Albert Wilson Bee III was the son of Albert II, who kept stationery stores in Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor, where he had a summer home.
The Bees were an enterprising family. Albert I was famous for his early pioneering in the Gold Fields of California, while his brother championed the rights of Chinese workers on the railroads there.
Albert III became an engineer and helped to build the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair and to extend the tracks for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad.
