- I want to learn more about the motivation of my great-great-great-grandpa, William Keeney Bixby, that led to his philanthropic work and the decisions behind other projects that he spent his money on.
- How do entrepreneurs, like William Keeney Bixby, decide how to invest their money?
- How did W.K. Bixby acquire the money he was able to spend? What philanthropic work did W.K. Bixby participate in? How much of his money was contributed to philanthropic work? How much of his money was invested into more personal projects, such as his housing and summer homes?
- He did a lot of work in St. Louis, so I plan on using the libraries and museum websites that are based in the St. Louis area. One of my relatives, also related to W.K. Bixby, wrote a biography on him, so I will refer to that for specific details. I also plan on talking to members of my family who know a more extensive history about W.K. In addition to using the sources I listed above, I will try to find news articles referring to W.K.’s work and his economic success.
