Mr. Dawes was born in. Port Perry, Ontario, June 29, 1880, the second son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Clement C. Dawes. When a young man he joined the National Life Insurance Company, and in 1902 was transferred to Saint John as representative of that com- pany. Tle later joined the Ames- Holden-McCready Company, and for several years traveled throughout the Maritimes as their representative, . during which time he established many friendships in various sections of the provinces. In 1919 he removed to Hillsboro, Albert County, and be- came associated. with Wright-Dawes Company, Limited, continuing in busi- ness there until he removed to Mone- ton in 1926 to accept the position of district manager for the Canada Life Assurance Company. For many years previous to his moving to Moncton, he had been associated with the Canada Life as part-time agent and his out- standing ability was recognized by the position he accepted and held u til his death™ Possessed of a pleasing and genial personality and a keen business abilty, Mr. Dawes was eminently successful in his business career, especially in his chosen. profession of life insurance. Appreciating his untiring devotion to duty and success in that *husiness he was chosen for three successive years as vice-president for the Eastern sec- tion of the Canada Life Quarter Mil- lion Club, and for two vears also was a member of the Century Club in that company. Last year he again quali- fied as a member of the Quarter Mil- lion Club, a distinction which only a few achieve.
