attention and the cooperation of Mr. Young was the principle of
free trade. He was one of its most stalwart champions, and upon
the organization of the Free Trade Association in this city he
became its president. He was a frequent contributor of articles
upon the subject to the Economist and to other papers and also
wrote pamphlets which had an important effect upon public thought
and action. He believed that the adoption of free trade measures
would constitute the most effective force in making Canada a
great commercial and business center. At times in his life his
ideas were ridiculed as those of a dreamer, but the years proved
the soundness of his vision and men came to rely upon his opinion.
His connection with the harbor work and the improvement of the
channel between Montreal and Quebec began in 1846 and later
occupied much of his time and attention. He was active, too, with
those who were foremost in furthering the railroad built, and
he was one of the organizers of the Montreal & Portland Railway
Company and also active in promoting the line from Montreal to
Toronto, as president of the company having that in charge. The
work was of a most difficult nature, for the promoters had to
solve at least in part the great engineering problems of railroad
building and not merely finance the project. It was Mr. Young
who proposed the building of a bridge across the St. Lawrence.
Again well known business men scoffed at the plan but the
Victoria bridge stands as a monument to his public spirit and his
enterprise, and has converted Montreal from a fifth rate harbor
into a first class port at a distance from the seaboard without
a parallel in the world. Mr. Young’s keen appreciation of the
capabilities of engineering as a profession and his confidence in
the application of education and trained reason to the overcoming
of all natural and mechanical difficulties which always was
noticeable in his intercourse with the professional men with
whom his life brought him into contact, was beyond doubt one of
the most effective means of securing consideration for this work
and of urging on the genius of Stephenson to an achievement then
supposed to be impossible. Men believed Mr. Young to be visionary
when he attempted the task of sounding the river that he might
point out the exact situation where the bridge should be built
and which it actually occupies. It was at about the same period
that he devised a plan for the Caughnawaga canal whereby to
connect the St. Lawrence river and Lake Champlain and thus secure
another outlet to the sea. His efforts were a notable force in
making Montreal a grain shipping center and when the St. Lawrence
canals were opened in 1849 he sent the first cargo of merchandise
from Montreal to Chicago and brought back the first cargo of
American grain. The rapid growth of shipping at this point and
certain trouble that arose concerning the unloading of vessels
impressed upon Mr. Young the need of a harbor police and he
presented the matter so forcefully to the government that a water
police force was created.
In 1851 Mr. Young by popular suffrage was made the representative
of his district in parliament and in October of that year became
chief commissioner of public works and a member of the board
of railway commissioners in the Hincks-Tache administration.
He advocated the building of a railroad from Halifax to Quebec
and Montreal and thence westward. His plans were not adopted at
that time and only came to fruition in 1877. In the same year he
strongly urged the establishment of a fortnightly mail service
between Montreal and Liverpool in the summer and between Portland
and Liverpool in the winter. In 1854 he was again made the
Montreal representative in parliament, where he entered earnestly
upon the work of chairman of the committee on public accounts.
In 1857 he declined to again stand for parliament, but it was
impossible for one of his nature to retire from public life so
conscientious was he regarding the duties of citizenship. In 1860
he retired from business with a handsome fortune and the same
year was chosen chairman of the committee of arrangements for the
most gigantic and successful series of entertainments ever held
in Montreal up to that time on the occasion of the visit of His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, afterward King Edward. About
that time Mr. Young went to Scotland for the further education of
his family, returning in 1862. In 1863 he was the nominee of the
liberal party for Montreal West, but was defeated. In that year,
however, he was made a commissioner to Washington to consider the
reciprocity treaty.
All of these activities, although important, were less so than
his life work in making Montreal a seaport and improving the
navigation of the St. Lawrence. No other single project has so
greatly benefited the city and this section of the country. The
name of the Hon. John Young will always be connected with its
successful accomplishment and he is entitled to the grateful
remembrance of the citizens of Montreal for all time. He had
the opportunity of furthering his projects and plans of this
kind through his membership on the harbor board. As the result
of his efforts Montreal ceased to be a mere landing place for
boatmen and became a great shipping port. He had the greatest
faith in the possibilities of the growth of Montreal and with
it the progress of the Dominion and urged that this would be
brought about through the development of the St. Lawrence, which
he claimed to be the natural outlet for the western part of the
United States as well as for the products of western Canada.
