A.Y. Jackson–Alexander Young (1882-1959) was born in Montreal, and like Lawren Harris, is buried at the MacMichael Art Gallery grounds. He was a founding member of the Group of 7 and had a long career including teaching at the Banff School of Fine Arts (1943-1949) and, after that, as artist-in-residence at the MacMichael in Kleinberg, ON. Jackson was wounded serving in WWI and was a war records artist (1917-1919). He also did art for the two national railways including paintings, illustrations, and murals.
