Benjamin McConnell

Benjamin McConnell

Benjamin James McConnell (September 28 1861—February 15 1923) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1907 to 1914, as a member of the Liberal Party.

McConnell was born in north Renfrew County, Canada West (now Ontario). He was educated at Pembroke, and studied medicine in Kingston. He later moved to Manitoba to practice medicine, and settled in Morden in 1885.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1907 provincial election, defeating Conservative incumbent George Ashdown by 90 votes in the Morden constituency. He was re-elected in the 1910 election. Both elections were won by the Conservatives, and McConnell served as an opposition member for his entire tenure in the legislature. He did not seek re-election in 1914.

McConnell died in Winnipeg, aged 61.
