Frank Albert Knox, born (c.1895), was a native of Orono, Ontario. After graduating from Queen's in 1923 in History and Economics he went on to graduate studies. A year later, he was called back to Queen's where he began a teaching career that was to span some forty years. Although he did do graduate studies at both Harvard and the University of Chicago he never completed a graduate degree. It seems that whenever he became involved in his graduate work, he was called upon to complete some more pressing task and had to give it up.
Professor Knox served for many years as head of the Economics Department at Queen's, he was the editor of The Journal of the Canadian Banker's Association, chairman of the Committee of Inquiry into the Economics of the Gold Mining Industry and contributed to numerous other studies, reports and papers. He was an expert on international trade and a well remembered and appreciated University teacher. In 1964 he was awarded an honorary LL.D. from the University of Toronto and received a second one from Queen's in 1965. He was a member of the Royal Society of Canada and the student award for excellence in teaching was named the Frank Knox Award. Dr. Knox died in Kingston on January 25, 1976 at the age of 81.
Madeline Knox lived in Mount Chesney, Ontario.
Augustus Köllner, an itinerant artist, was born in Stuttgart, Germany. He settled in the United States in 1839 or 1840. During the 1840's he travelled widely in North America, reaching Canada in 1848. He passed away in 1906 in Philadelphia, PA.
