William Wallace (February 4, 1820 – August 28, 1887) was a Canadian journalist and political figure. He represented Norfolk South in the Canadian House of Commons from 1872 to 1882 as a Conservative member. He was born near Galston, Ayrshire, Scotland, the son of John Wallace, and came to Canada around 1840. Wallace settled at Simcoe, Ontario and established a newspaper there, the ''British Canadian'', as well as operating a printing business. He also opened a bookstore and occupied various posts associated with railways. Wallace served on the school board for Simcoe and also served as reeve, mayor and as a member of the council for Norfolk County. In 1852, he married Mary Ann Kent. He did not run in the 1874 general election but won a by-election later that same year after the election was appealed. Wallace was defeated in 1882. == References == * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Wallace (Canadian politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
