John Edward Annan Macleod, 1878-1966, was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia. He received his law degree from Dalhousie University in 1903 and was admitted to the Bar the following year. He moved to Alberta in 1907 and practiced law in Didsbury for two years before joining Lougheed and Bennett in Calgary. He was president of the Law Society of Alberta, 1936-1937, and also vice-president of the Canadian Bar Association. He eventually became senior partner of Macleod, McDermid, Dixon, Burns, Love and Leitch.
He and his wife, Ethel Flemming Macleod, ?-1936, who was also from Nova Scotia, had four children, Flora, Phoebe (Stenson), Margaret (Walker) and Paul. He was president of the Ranchmen's Club in Calgary from 1927-1929.
