Although many of the American first-class passengers came from the eastern States, there were others aboard who hailed from slightly further afield. Among them were Colonel George Dennick Wick, his second wife Mary (or 'Mollie'), and his daughter by his first marriage, Natalie. They had been on holiday in England and were returning home with two of their relations, Lily and Caroline Bonnell.
George Wick was a very prominent industrialist in Youngstown, Ohio, and he rates his own illustrated entry on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_D._Wick It seems that, like his more famous ship-mate John Jacob Astor, Wick had earned his military title serving as ADC to Governor Asa Bushnell during the Spanish-American War. In 1906, he built an elegant, Georgian-style mansion for his family. This now sits on the campus of the Youngstown State University and serves as the headquarters of the Disability Services office for that institution.
