Louis de Gonzague Belley

Louis de Gonzague Belley, born on February third, eighteen sixty-three, in St-Alexis de la Grande Baie, Canada East, was a prominent figure in Canadian politics. Initially trained as a lawyer, he made his mark in the political arena when he was acclaimed to the House of Commons of Canada at the young age of twenty-nine, representing the Quebec riding of Chicoutimi—Saguenay during a by-election in eighteen ninety-two.

A member of the Conservative Party, Belley's political career faced challenges, including a defeat in the federal election of eighteen ninety-six. However, his dedication to public service was evident when he was appointed Postmaster General in September nineteen twenty-one under the cabinet of Prime Minister Arthur Meighen.

Despite his contributions, Belley faced another setback when he was defeated in the federal election of nineteen twenty-one. His life came to a close on July ninth, nineteen thirty, at his home in Quebec City, leaving behind a legacy of commitment to his community and country.
