Biography

Frank H. Whiteside was born in Ottawa on July 15, 1873.[1]

He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the 1913 Alberta general election in the Coronation defeating Conservative candidate and future MLA William Wallace Wilson. He served one term as a back bencher in the Liberal government.

Whiteside died in Coronation, Alberta on September 29, 1916, as a result of gunshot wounds he sustained during a quarrel with longtime friend Thomas Helmbolt five days earlier.[2] Helmbolt was charged with murder, but was acquitted on grounds of self-defence on November 4, 1916.[3]
