Alexandre Chauveau

Alexandre Chauveau (French pronunciation: [alɛksɑ̃dʁ ʃovo]; February 23, 1847 – March 7, 1916) was a lawyer, judge, educator and political figure in Quebec.

He represented Rimouski in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1872 to 1880 as both a Conservative member and a Liberal cabinet minister.

Chauveau was educated at the Collège Sainte-Marie at Montreal, the Université Laval and McGill University.

He was first elected to the Quebec assembly in an 1872 by-election held after Louis Honoré Gosselin resigned his seat.

He died in New York City at the age of 69 while debarking from a boat returning from Havana[1] and was buried in Sainte-Foy.
