William McNaughton Galloway (1840–1895) was mayor of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 1889. He also built the now heritage-listed Breakfast Creek Hotel. == Personal life == William Galloway was born in Perth, Scotland in 1840, the son of George Galloway and Hellen née Martin.〔〔Queensland Registrar General of Births, Deaths & Marriages〕 He married wife Anne (née Waters). They lived in the house "Aberleigh" at Kelvin Grove until 1890 when they moved into the Breakfast Creek Hotel which they built in 1889.〔〔 On Saturday 12 January 1895, William McNaughton Galloway fell from a window on the second floor of the Breakfast Creek Hotel, a distance of 17 feet. He received immediate medical attention from a passing doctor and was taken to hospital, but he died about 40 minutes later. In the subsequent magisterial inquiry, it was revealed that Galloway had been drinking heavily over the previous 3 weeks. On the day of his death, he was again intoxicated and the barman, William Floyd, decided to lock Galloway in an upper room of the hotel, hoping Galloway would sleep off his intoxication. Galloway attempted to escape the room by climbing out the window. Having climbed out the window onto a ledge, he tried to jump to a nearby balcony. Although he caught the balcony railings with his hands, one hand gave way and he fell.〔〔 Galloway was buried in Toowong Cemetery the following day, 13 January 1895.〔(Galloway William McNaughton ) — Brisbane City Council Grave Location Search. Retrieved 8 September 2012.〕 He was survived by his wife Anne. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William McNaughton Galloway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
