  • Notes 
    • William Elliott was born in North Dumfries Township. He took over the family farm in 1904 and was well known as a breeder of Clydesdale horses and Tamworth hogs.

      He was educated at Stone School, S.S. No. 19, Galt Collegiate Institute, and the Ontario Agricultural College and became a Farmer's Institute lecturer, and a livestock judge at fairs throughout Canada. During 1913-14 he was a member of a Board of Adjudicators appointed to assess damage to crops caused by smelters at Sudbury.

      As a member of North Dumfries Township Council and reeve in 1921 he ran for Parliament and served for South Waterloo from 1921 to 1925, representing a Farmer-Labour coalition formed in protest against the Union Government which had survived the World War I.

      In an executive capacity he served the Ontario Agricultural and Experimental Union (1924), the South Waterloo Liberal Association, the Central Dumfries Farmers Club and the North Dumfries Plowmen's Association. He was also a member of the Galt Suburban Roads Commission.
