Fergie Reid

Fergie Reid (1849 – 18 November 1924) was an Australian trade unionist and politician who was a Labor Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1901 to 1904, representing the seat of Mount Burges.

[1] Reid entered parliament at the 1901 state election, winning the newly created seat of Mount Burges.

[2] After leaving parliament, Reid lived in York and Dulbelling for periods, eventually retiring to Perth, where he died in 1924.
