Politician George Perry Graham [1859–1943] was born in Eganville, Ontario. He became a member of the Ontario Legislature in 1898, and served there until 1907, when he was elected to the House of Commons. He was appointed Minister of Railways and Canals, and became Minister of Militia Defence and Minister of Naval Service in 1922. In 1925 he was appointed to His Majesty’s Privy Council and in 1926 to the Canadian senate.
This feature was personally selected in 1934 by the Honorable T. D. Pattulo, Premier of British Columbia, “… to be named Mount George Graham after Colonel the Right Honorable George Perry Graham, PC, LLD.”
