Show detail Hide detail

Belcher, Alexander Emerson, 1844-1926 : Alexander Emerson Belcher, born in 1844 near Toronto, Ontario, received his education from Rockwood Academy and the Royal Military School at Toronto, Ontario. Prior to entering the provincial public service, he was engaged in banking and business, and had been connected with the Commercial Travellers' Association, which he helped found. He had also been the Mayor of Southampton, Ontario for a period and had served during the Fenian raids in the voluntary military force, retiring in 1906 with the rank of lieutenant-colonel.

Alexander Belcher was a prominent Conservative, and after 1911, an Ontario civil servant in the Registrar General's Department. His active interest in history was evident, from his involvement with the Bruce Historical Society of which he had served with as president.
