Biographical history
The Hon. John Stewart McLennan, industrialist, historian and publisher, was born 5 November 1853 in Montreal to Hugh McLennan and Isabella Stewart. He was educated at McGill and Cambridge universities before moving to Syndey, Nova Scotia. In 1881 he married Louise Bradley, with whom he had three children, Hugh, Margaret and Louise. He married Grace Henoys Tytus in 1915, with whom he had one son, John Stewart, Jr.
In 1904 McLennan bought the Sydney Post (later the Post Record). He was also a director of both the Dominion Iron and Steel Company and the Dominion Coal Company, and the author of Louisbourg, from its Foundation to its Fall, 1713-1758, which was first published in 1918. In 1916 Robert Borden appointed McLennan to the Canadian Senate, where he served until his death on 15 September 1939.
