Eliot de Pass

Sir Eliot Arthur de Pass KBE FRSA (16 March 1851 – 11 July 1937) was an English merchant in the West Indies.

[5][6] He was descended from Elias de Paz, who was among the original 12 Jewish brokers admitted to the privileges of the Royal Exchange, London in 1697.

[1][7] He was educated privately in Brighton and in Germany before beginning his own career, first as special commissioner and attorney of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway in Nova Scotia, 1873–78.

[2][5] In 2014, on the centennial of Frank's death, he was honoured with a memorial paving stone laid outside the Ministry of Defence in Whitehall, London.

Twenty-one years ago Sir Eliot was one of the small group of men who attended the first regular meeting of our council, and even in this year, at an age when few men are still in harness—he was an active journalist at the time of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870—he still actively assisted the organization as a member of council and of its sugar and coffee sections.
