Francis Ogletree (April 4, 1826[1] – December 25, 1916[2]) was a farmer and political figure in Manitoba, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Council of Manitoba from 1871 to 1876.[3]
He was born in Cork, Ireland, the son of Michael Ogletree and Annabella Scott, and came to Upper Canada with his family in 1830. Ogletree was educated in Brockville[1] and came to Manitoba in 1869. He farmed at Portage la Prairie and also served as police magistrate and Indian agent for the area.[3] Ogletree was married twice: first to Janet McLarty in 1848 and then, following her death, to his wife's sister Mary McLarty.[1] In 1874, he served briefly in the province's Executive Council as a minister without portfolio.[2]
Ogletree died at Portage la Prairie at the age of 90.[2]
