**********************************
Andrew McLean IV was a banker, manufacturer, and two term mayor of Passaic, New Jersey. He was born in Troy, New York. When he was a boy his parents moved the family to Jersey City, New Jersey. After Public School education in Jersey City, at age 19, Andrew started working for his father at the "Andrew McLean Company"(they made Mosquito netting and other cotton goods). In 1888 Andrew IV became head of the company, and in 1889 he transferred the mill from Paterson, NJ to Passaic, NJ (with an office in New York City). The Passaic mill still exists on a street he named Virginia in honor of his mother. On May 15, 1926 he and his employees celebrated the 100th anniversary of the firm's establishment. In July 1928, the company took over the controlling interest in T.R. Goodlatte & Sons, Inc. Delawanna. Then, around the 1940s, the Andrew McLean Company closed.
Andrew had also been vice president and a director of the Peoples Bank and Trust Company of Passaic since it was founded in 1891. In 1895 he was elected Mayor and re-elected two years later. He was also active in clubs such as the Union League of New York (the old Seventh Regiment), Sons of the Revolution, and the Thousand Island Yacht Club in New York where he was a commodore.
During the summers months, Andrew and his family would stay at their vacation home on Zavikon Island (located near Alexanderia Bay, New York in the heart of the Thousand Islands area of the St. Lawrence River). He built and owned what is falsely known as the "smallest international bridge" in the world. The bridge is in Canada.
Note: His great-grandfather (Andrew McLean I), grandfather (Andrew McLean II), and father (Andrew McLean III) are all buried in the same plot at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York (see their memorial pages).
