THOMAS C. MALLOY, the present county clerk of Lander county and ex-officio clerk of the district court, is a native son of Austin, where his birth occurred on the 9th of July, 1867. His father, Michael Malloy, a native of county Clare, Ireland, emigrated to the United States in 1852, and a number of years afterward, on the 14th of May, 1863, arrived in Austin, Nevada. He was a stonemason by trade, and built many of the early buildings in Austin, which still stand as monuments to his skill and ability. He married Miss Ann Doyle, a native also of Ireland, and their wedding was celebrated in St. Louis, Missouri. After their marriage they crossed the plains on their way to California, but stopped at Austin, Nevada, intending to stay for a short time, and here the father passed away in death in 1870. The mother still survives, having now reached the age of seventy-six years, and is a worthy representative of the brave pioneer women of the Silver state and a devout member of the Roman Catholic church, with which her husband also affiliated. They became the parents of six children, of whom four are living, three sons and one daughter. One son, J. J. Malloy, is also a resident of Austin and an ex-county clerk of Lander county. He was but two years of age when brought by his parents across the plains to Nevada. Another son, M. W. Malloy, resides on a ranch on Reese river, where with his brothers above mentioned he owns five thousand acres of grazing and hay land and also a large range of about eight thousand acres, where they raise large quantities of hay and stock, their cattle being of a high grade of Durham. They also raise their own saddle and road horses. The daughter, Mrs. S. A. Crescenzo, is now living with her mother and brothers, her husband being dead. Thomas C. Malloy received his education in the public schools of Austin, and for a number of years served as the deputy county clerk under his brother. In 1898 he was elected to that office, in which he is now serving his third term. He has a thorough knowledge of the duties of his position, and is proving an efficient and competent official. Mr. Malloy holds to the faith of his parents.
