Ithiel Blake Nason (August 10, 1839[1] – May 27, 1893[2]) was an American-born businessman and political figure in British Columbia. He represented Cariboo in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1889 to 1890 and from 1891 until his death in 1893.[3]
He was born in Maine and came to Antler Creek in 1861, constructing a number of sawmills in the area. Nason married Mary Watson in 1877. He lived in Richfield.[1] He was elected to the Legislature in an 1888 byelection held after Robert McLeese resigned his seat to run for a seat in the Canadian House of Commons. He did not seek a second term in the 1890 provincial election but he was a successful candidate in an 1891 provincial byelection.[3] Nason died in office in Victoria at the age of 53.[2]
