DR. M'CAULEY DIES ON MIDWAY ISLAND
News of the death this morning of Dr. Henry Macauley on Midway island, where he has been medical officer of the Commercial Pacific Cable Co.'s station since 1917, was received by cable today.
Dr. Macauley had been seriously ill for some time and on the report of D. Morrison, superintendent of the Honolulu office, arrangements had been made by the company with the war department at Washington for the transport Sherman, now en route from Manila, to stop at Midway and remove the sick man to San Francisco.
The Sherman would have arrived at Midway in about 36 hours, but has been notified by wireless of Dr. Macauley's death, and it is thought will not stop there.
It is stated by Mr. Morrison that according to reports he has received by cable from Midway it is so rough there that in his opinion a landing probably could not have been effected in any event.
Dr. Macauley, who was about 65 years of age at the time of his death, leaves a widow in San Francisco whom he had not seen since early in 1917, having been on Midway island continuously since then. The body will be buried at Midway.
A well-known figure in Honolulu for a number of years, Dr. Macauley was at one time physician on the Matson line.∼Honolulu (HI) Advertiser, Tues, 29 No 1921:
Dr. Macauley, Cable Surgeon, Called at Sea
Death outdistanced the United States army transport Sherman which is en route here from Nagasaki. Dr. Henry Macauley, surgeon of the Commercial Pacific Cable Co. at Midway Island, who was to have been taken off the vessel here, died yesterday morning at sea.
Army authorities telegraphed to the Sherman to change her course and come direct to Honolulu. Macauley will be buried on the island.
Dr. Macauley was well along in years and had been on duty on Midway for about four years. He had been in ill health for more than year but when it was proposed that he leave Midway, he preferred to remain there.
In former years Dr. Maucauley [sic] was well known to patrons of the Matson Navigation Co., having been a surgeon aboard the Wilhelmina.∼Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Thurs, 01 Dec 1921, pg 10:
HARBOR NOTES:
The army transport Sherman passed Midway island this morning without stopping there, according to a report received at the transport headquarters. She will arrive here Sunday afternoon or Monday morning from Manila. She was to stop at Midway, but the death of Dr. Henry Macauley, whom she was to pick up, made it unnecessary.∼Oakland (CA) Tribune, Thurs, 23 Feb 1922, pg 13:

Villa Knows Value of Machine Guns, Says Surgeon of Sonoma
Dr. H. Macauley, the new surgeon on the Oceanic steamer Sonoma, which left here for San Francisco Tuesday, had lived for many years in Mexico and after the trouble started down there and the different warring factions had taken turns destroying his property, he joined Vill's forces and for nearly two years traveled with his army in the capacity of a doctor.
That Dr. Macauley had a great number of very interesting experiences is needless to say, and before the steamer sailed he gave an account of the life which the soldiers of Villa lead and the methods of their warfare.
Warring Factions Take Property
"After 25 years of active practise in New York I retied and went to Mexico where I took up land," said Dr. Macauley. "I did very well until the trouble started and then my property was seized first by one government and then another until I found it was of no use to continue as a rancher so I quit and joined with Villa, who was then fighting Huerta. I was chief surgeon of a division and for over a year we experienced great hardships.
"For a time after I joined, the United States recognized Villa and we were able to obtain plenty of ammunition, but this did not last and soon Carranza became the 'real Mackay' and Villa began fighting whoever disputed him. Always in private he expressed a hatred for America and that was the cause of his raid on Columbus. Of course, I had left Mexico before that happened.
Villa Travels at Night
"Villa did not have any aeroplanes or automobiles," continued Dr. Macauley, "but he did have machine guns and knew how to use them. It was his custom to travel at night and attack early in the morning. The Mexicans are great horsemen and we certainly used to cover lots of ground during those night marches. After Villa had located the enemy's camp he would establish a battery of machine guns in a commanding position and when all was ready would send the cavalry on a charge into the camp. These surprise attacks were nearly always successful and when the cavalry had stirred things up they would deploy to the right and left, leaving the ground clear for the machine guns. I will not dwell on what followed."
Dr. Macauley explained that he was not driven into Villa's army, but with other Americans joined because they believed he was fighting a just cause. "Villa had been a rancher near me," he said, "and I joined with him when ranching became impossible, but when he became a bandit and wanted to shoot everyone in sight, I, with others, left him.
Hard Mountain Travel
"When I left Villa's army I crossed the Sierra Madre with two faithful Mexicans and after many hardships reached the coast and took ship for New York arriving there with a good deal less than what I had when I left. We crossed the mountains at an altitude of 14,000 feet, living on bacon and beans and what game we could shoot. An interesting experience that I had while crossing the mountains was that when we reached the 8000 foot level they were covered with enormous pine trees and for three days we did not see the sun or the sky. Some of the trees were three feet through and grew very close together."∼Additional information from contributor #49731453, Tosca-by-the-river:
Dr. Macauley was the fourth person buried on Midway Island. There is little known about his death. The timing coincides with the Navy using Midway as a rendezvous point. During the 1920s, the Cable Station employees were the only full time residents.
