Pioneer farmer.
Born at Truro, Nova Scotia on 26 June 1849, he taught school for a time then, in 1882, he moved to Manitoba with his brother Isaac and established a homestead near the new community of Melgund which, when the Canadian Pacific Railway laid track through the area and established a station, was renamed Lauder. In 1874, he married Maria Martin Winton (1851-1937) and they had nine children: Margaret Frances Logan (1876-1974), Orton Edward Logan (1877-1965), Augusta Alberta Richmond Logan (1881-1971), Mary Ann Tremaine Logan (1882-1970), Maria Teressa Winton Logan (1885-1984), John William Gow Logan (1886-1916, killed in the First World War), Robert Fulton Logan, Lois Ada Dalrymple Logan, and Aline Duthie Logan (1893-1986).
