Biographical history
Sir Hugh Fletcher was born on December 9, 1848, in London, England.
He was a geologist, surveyor, and civil servant. He immigrated to Canada with his father in 1860. The son of a mining engineer, he obtained his education at the University of Toronto in 1870. His first practical experience in geology was from his father's work in the gold mines at Tangier, Nova Scotia. He spent most of his career, from 1875 until 1909, on coal measures in Cape Breton Island and Nova Scotia. His work also included the survey of the counties of Cumberland, Colchester, Pictou, Antigonish, Guysborough, Kings, Hants, and a portion of Halifax. He produced numerous maps and reports on geological surveys and explorations of Nova Scotia. In 1950, the Fletcher Geology Club was formed in affiliation with the Nova Scotia Mining Society.
In 1882, he married Christine MacLeod (1862–1892). He died on September 23, 1909, in Lower Cove, Nova Scotia.
