MATHEWS, MACK. The subject of this sketch was born near Shelbyville, Indiana, April 4, 1840. He 
moved with his father's family to south-west Missouri, where he remained till he was sixteen years of 
age ; and in 1856 he came to California. He has lived in Lake County since its organization, and has held 
the position of Superintendent of Schools for several terms, being elected at the last general election 
held in 1879, and is the present incumbent, filling the office with great credit to himself and to the full 
satisfaction of the people. He is a thoroughly energetic man and fully identified with the interests of 
the county in which he resides.
