Edwards, Elizabeth (1914- ) : Elizabeth Edwards was born in 1914, the daughter of Gordon Cameron Edwards, who was in turn the nephew of W. C. Edwards, lumber merchant, Member of Parliament, and Canadian senator. Gordon Edwards, also a lumber merchant, was born in November 1866 in Thurso. He became a member of First Baptist Church of Ottawa in June 1883, and was a generous benefactor to the church throughout his life. Among his many accomplishments: he helped to found the Laurentian Club in 1904; he was Liberal Member of Parliament for the City of Ottawa, 1926-1930; he was part of a group of Baptist businessmen who, in 1928, pledged financial support of Brandon College. He was also a director of many companies, including the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Canada Cement Company, Canadian International Paper Company, and the Ottawa Valley Trust Company. Throughout his life, Mr. Edwards acquired a fine art collection, the best of which was purchased after his death by the Director of the National Gallery, who, according to Mr. Edwards' cousin, Florence, went to Prime Minister Mackenzie King personally for authorization. Miss Edwards inherited many works of art from her father, and they have remained in her hands until their donation to LAC.

Edwards, lumber merchant, Member of Parliament, and Canadian senator. W.C. Edwards had owned lumber mills in Hawkesbury, Gatineau, and elsewhere in the Ottawa valley. Gordon Edwards, also a lumber merchant, was born in November 1866 in Thurso. He became a member of First Baptist Church of Ottawa in June 1883, and was a generous benefactor to the church throughout his life. Among his many accomplishments: he helped to found the Laurentian Club in 1904; he was Liberal Member of Parliament for the City of Ottawa, 1926-1930; he was part of a group of Baptist businessmen who, in 1928, pledged financial support of Brandon College. He was also a director of many companies, including the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Canada Cement Company, Canadian International Paper Company, and the Ottawa Valley Trust Company.

Throughout his life, Mr. Edwards acquired a fine art collection, the best of which was purchased after his death by the Director of the National Gallery, who, according to Mr. Edwards' cousin, Florence, went to Prime Minister Mackenzie King personally for authorization.
