Edwin Lee Neil CBE (13 October 1872 – 17 December 1934) was an Australian businessman.
During World War One there was a shortage of men and Neil recognised the ability of Adeline May Keating.
[1] Their son, Alan, served as a medical missionary with the South Seas Evangelical Mission and later became co-founder of a group known as the Fellowship.
[4] The Australian Dictionary of Biography describes Neil as a "tall, careful, religious, conservative man" and suggests that his "caution, business connexions and experience" complemented Sidney Myer's "intuitive flair and energy".
[1] Wei-Han Kuan notes that Neil was "capable and energetic both in mission societies and in diocesan affairs".
