Mary Catherine McIntire Pacheco (January 22, 1842 — November 5, 1913) was an American writer and playwright. She was also a diplomat's wife, and was First Lady of California during her husband's term in 1875.

Early life

Mary Catherine McIntire was born in Madison, Indiana (or possibly Danville, Kentucky), the daughter of David McIntire and Sarah J. Handley McIntire. She moved to California in the late 1850s, with her mother and sisters, after her father died.^[1]

Career

She published a novel, Montalban, in 1874, which placed her "among the first of the women writers of California".^[2] Theatrical works by Pacheco include plays Betrayed, Loyal Til Death, Incog, Malisoff, To Nemesis; or, Love and Hate, American Assurance (later revamped as Nothing But Money), Don Roberto,^[3] Tom, Dick, and Harry, Loyal Unto Death, The Leading Man,^[4]^[5] The Two Johnnies,^[6] and Three Twins (1908, a musical).^[7]

In her life as a politician's wife, Pacheco lived in Sacramento and was, for ten months in 1875, the First Lady of California. (Her husband became the state's first California-born governor when he finished the term of Newton Booth.)^[8] She hosted a literary salon in San Francisco, drawing "all that were worth knowing in California", according to Western writer Bret Harte.^[9]

Personal life

Mary Catherine McIntire married Romualdo Pacheco in 1863, at St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco. They had two children, Maybella Ramona (later Mrs. William S. Tevis) and Romualdo Jr. Their son died at age 6 in 1871.^[1] Mary Pacheco was widowed in 1899, and died in 1913, aged 71 years, in Oakland, California.^[10]
