James O'Neil Mayne
James O'Neil Mayne (January 21 1861-January 31 1938) was the son of Patrick Mayne, and is best remembered for his donation of funds to purchase land for the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland. His contribution is remembered on campus with the naming of Mayne Hall in his honour.
Weighed down by his father's death-bed admission of murder for which he let another man hang, and with apparently genetic problems of insanity among the siblings the story of this generation of the Mayne family is long and complicated. James had no children, and was survived only by his sister Mary Emelia (1858-1940) who died with no children of her own.
