Former Mayor of Charleston and Well Known Physician Dies Suddenly at Home of Parents
Has Been in Ill Health During Past Two Months
Was Active in Civic and Political Affairs; Served In Medical Corps During War
Funeral services for Dr. George A. MacQueen, who died early yesterday morning at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. David A. MacQueen, will be held at the family residence in St. Albans at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The body will be placed in the mausoleum at Spring Hill cemetery. Burial services will be conducted by Kanawha Lodge No. 20, A. F. and A. M.
Was Former Mayor
De. MacQueen was 48 years old, a former mayor of Charleston and one-time candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor of the state. He had been in ill health for two months but his death was unexpected as he was at his office here as usual Saturday. His demise was attributed to heart disease.
Dr. MacQueen was born in Nicholas county November 22, 1879. He was educated at the Baltimore Medical college and began the practice of his profession in Braxton county in 1903. He came to Charleston in 1906, and five years later purchased the Barbour hospital, changing the name to the Kanawha Valley hospital. He directed the hospital until 1924.
The deceased was active in political and civic circles. He was elected mayor in 1917, resigning a year later to enter the medical corps. He was commissioned a captain and stationed at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, during the remaining of the war.
Dr. MacQueen was regarded as one of the best known Democratic leaders of Kanawha county. Although active in campaigns for many years, he was a candidate only twice. Successful in his first political battle, he was defeated along with others of his party when he sought the governorship in the last general primary. The heavy vote he received in Kanawha and surrounding indicated, however, that he was held in the highest esteem by those who knew him.
As a party worker, Dr. MacQueen was valuable to his party. He was a natural leader and had little difficultly in directing subordinate workers in political activities.
In 1924 he disposed of his interests in the local hospital and returned to private practice for a year, during which time he also conducted his campaign for the gubernatorial nomination. In 1925 he acquired the Hoffman hospital at Keyser, but ill health forced him back into private practice here two months ago.
Dr. MacQueen was highly regarded as a surgeon and physician. He served as president of the West Virginia Medical association and of the Kanawha Valley Medical association. He was a 32nd-degree Scottish Rite Mason, a Knight Templar and a Shriner, and member of various other clubs, civic and fraternal. The Masons will have charge of the funeral services.
His wife died several years ago. He is survived by a daughter, Miss Anna MacQueen of New York; his parents and the following brothers and sisters, E. F. MacQueen of South Charleston, Dr. W. E. MacQueen of Summersville, Joseph H. MacQueen of Fayetteville, Archibald MacQueen of Harrisville, Spurgeon MacQueen of Ronceverte, Mrs. Ethel Carskadon of Richwood, Mrs. J. Moore of Ashland, Ky., Miss Ida MacQueen of St. Albans and Miss Alice MacQueen of Charleston.
