Fairbairn was first elected to the House of Commons in an 1890 by-election held after the death of Adam Hudspeth; that election was declared void but he won the by-election which followed in 1891. A rural post office in Verulam Township was named Fairbairn in his honour.〔 == References == * *(''The Canadian parliamentary companion, 1891'' ) AJ Gemmill 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Fairbairn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
