Arthur Delisle

Arthur Delisle, born on March fifteenth, eighteen fifty-nine, was a prominent lawyer and political figure in Quebec. He hailed from Portneuf, Canada East, where he was raised by his parents, Jean Delisle and Anathalie Frenette. Delisle pursued his education at Laval, the Séminaire de Québec, and the Université Laval, ultimately being admitted to the Quebec bar in eighteen eighty-three. He established his legal practice in Quebec City, where he began to make a name for himself.

In eighteen ninety, Delisle married Blanche Hudon, marking a significant personal milestone in his life. His political career took off when he represented Portneuf in the House of Commons of Canada from eighteen ninety-one to eighteen ninety-six as a member of the Liberal party. During this time, he also contributed to the political discourse as one of the editors for l'Union Libérale.

After his tenure in the House of Commons, Delisle relocated to Montreal in eighteen ninety-six, where he continued his legal practice. His expertise and reputation in the legal field earned him the title of King's Counsel in eighteen ninety-eight. Although he ran unsuccessfully for the same seat in the House of Commons in nineteen oh-eight as an Independent Liberal, his influence in the community remained strong.

In nineteen twenty-nine, Delisle was appointed registrar for the bankruptcy court in the Montreal district, further solidifying his legacy in the legal profession. He passed away in Montreal at the age of seventy-seven, leaving behind a rich history of public service and legal achievement.
