Ernest Wood (Manitoba politician)

Ernest Jameson Wood (September 2, 1862 – after 1897) was an English-born farmer and political figure in Manitoba. He represented Cypress from 1888 to 1892 in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Conservative.

He was born in Stoke, the son of Reverend Wood, the rector at Grindon.[1] In 1889, he married Evelyn Louise Jones.[2] Wood was defeated when he ran for reelection to the Manitoba assembly in 1892.[3] Later that year, he was named an agent for the Manitoba government stationed in Birmingham to promote immigration. After this appointment ended in 1897, he trained as a clergyman at Lichfield Theological College.[4]
