Hercule Dupré

Hercule Dupré (August 11, 1844 – May 3, 1927) was a farmer, lumber merchant and political figure in Quebec. He represented St. Mary in the House of Commons of Canada from 1896 to 1900 as a Liberal.[1]

The son of Pierre Dupré,[2] of Acadian descent, he was born in Verchères, Canada East and was educated there.[3] In 1862, he married Vitaline Giard. Dupré worked on the family farm until the age of 28, when he entered the trade in lumber at Montreal with Édouard Chaussé; he later formed a new company with his brother.[2] He was president of the local Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society in 1885.[3] Dupré served as a member of the city council for Montreal from 1894 to 1900.[1]
