Biography

He was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in 1843, the son of Thomas Killam 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. On September 21, 1867, he lost his left arm when a cannon prematurely detonated during an election celebration. The accident killed one person. 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.
