George William Mackay (born January 22, 1882) was a Canadian missionary in Taiwan and a son of George Leslie Mackay,[1] father of J. Ross Mackay.
Taiwanese name
Mackay's Taiwanese name is 偕叡廉. It is from his father's first name 偕. In Yilan County, Taiwan, George Leslie Mackay preached to the people and built a church.
Life
He was born in Tamsui, Taiwan and graduated from Clark University with a master's degree in Education Management.
He served as President of the Tamkang Junior High School, which he subsequently merged with Tamsui Girls School. After his father's death, he changed Tamsui Girls School from a junior high school to a kindergarten.
Tomb
Mackay may have died in Canada or possibly in Taiwan, where he may have been buried in Tamsui at the Mackay family's tomb next to Tamkang Junior High. The tomb may have since been removed.[2]
