Canadian Lumberman and Senator Dies 



The death took place in Ottawa a few days ago of Senator W. C. 

 Edwards, a prominent Canadian lumberman and uncle of Gordon C. 

 Edwards of Ottawa, a former president of the National Wholesale Lumber 

 Dealers' Association. Deceased was born in 1S44 in Russell County, 



Ontario, of English parentage, and was appointed to the senate iu 1903. 

 In 1868 he founded the business of W. C. Edwards & Co., lumber manu- 

 facturers, of which he was president at the time of his death. He was 

 also president of the Canada Cement Company, the Bathurst Lumber 

 Company of New Brunswick and of the Ottawa & Hull Power Manufactur- 

 ing Company, a director of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the 

 Toronto General Trusts Corporation. From 1887 to 1903 the Hon. Mr. 

 Edwards represented Russell Couuty in the House of Commons as a Liberal. 

 In the business world Senator Edwards will perhaps be best rememl)ered 

 by the jjart he played in the sixty million dollar paper merger with the 

 Riordan Pulp & Paper Company, which took place last year, when the 

 interests of W. C. Edwards, Gllmour & Hughson, the Ticonderoga Pulp 

 & Paper Company and the Kipawa Compauy were sold. For several years 

 Senator Edwards had been suffering from heart trouble, but only during the 

 last month had his health been seriously impaired. 



Because of Senator Edwards' close connection with the Nati">nal Whole- 

 sale Lumber Dealers' Association, through his nei)hew and his own affairs. 

 John W. McClurc, president of the association, sent M. E. Preisch of North 

 Tonawanda, N. Y., to the funeral as official representative of the asso- 

 ciation. 



Senator Edwards had several times addressed annual bauquet> of the 

 association and was well known by its members.