As the result of his untiring labors in 1843 the government
determined to deepen Lake St. Peter but very little was done
until 1851. In 1854 Mr. Young entered upon active measures to
promote the work and by persistent efforts the channel was
deepened to sixteen feet in 1857 and still further the work
was continued until the channel depth became twenty-two feet.
Statistics could be cited showing how year by year the shipping
was increased after the work of river and harbor improvements
was begun. No other man did as much as Mr. Young in urging
these great improvements of the water communications connecting
Montreal with the sea. In all of his public service he looked
beyond the exigencies of the moment to the possibilities and
opportunities of the future, beyond the needs of his city
and immediate district to the questions affecting the entire
Dominion. In 1875 he served as chairman of the Baie Verte canal
commission and returned a most exhaustive and valuable report. He
was also the promoter of dock extension and secured the services
of the most eminent engineers of Europe and America to carry
forward the work.
Mr. Young’s prominence as a business man and public-spirited
citizen is further indicated in the fact that he was many times
elected president of the Montreal Board of Trade and was the
first president of the Dominion Board of Trade. After he had long
retired from parliament the members induced him to once more
stand for election, and he was returned by a most flattering
majority. In 1873 he would not consent to again become a
candidate and on the reorganization of the harbor board he was
reelected its chairman. His entire service on the board covered
a quarter of a century and during fourteen years of that time he
was chairman. His last public service was as commissioner for
Canada to the exposition in Sydney, Australia, whereby trade
relations between Canada and Australia were largely promoted as
the result of the reports which he made concerning the latter
country.
Time gives the perspective which places each individual in
his proper relation to his age. It is a well known fact that
investigation will but serve to heighten the fame of John Young,
for history has proven how valuable were his efforts, how far
reaching his activities, how clear his insight and how sound
his judgment. Today his name is inscribed high on the roll of
Montreal’s honored dead, while his memory is enshrined in the
hearts of many who knew him.
JOHN GORDON.
John Gordon, founder of the wholesale dry-goods commission
house of John Gordon & Son, of Montreal, was born in Aberdeen,
Scotland, December 12, 1833. He was a young man of twenty years
when in 1853 he came to Montreal to enter the employ of the
old and well known firm of William Stephen & Company. He was
afterward a member of the firm of James Roy & Company and from
December, 1891, until his death, which occurred on the 12th of
October, 1895, he was at the head of the wholesale house of John
Gordon & Son. His advancement was continuous, and the steps in
his orderly progression are easily discernible. His career was
one of constantly broadening activity, and his developing powers
contributed to the importance and extent of his achievements.
Few men have gained higher esteem and respect, and he left to
his family the rich heritage of an untarnished name, won through
business integrity and kindly courtesy, constituting an example
that others might profitably emulate.

[Illustration: JOHN GORDON]
Mr. Gordon was a member of the Board of Trade and was interested
in municipal affairs to the extent of giving hearty cooperation
to various plans and projects for the public good. His life was
actuated in its purposes by his Christian faith, which found
expression in his membership in the Erskine Presbyterian church.
Mr. Gordon married Miss Jane Roy, a daughter of James Roy, and
they became parents of three sons, Charles B., James R. and
William G. R. The second named, who was his father’s partner in
the firm of John Gordon & Son and is now head of the business,
was born in Montreal, January 7, 1870, and pursued his education
in this city. Making his initial step in the business world, he
was for four years with the house of George D. Ross & Company,
manufacturers’ agents, and in 1891 he joined his father in
organizing the firm and instituting the business of John Gordon
& Son. The establishment remains today as one of the foremost
wholesale dry-goods commission houses of Montreal, with trade
connections that lead to all provinces of the Dominion.
James R. Gordon was married to Miss Catherine McIntyre, and they
have three children, J. Archibald, J. Kenneth and Bruce McIntyre.
Mr. Gordon’s deep interest in the material development of the
city is indicated in his membership in the Board of Trade and the
Chambre de Commerce. He is also a member of St. James and other
clubs.
DAVID ROSS MCCORD.
