Biographical history
George Edmund Buchanan (1875-1941) and Elizabeth Frances (Lilla) Clarke (1878-1973) were married in Pembroke, Ontario in 1916. They lived their entire married life together (1916-1941) in the city of Sudbury. George Buchanan, a resident of Sudbury since 1901, was a law partner of Crown Attorney J. H. Clary from 1901-1912. By 1905, Buchanan was also the local solicitor for the International Nickel Company (INCO). He was retained by the company for 30 years. In 1912, Buchanan opened his own law practice, and was the Solicitor for the City Sudbury. In 1922, he was appointed as King's Counsel. Following his death in 1941, Buchanan was recognized as one of the greatest authorities on municipal law in Canada.
