History of Manistee, Mason & Oceana Counties, Michigan
H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1882

         [pg 67-68]
         
         A. V. McALVAY is a prominent member of the Manistee County
       bar. He was born in Ann Arbor, July 19, 1847. He graduated in
       the literary department of the University of Michigan in 1868, 
       and from the law department in 1869. He was admitted to the 
       bar, and taught school one year. In November, 1871, he came 
       to Manistee, and entered upon the practice of law. His natural 
       abilities as a lawyer very soon manifested themselves, and in 
       1878 he was appointed circuit judge, to fill the unexpired term 
       of Judge H. H. WHEELER, who resigned. His record while upon the 
       bench is a good one, and very complimentary to his ability as
       a jurist. Upon retiring from the bench at the expiration of his
       term, he resumed his practice. He has held various local offices,
       such as supervisor, circuit court commissioner, etc., and has
       been deputy collector of customs at this port since February,
       1881.
