Lloyd Harris

Lloyd Harris (March 14, 1867 – September 27, 1925) was a businessman and political figure in Ontario, Canada. He represented Brantford in the Canadian House of Commons from 1908 to 1911 as a Liberal.[1]

He was born in Beamsville, Ontario, the son of John Harris and Alice Jane Tufford, and was educated in Brantford and Woodstock. He joined A. Harris, Son & Co. Ltd., a firm established by his grandfather Alanson Harris which manufactured farm equipment and later became part of Massey-Harris. He was president of a number of companies, including the Canada Glue Company, the Brantford Screw Company and the Harris Trust Company.

Harris served on the town council for Brantford from 1905 to 1906. He was married twice: to Mary Catherine Perkins in 1887 and to Evelyn Frances Blackmore in 1896. Harris was nominated as a candidate for the 1925 federal election but died in Brantford before the election was held.[2]
