Lambton County, Ontario Canada Parliamentary Representatives

Parliamentary Representatives
It is only when one delves into the history of the County that it is discovered what a prominent place her sons and her representatives have held, not only locally but in provincial affairs. Space forbids us (neither is it the aim of this book), to carry Biographical sketches, but it is questionable if there is any other county in the Dominion, that can show such a record especially one that has had as representatives or an official, two Prime Ministers of Canada, one prime minister of the Province of Ontario, and several Cabinet Ministers.
