Georges Ball (September 11, 1838 – May 30, 1928) was a Canadian politician and lumber merchant.
Born in Champlain, Lower Canada, Ball was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Quebec for Nicolet from 1897 to 1900. He was elected to the Canadian House of Commons as a Member of the Conservative Party of Canada in the 1900 federal election for the riding of Nicolet. He was defeated in the 1904 federal election and again in the 1906 Nicolet by-election.
Famous quotes containing the word ball:
“It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind; Mbut when a beginning is made—when felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt—it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
