and it is largely to such instruction and patient practice that their own establishment is indebted for its success and prosperity.

    Mr. McConchie was united in marriage with Miss Kate B. Armor, of Quincy, IL, Oct. 6, 1885. She was a daughter of the well-known lumber dealer of that city, and was born Aug 17, 1853. She was educated in the public schools of Quincy, and received parental training under the Baptist persuasion. In politics Mr. McConchie is a Republican; he is also an earnest temperance man, and in his life is an example worthy of imitation by any American youth.
