I started an entry: William Bailey Howland (1848-1917), was the editor of The Outlook, publisher of The Independent, and The Countryside Magazine, and president of the Independent Corporation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bailey_Howland George William Burleigh (April 18, 1870 - March 15, 1940) was a Colonel in the US Army who commanded the Ninth Coast Defense. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_William_Burleigh John Aikman Stewart (August 26, 1822 - December 18, 1926) was a New York City banker who during the presidency of Grover Cleveland replenished the nation's gold supply by issuing new bonds. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Aikman_Stewart

I can't find any other photos of him, but this is probably the Charles Thomas Mills (1887-1915) who was a member of the British Parliament, for Uxbridge, from 1910 until 1915. Wikipedia stub. A bit of information Wikipedia lacks is that C.T. Mills was the grandson of Charles Henry Mills (1830-1898), 1st Baron Hillingdon, and the eldest son of Charles William Mills (1855-1919), 2nd Baron Hillingdon, and would have succeeded to the title had he not predeceased his father. His younger brother, Arthur Robert Mills (1891-1955) became 3rd Baron Hillingdon. The Mills family were partners in the banking firm Glyn, Mills & Co.

The NYT article on May 6, 1913 {{http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9404E7D91F3AE633A25755C0A9639C946296D6CF}} indicates that Neil Primrose M.P.

Arthur Lawley, 6th Baron Wenlock, GCIE, KCMG (12 November 1860–14 June 1932) was Governor of Western Australia from 1901 to 1902. He also worked as lieutenant governor of Transvaal from 1902 to 1905. The Perth suburb of Mount Lawley is named after him. Lawley was a son of the 2nd Baron Wenlock (1818–1880) and he served with the 10th Hussars, rising to the rank of Captain. On 15 October 1885, he married Annie Cunard, a daughter of Sir Edward Cunard, 2nd Baronet and they had three children: Hon. Margaret Cecilia Lawley (d. 1969) Hon. Richard Edward Lawley (9 May 1887–4 September 1909), killed in India in a hunting accident. Hon. Ursula Mary Lawley (born 8 June 1888–16 October 1979) He succeeded as Baron Wenlock on the death of his elder brother, the 5th Baron, who died without male heirs (as did his other two elder brothers), on 14 June 1931. Lawley died exactly a year later in 1932 in Freiberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany and as he also did not have any male heirs, his title became extinct. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Lawley
