Thomas Allen Brick was born on January 2, 1867, in Compton, Quebec to Anglican missionary John Gough Brick and his wife Emma Marie Brick.[2] Brick was educated in Toronto and married Nancy Jane Gray on May 18, 1895, and together had three children.[2] Brick was a pioneer farmer who is largely credited with bringing grain farming to the northern Alberta.[3]
His brother Fred Brick was an important pioneer and trader at Fort Vermilion in the 1890s.[4]
The by-election was held on February 15, 1906. Brick ran as an Independent Liberal candidate defeating the Liberal candidate James Cornwall in a straight fight with a landslide majority. Brick was nominated by a large group of residents in the town of Peace River who chose him to be their representative in Edmonton.
Brick only served a single term in the Legislature, he was originally going to run for a second term in office but dropped out of the race before the nomination deadline.
