Welland Stewart Gemmell (October 10, 1910 – June 18, 1954) was a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Sudbury in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1948 until his death in 1954.
[1] A member of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, Gemmell won the riding in the 1948 election, following a rift in the Sudbury area's labour movement which resulted in vote splitting between incumbent MPP Robert Carlin and a new CCF candidate.
[4] He died of a heart attack at a hotel in North Bay on June 18, 1954.
[5] A byelection was not called to replace Gemmell following his death; the Sudbury riding instead remained vacant until it was won by Gerry Monaghan in the 1955 provincial election.
