Arunah Dunlop

While his tenure in the legislature was cut short by his death, it kickstarted a rare three-generation political lineage, with both his son and a grandson elected to the legislature and served in cabinet.

• His son Edward Arunah Dunlop reclaimed the Renfrew North seat through a byelection in 1903, served three non-consecutive stints in the legislature, and joined the ministry of Premier Howard Ferguson in 1929, the third MPP from Renfrew to serve in cabinet. He was promoted to head the Provincial Treasury in 1930, and continued to serve in the role under Premier George Henry until his own passing on New Year's Day of 1934.^[1]
• His grandson, also named Edward Arunah Dunlop, who was honoured with both orders of Canada and British Empire and the first President of Toronto Sun, was elected to the legislature as MPP for Forest Hill in 1963 and was appointed a minister without portfolio by Premier Bill Davis in 1971^[2] despite having already announced thg year prior his pending retirement.^[3]
