This is an obituary I found in the Times. My MacQueens were in Chile at this time and their ancestors were also Glasgow traders - but no connection with this William. Does anybody know who he is? Many thanks, Jane "The Times, Tuesday, Aug 07,1934; pg 12; Issue 46826; col C Mr. William Macqueen Category: Obituaries Mr. William Macqueen Mr. William Macqueen, entomologist and traveler, has died at Valparaiso at the age of 45. Reuter's correspondent at Santiago says that Mr. Macqueen contracted a chill when leading an expedition in the Aysen territory, skirting Chilean Patagonia. This expedition, besides its special entomological aims, was studying the botany, zoology, geology, glaciation and general topography of the region between the River Cisnes and Lake Buenos Aires. Mr. Macqueen, whose father was one of the most successful Glasgow traders on the West Coast of South America, was educated at Glasgow Academy and at the Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford. When the War broke out, he was in Germany. He escaped and served with the Northumberland Yeomanry, taking part in the first battle of Ypres. Five years ago, he inherited his father's fortune and had since devoted himself to travel. Mr. Macqueen was an only son, and he had one sister, Mary Elizabeth Macqueen, who lives at Wadham, Worcestershire."
