Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in gloom filled rooms
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me alittle - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone
It is all part of the masterplan
A step on the road to home
So when you are lonely and sick atheart
Go to the friends we know
Bury your sorrow in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go.
Love you forever. May you rest in peace. We love you. Gilbert, Marge, Carolyn, Lorraine, Debra, and our families.

From Catherine MOUSSEAU DUNNE via email on 18 Aug 2009: Leo married a woman who was 11 years older than him. They seemed to have a good marriage and had one son, named Allan. Leo lived in Toronto (about 5 hours from here) but would come up home to visit a couple of times a year with Aunt Pineapple. When Uncle Leo and Aunt Eilleen married, my oldest brother was about 3 or 4. She loved to tease him and one day he looked at her and called her Aunt Pineapple. The name stuck. All of the nieces andnephews grew up calling her Aunt Pineapple.

From Catherine via email on 20 Aug 2009: My Aunt Eileen got pregnant asa young woman.The man she was in love with went off to war - he was killed and didn't know about the baby to be. Aunt Eileen raised Donna on her own. Donna Mousseau actually gotmarried 2 months after her mother married my Uncle Leo. Donna married Wayne Rivet on 10 October 1964. Aunt Eileen and Uncle Leogot married on 22 August 1964. They both got married in Campbell's Bay, Quebec. Leo did not adopt her as she was alreadyan adult and on her own. He did treat her like a daughter, though. I donot have any information on Donna's birth. I do know that she is closeto my mother's age though. Aunt Eileen was 17 years older than my mother.

From Catherine via email on 21 Aug 2009: Last year on June 29th my AuntEileen diedandshe was cremated a few days later. I always save big projects(usually) for the summers when I'm off work. I was busy painting my son Andrew's room when the phone rings. It's my mother and she tells me that Uncle Dan and Aunt Irene are downstairs and Uncle Dan wants to talk to me. Can I please come downstairs?She sounds upset and I ask herif it's an emergency because Iwas in the middle of painting the ceiling. Uncle Dan takes the phone and says: Your Uncle Leo just called andheis extremely upset. I say of course he is, his wife just died. Uncle Dan says no, it'smore than that. I ask what's wrong?! Uncle Dan says: There was a fire at the crematorium last night and they can't find your aunt. Your Uncle Leo is thinking of suing. Shannon, may the Lord forgive me, but I started laughing. I hung upthephone and went downstairs. I walk in look at my Uncle Dan and he starts laughing. Mom gets upset with the two of us. I say to mom: The owner of the crematoriumis stupid, whydidn't he just scoop up some ashes and put them in a container and give them to Uncle Leo. It's not like Uncle Leo would know the difference and it would save a dying man (he was dyingof cancer) this anguish. Anyways, momis not amused. 3 days later the custodian who had been on dutythe night of the fire comes back to work from his long weekend off. Hetells the owner, oh by the way, I was able to get all the containers of ashes out before the fire got toobad.I put them . . . and he tells the owner where the ashes have been stored. They call Uncle Leo and he getsAunt Eileen and is able to bury her - after a proper Catholic mass that is. When Uncle Leo died this past March, his son Allan used thesamecrematorium for him. My only comment was: Is he looking for trouble?

Néà Thivierge, hameau situé dans la municipalité deBonaventure, il est le fils de Joseph-Georges Arsenault, cultivateur, et de Marcelline Gauthier. Il est un Acadien de la Gaspésie, journaliste, auteur, historien, politicien et généalogiste. Son activité dans plusieurs domaines lui a donné une réputation de travailleur acharné.

L'œuvre de sa vie est un ouvrage en six volumes de 2800 pages, Histoire et Généalogie des Acadiens. Il a réalisé toutes les recherches, compilation et de recoupages durant ses heures de loisirs.

Il travaille autant par ses écrits que par ses interventions à la radio et àla télévision, à la recherche et à la rédaction de plusieurs ouvrages. Parmi ses publications, nous retrouvons en 1953, "Malgré les obstacles", en 1955, "L'Acadie des Ancêtres," en 1960, "Bonaventure 1760-1960", en 1965, 2 volumes, 1178 pages "Histoire et Généalogie des Acadiens".

Il fait d'abord carrière dans le domaine des assurances et de la presse écrite. De 1932 à 1939, ilest président et directeur du "Journal de Québec". En 1939,il devient président et directeur de l'Evénement - Journal, une amalgamation de deux journaux quotidiens de Québec, poste qu'il occupa jusqu'en 1941, année où il retourne dans sa Gaspésie natale où il entreprendra une carrière dans le monde de l'assurance.

Après trois tentatives infructueuses, deux sur la scène provinciale(1931, 1935) etune sur la scène fédérale (1940), il fait son entrée à la Chambre des communes en 1945 comme député indépendant.