The unusual gifts of ready wit and great culture of David Ross
McCord have made him a man of influence not only in the legal
profession but in connection with various important public events
and questions. Montreal numbers him among her native sons, his
birth having occurred in this city March 18, 1844. The ancestry
of the family in Canada is traced back to John McCord, who came
from Antrim, Ireland, during the early settlement of the province
of Quebec. The father of David R. McCord was the late Lieutenant
Colonel Hon. John Samuel McCord, who became a judge of the
superior court of Lower Canada and was recognized as one of the
distinguished jurists of his day. He married Anne, a daughter of
David Ross, an advocate of Montreal.
In the acquirement of his education David R. McCord attended
successively the Montreal high school, McGill University, which
conferred upon him the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1862 and the
degrees of Master of Arts and Bachelor of Civil Law in 1867; and
Bishop’s Collegiate University of Lennoxville, which conferred
upon him the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1864. In 1868 he was
called to the bar and entered at once upon active practice. In
1895 he was created king’s counselor by the Earl of Aberdeen.
From the outset of his professional career his advancement has
been continuous and long since he has reached a foremost position
among the advocates of Montreal. He finds ready and correct
solution for intricate and involved legal problems and possesses
rare analytical and inductive powers.
The question of public policy as set forth by the political
parties of the day are of deep interest to him and at one time he
was secretary of the Liberal-Conservative Association. For many
years he served as one of the aldermen of Montreal and exercised
his official prerogatives in support of various measures and
movements for the benefit and improvement of the city. In 1901
he advocated the appointment of a Canadian as governor general
of the Dominion. Aside from his interest in his profession and
the public questions of the day he has been a close student of
natural history and has formed at his residence the nucleus of
a natural museum. His religious faith is that of the Anglican
church. Today his opinions are accepted as authority upon all
matters relating to the annals of the country and of him the
Montreal Herald said: “He probably has a more intimate knowledge
of early Canadian history than any other man living.” His
studious habits have brought him familiarity with a wide range
of subjects, and his scholarly attainments have gained him place
among the respected and honored residents of Montreal.

Transcriber’s Notes:
Each illustration page was followed by a blank page, both of
which were numbered. These are the sources of the apparently
missing pages. No pages are actually missing. Some illustrations
have been moved a page or two forward or backward to co-locate
them with the appropriate biography, or to remove them from the
middle of a paragraph.
Commas and periods missed by either the printer or the scanning
process were added. Commas and periods interchanged by the
printer were corrected.
Several proper names, printed inconsistently, were made
consistent:
Francois, Francoise, Francais and Francais were normalized to
François, Françoise, Français and Française
Pointe aux Trembles was normalized to Pointe-aux-Trembles.
Lotbinere and Lotbiniére were normalized to Lotbinière.
Accents on other proper names were are unchanged from the
original.
Smallpox and small-pox were inconsistently hyphenated in multiple
places and so were left as printed.
Accents and other diacritical marks do not appear over or under
capital letters, and were not added.
Some words which appear incorrect today have been acceptable
spellings in the past. These words (e.g. employe, malster,
Hainout, Scotish, threshhold, etc.) were left as printed. Words
which are rendered with more typically French spelling, such as
“interne” reflect the significant French influence on the English
of the time and place and are therefore not corrected to standard
English spellings. Similarly, accents on French words used in
English text are very frequently omitted, and they have not been
added except as noted below.
Capitalization of the words “street”,“place”,“lane” and “avenue”,
when part of proper names was inconsistent, and corrected. Other
proper names lacking capitalization were corrected.
The following proper names are probably incorrect, but as that is
not certain, they are unchanged:
On page 280, Latour dit Dufour is probably Dufour dit Latour
On page 394, Moorwinstow is probably Morwenstow
On page 484, LsRaoul de Lorimer is probably Louis-Raoul de Lorimer
On page 598, Port Elain is probably Port Elgin
On pages 531-532, Hon. J. Ald Ouimet is probably Hon. J. Alderic
Ouimet.
There are several places where words appear to be missing.
They were added only when the missing word was certain and are
included in the following list of corrected printer’s errors.
“mediaeval” was changed to “mediæval” on page 69 to match other
instances in the volume (during those mediæval times)

other instances in the volume (could scarcely be overestimated)
