History
John Hyde was born on June 3, 1853, at sea, while his parents were en route from Scotland to Canada.
He was a well-known accountant in Montreal, the founder of an accounting practice which later became Hyde-Houghton & Co. (the name was lost when the firm merged with BDO Dunwoody in 1999). He was also a founding member of the Dominion Society of Accountants (1902), which became what is known today as the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (1951).
In 1878, he married Annie Isabella Gordon (d. 1890). In 1894, he married Adelaide Hyatt Gorham. He died on December 3, 1936, in Montreal, Quebec.
