Biography
Frank Stanfield Sr is Notable.
Frank Stanfield was an entrepreneur and political figure in Nova Scotia, Canada. He represented Colchester County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1911 to 1920 and from 1925 to 1928 as a Conservative member. Stanfield was the 15th Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia from 1930 to 1931.
He was born in Truro, Nova Scotia, the son of Charles E. Stanfield, who established the Stanfield Mills in Truro, and Lydia Dawson. Their family lived in Truro, Colchester, Nova Scotia.[1]
In 1896, with his brother John, he took over the operation of the business, which was incorporated as Stanfield's Limited in 1906. Its "unshrinkable" underwear, developed in 1898, became popular with gold prospectors in the Yukon. The company expanded to be one of the largest producers of woollen goods in Canada.
He married Sarah Thomas in 1901.[2][3]
He was named Lieutenant Governor in 1930 but died in office in Halifax the following year at the age of 59.[4][5]
