Biography
He was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in 1843, the son of Thomas Killam[1] and Elizabeth Gale Dudman, and was educated in Yarmouth and Sackville, New Brunswick. Killam entered business in Yarmouth. In September 1867, he married Ellen Hood.[2] On September 21, 1867, he lost his left arm when a cannon prematurely detonated during an election celebration. The accident killed one person.[3] Following the death of his father, he ran for his father's former seat in the 1st Canadian Parliament in a by-election held on April 20, 1869. He was elected as a member of the Liberal Party.[1]
Like his father, he had worked as a merchant and a shipowner. He was re-elected three times before being defeated in the 1882 federal election.[1] In 1870, he was the president of the Western Counties Railway Company.[4]
