Édouard-Hippolyte Laliberté


Édouard-Hippolyte Laliberté was a notary and political figure in Quebec. He represented Lotbinière in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1886 to 1900 as a Liberal.
He was born in Lotbinière, Canada East, the son of Joseph Laliberté and Marcelline Lahaye, and was educated at the Collège Faucher there and the Séminaire de Québec. He qualified as a notary in 1873 and set up practice in Warwick, later settling in Deschaillons. Laliberté was married twice: to Marie-Joséphine-Julia Durand in 1873 and to Florentine Côté in 1898. He was first elected to the Quebec assembly in an 1886 by-election held after Henri-Gustave Joly de Lotbinière resigned his seat. After he retired from politics in 1900, he served as Serjeant-at-Arms for the assembly from 1902 to 1911. Laliberté died in Deschaillons at the age of 65.
