Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Sinclair, Charles Robertson, 1845-1931 : C.R. Sinclair was a farmer, businessman and lumber dealer in his home county of Glengarry, Ontario, until a depression in the industry, and a desire to try his luck in the West, took him in 1881 to Winnipeg where he again entered the lumber industry. Poor business conditions in 1907 and his inclination to farming led him to settle on a homestead near Camrose, Alberta in 1908. After his retirement he lived in Calgary where he died.
