Peter Francis Martin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Francis Martin (January 13, 1856 – May 2, 1935) was a contractor and political figure in Nova Scotia, Canada. He represented Halifax in the House of Commons of Canada from 1917 to 1921 as a Unionist Party member. Martin was elected by acclamation in the Khaki Election of 1917; in Halifax, the election was postponed after the Halifax Explosion and Martin's Liberal opponent withdrew in a show of post-explosion unity.[1] Martin replaced Prime Minister Robert Borden, who had run (and won) in Kings County.[2] Martin sat for Halifax division in the Senate of Canada from 1921 to 1935 as a Conservative.[3]

He was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the son of Francis Martin, and was educated there. Martin married Elizabeth C. Sullivan. He served 18 years on Halifax city council[4] and was mayor from 1915 to 1918. The Halifax Explosion occurred during this term as mayor,[5] although he was absent from the city when the explosion happened because he was campaigning with other Maritimes candidates for his parliamentary seat.[6] Martin died in office in Halifax at the age of 79.[4]
