Traits of A. E. Orr as NY Life potential head
Alexander Ector Orr, an Ireland born NY figure, emerged as a leading candidate to succeed John A. McCall as head of New York Life. He became a shipping clerk, partner at David Dows & Co, and long-term NY Produce Exchange and Chamber of Commerce leader.

Meanwhile John A.
