Dr. Edwin Neil McAuley was one of the "best known" citizens of Collin county. Because of his real humanity and Christianity he never held himself above his fellows, even on an intellectual plane, but was companionable and helpful, habitually rendering numerous forms of assistance to his neighbors and friends of Collin and Dallas County.
He passes from this life on the 12th of July, 1903. His death occurred at Terrell, whither he had been taken for medical treatment, and his funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church, under the auspices of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The deceased had been an active member and elder of that religious body for forty years, and was also one of the oldest and most honored of the local Odd Fellows. He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge.
At the time of his decease the Doctor was in his sixty-sixth year, having been born in North Carolina on the 28th of April, 1838. He obtained his higher literary education at Davidson College, the synodical school of the Presbyterian church of North Carolina, and in 1862 received his diploma to practice medicine after pursuing a course of study in New York city.
Throughout the Civil war he served as a surgeon in Lee's army and engaged in private practice in North Carolina until his removal to McKinney in 1875. There he at once re-established himself as an experienced physician and surgeon, and continued for nearly thirty years to build up a fine practice, as well as to become one of the leading druggists of the place. For a number of years he was a partner in his medical practice with Dr. Alonzo Sims, who also died in 1903, and was associated in the drug business with his brother, Dr. W. C. McAulay.
Internment was at Pecan Grove Cemetery, McKinney, Texas.
