}}Duncan McArthur (1885[1] – July 20, 1943[2]) was an archivist, educator, civil servant and political figure in Ontario. He represented Simcoe Centre from 1940 to 1943 in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal.[1]

Background

Born in Dutton, Ontario, McArthur was educated in Dutton, at Queen's University and at Osgoode Hall.[2] He worked at the Dominion Archives of Canada from 1907 to 1912.[2] In 1915, he was called to the Ontario bar and practised law in Toronto for two years. From 1919 to 1922, he was assistant general manager for a trust company. In 1920, McArthur married Floy Lawson.[2] In 1922, he joined the history department at Queen's University, later serving as department head.[1] In 1934, he became Ontario's Deputy Minister of Education.[2]

Politics

McArthur was elected to the Ontario assembly by acclamation in 1940 following the death of Leonard Simpson.[2] He served in the Ontario cabinet as Minister of Education from 1940 to 1943.[1]

McArthur died of a heart attack at his summer home at Grand Bend on Lake Huron at the age of 58.[3]
