Abram Farewell

Abram Farewell (December 21, 1812 – February 8, 1888) was a Canadian businessman and political figure.

He was born in Harmony (now part of Oshawa) in Upper Canada in 1812 and taught school in Whitby Township.

He later became part-owner of ships transporting grain to American markets.

He helped form the Port Whitby and Port Perry Railway and, with others, won a contract to build part of the Canadian Pacific Railway line between Fort William (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) and Selkirk, Manitoba.

Although a so-called radical Reformer, he did not take part in the Upper Canada Rebellion.
