Charles Bruce Edie

Farmer, MLA (1882-1883), hotelier.
Born in Ontario in 1842, son of Charles and Jane L. Edie, at the time of the 1881 census he was farming in the Rural Municipality of Springfield with his wife Catherine Edie (1858-?) and their two children: Charlotte M. Edie (1878-?) and David Edie (1881-?).
Elected to the Manitoba Legislature for the Springfield constituency at a by-election in August 1882, replacing Arthur Wellington Ross, he did not take his seat before he was defeated in a general election in 1883. Later that year, he was appointed Assessment Commissioner for the Eastern Judicial District. He later moved to Brandon where he was proprietor of the Edie House, a public house, until his death.
He died suddenly at Brandon on 8 February 1888.
