USA/Thailand: Dr Marion Alonzo Cheek (14 July 1853 - 1895), physician and businessman in Chiang Mai, 1875-1895. Born in Orange County, North Carolina, Marion Alonzo Cheek graduated in medicine from medical school before being recruited by the Presbyterian missionary Daniel McGilvary to work with the protestant mission in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, in 1874. Cheek's relationship with McGilvary and the mission soon turned sour, but Cheek - who was more interested in making money and enjoying the good life - soon set himself up as a businessman in the local lumber business.
