Edmond Stanislas Aubry
Edmond Stanislas Aubry (July 29, 1860 – October 19, 1936) was a physician, surgeon and politician in Quebec.[1] He served as mayor of Hull from 1893 to 1895 and from 1905 to 1906.[2]
The son of Stanislas Aubry and Elmire Biroleau dit Lafleur, he was born in Sainte-Scholastique (later known as Mirabel), Canada East. In 1888, he married Marie-Antoinette Charron. With three other doctors, Aubry founded the Association Médicale du Comté d'Ottawa in 1908 and served as its president.[1] He was a member of Hull municipal council from 1888 to 1892 and from 1899 to 1900.[2] Aubry was the first mayor elected by popular vote; earlier mayors had been elected by a vote of the council.[1]
In 1908, he built a large residence in Hull which is now considered a heritage building. From 1919 to 1929, part of the building was rented to a bank, the Banque de Hochelaga. Aubry also owned property in Templeton, Low and Bouchette townships.[1]
Place Aubry and Rue Aubry in Gatineau were named in his honour.[3]
