JOHN T. MACAULEY was born in Newport, Ky., on the 4th of February, 1848,
and is a son of John and Bridget (Smith) Macauley, natives of Ireland; the
former came to the United States about the year 1830, and was a carpenter
by trade.  John T. was reared in Buffalo, N.Y., and was attending the high
school at the beginning of the war.  In 1861 he enlisted in the Eleventh
Indiana Volunteer Infantry, being but fifteen years old at the time.  He
was made adjutant of the regiment in 1863, and captain in 1864. He served
all through the war, and was wounded at the battle of Cedar Creek. At the
close of the war he went to Indianapolis, and was in business there until
the panic of 1873, but afterward traveled for the Indianapolis Journal.
In 1879 he came to Louisville, and acted one year as manager of the
theater, and in February, 1881, he became the proprietor of it, and has so
remained to the present time.  He was married, November 18, 1868, to Miss
Annie A. Kirlin, of Indianapolis.
