Notes Educated as a teacher in Ottawa. In 1886, he went to Australia, and for a while became associate editor of the Sydney Morning Herald. He also traveled extensively in the Pacific, Europe, Asia, Egypt, the South Sea Islands and subsequently in northern Canada. In the early nineties, he began to gain a growing reputation in London as a writer of romantic fiction. In December 1895 he married Miss Amy VanTine of New York City, a wealthy heiress, daughter of Ashley VanTine. His Canadian connection and his experience in Australia and elsewhere had made him a strong Imperialist in politics, and from that time he began to devote himself in large measure to a political career. He was elected to the British House of Commons as a Conservative member for Gravesend in 1900 and remained MP until 1918. He was knighted in the 1902 Coronation Honours for his service to Canadian literature. He died in London (England) on 6 September 1932 and on 26 September he was buried in Belleville, Ontario. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Gilbert_Parker,_1st_Baronet
