• Notes

  William Norman Hancock was born in Galt. He graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1914 and worked with the practice of Clement R. Hanning in Preston. When Mr. Hanning became a county judge, Mr. Hancock continued along in the practice and served as the town's solicitor for a number of years. He left for 10 years to be the solicitor of the Workmen's Compensation Board in Toronto and returned to take over the management of the Narrow Fabric Weaving and Dyeing Ltd. In 1953 he returned to law and a year later was named a Queen's Council. In 1964 he was made a honorary member of the Law Society of Upper Canada marking 50 years in the practice of law. He served on Galt council, the board of education, as well as a number of other institutions and charities. He was named Galt's Citizen of the Year in 1964, dying a year later.
