He represented Harbour Grace in the Newfoundland House of Assembly for three terms, from 1897 to 1908, as a Liberal.The grandson of Robert Oke, the first Chief Inspector, Newfoundland Lighthouse Service, and the son of Edward Langdon Oke, he was born in Harbour Grace and was educated there. His father, a lighthouse keeper on Harbor Grace Island in Conception Bay, drowned while crossing the ice in February 1862. From the age of 13, William apprenticed as a printer with the Harbor Grace Standard. In May 1888, he formed Munn & Oke with John F.

June 11, 1938), a teacher at the high school in Harbour Grace, who became the first president of the local Women’s Patriotic Association during World War I and later was named an Officer in the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. They raised two children, Annie Gladys Oke (1891 - 1974) who married Rev. Gordon Stewart Templeton, and Edward Langdon Oke (1893 - 1966).Oke and five other candidates ran in a close election for the three Member House Assembly seats for the Harbour Grace District in 1908 but he was unsuccessful in seeking a fourth term. From 1909 until his death in 1923, Oke served as one of the two District Court judges in Newfoundland (the District Court in Harbour Grace was abolished in 1935).
