Lewis Arthur McConville (20 December 1849 – 10 May 1882) was a lawyer, journalist and political figure in Quebec. He represented Joliette in the House of Commons of Canada from 1880 to 1882 as a Conservative member.
He was born in Berthier, Canada East (in what is now Saint-Paul, Quebec), the son of John McConville,[1] an Irish immigrant, and Mary McKay. McConville was educated in Joliette and was admitted to the bar in 1871.[2] He served as a member of the editorial staff for Le Nouveau Monde and founded L'Industrie at Joliette in 1876.[2] In 1878, McConville married Josephte-Antonine Tarieu de Lanaudière, the daughter of a co-seigneur of Lavaltrie. He served on the municipal council for Joliette from 1879 to 1882. McConville was first elected to the House of Commons in an 1880 by-election held after Louis François Georges Baby was named to the Quebec Court of Appeal. He died in Joliette at the age of 32 after a short illness.[2]
McConville's wife entered a convent two years after the death of her husband.[2] His brother Joseph-Norbert-Alfred McConville served as a member of the Quebec provincial assembly.
