Arthur Hill Gillmor (March 12, 1824 – April 13, 1903) was a Canadian farmer,

lumberman and Liberal politician from New Brunswick. Mr. Gillmor sat in New

Brunswick's House of Assembly for five terms and gained a reputation for integrity.

The last of these mandates was as provincial secretary in Albert James Smith's

government, which had run on a platform opposing Confederation. When the Smith

government was defeated in the 1866 election, Gillmor left politics for a time to

concentrate on business. After Confederation, he represented the riding of

Charlotte, New Brunswick in the House of Commons of Canada from 1874 to 1896.

He was a strong candidate for the office of Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick in 1899, being endorsed by his

former political opponents as well as supporters but did not secure the appointment. He was subsequently

appointed Canadian commissioner to the World's Fair at Paris. He was appointed to the Senate by Sir Wilfrid

Laurier in 1900, where he served until his death in 1903, when he died on a train in Mattawamkeag, Maine while

en route to Ottawa after a return trip to his hometown of St. George. Mr. Gillmor is buried in the St. George Rural

Cemetery, in St. George, New Brunswick.

The East End Emigration Society was founded in London in 1882 by Rev. John

Fenwick Kitto (Church of England). It was also known as the East End Emigration

Fund. The Society sent indigent families, as well as older boys and girls, to Canada and

assisted with settlement and employment. The East End Emigration Society

amalgamated with the Self-Help Emigration Society, and in 1913, it was renamed the

British Dominions Emigration Society. During the 1920s, the emigration work of the

society was subsidized by the British government through the provisions of the Empire

Settlement Act. The Society sent immigrants to the Andrews Home in Montreal, which also worked with other

societies and was later associated with the White Star Line. The Toronto office closed in 1932. The Society also

sent emigrants to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