  20 March 1910 -- Born in Bonaventure, QC, Joseph-Armand ARBOUR was the 9th of 11 children born to farmer Levi ARBOUR and Marie-Zephora POIRIER. Perhaps to distinguish himself from his siblings, Armand seems to have left Quebec as a young man and moved to Ontario or the US, according to his nephew Roger ARBOUR. In 1937, Armand appears to have become a father to Roger Allen ARBOUR, who was born in Chatham, Ontario, and was perhaps named afterArmand's nephew. The mother ofArmand's son is unknown. While Roger married and became father to 6 children, it is further unknown when or where Armand may have died. If you have any knowledge of this branch of the family, please do share.

  31 March 1901 -- Born in Perce, QC, Joseph-Arthur ARBOUR was the 5th of13 children of farmer, fisher, merchant, hotelier, garage owner, boatman, and restauranteur Alfred ARBOUR and his wife MarieDRISCOLL. Talk about a jack-of-all-trades! This mightexplain why Joseph-Arthur left home to seek his fortunes elsewhere. On 02 July 1927, he married 29-year old Marie-Mathilda-"Lillie" StAUBIN in Hull, QC. On 07 March 1929, the electrician traveled from their home in Ottawa, ON, to Detroit, MI, wherehe hoped to find work while staying with brother-in-law Alfred ALBERT. Upon entering the US, he was noted to be 5'5" with a medium complexion, light brown hair, and brown eyes. He carried $50 in his pocket. At the timeJoseph Arthur hoped to make permanent residence in the US, but apparently the situation did not work out as he had planned. He must have not only returned to Canada but returned to Quebec as well. JosephArthur and Lillie had 4 children - 2 daughters and 2 sons - 3 of whom wereborn in the vicinity of Montreal during the years of 1932, 1936, and 1937. Lillie died in Montreal in May 1968.

  Kennebec Journal (Augusta, ME) -- 28 Jun1905
  The Augusta record for early peas goes to Angus Arbour, gardener for Hon. John F. Hill, who supplied them for the table Jun 26. This does not look as though the spring had been very backward in this section (sic),though no small part of the credit goes to Mr. Arbour's skill and careas a gardener.

  DULUTH FACED WITH STRIKE OF POLICE, FIREMEN
  Duluth, MN (AP) -- The Duluth City Council, refusing to vote on a proposed pay hike for city employees, was faced today with the threat of picketing by police and firemen. Some 20 angry city employees and their wives stormed out of the Council chambers Monday night after the Council adopted a resolution by Councilman George Cruikshank, which forstalled ballotting on the pay question. Edward Arbour, president of the Joint Council of Firemen and Policemen, told the Council the three unions representing city employees would band together to take what he termed drastic action on the issue. "We arbitrarily gave up our right to strike," he said. "Now the time has come for a shiftin action. The police and fire department locals can do picketduty."

  I frankly don't remember a lot about my Grandpa. He was a pretty serious alcoholic until he was in his later years and then he got cancer (he had the kind from breathing asbestos). He was so different when he got sober it was a shame it wasn't sooner. I will also ask my cousin who lives in Florida (just reconnected via Facebook). Shegrew up in Duluth (Tom Arbour's daughter) and spent a lot of time with my Grandma Ruth. I frankly don't even remember meeting any of my great aunts or uncles on his side either. I know we went to Ontario, Canadafrequently and have relatives (cousins?) there. My Aunt Marion (Ruth's sister) had a resort on Gull Wing lake.

When they were married, the young couple was unable to afford ahoneymoon. Many years later,they were able to live their dream. Lee had always wanted to see AngelFalls, the world's highest waterfall, located in Canaima National Park. Having seen the spectacularsight of the falls, Lee and Lisa boarded their return flight. Rutaca Airlines Flight 224 departed from Canaima inthe southern Bolivar state. The older DC3 refueled in Ciudad Bolivar and then took off for Porlamar on the Caribbean island of Margarita. On takeoff, one of the plane's engines caught fire and it was unable to maintain its climb over a small shantytown.

MILWAUKEE PAIR DIED IN VENEZUELA PLANE CRASH -- Parents of two teens were returning from Angel Falls on long-delayed honeymoon
A Milwaukeecouple on a long-delayed honeymoon were among those killed when a tourist plane crashed into a shantytown near Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela.
Lee and Lisa Arbour, ages 36 and 34 and the parents of two teenage children, died along with 22 others in the crash Thursday. Casualties included another American, Jason Hall, whose hometownwas not immediately available, and all four Venezuelan crew members, according to a wire service report. Karen Arbour, Lee's mother, said Sunday that she received a call about midnight Thursday from the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital. "They said that my son and daughter-in-law were believed to have been on the plane," Arbour said. "They said there were no survivors." The American Embassy claimedtheir personal effects from a hotel. "They were on the passenger manifest," shesaid. "My son was supposedto call Friday, and he didn't." Since then, his remains have been identified. Lisa Arbour's remains had not been identified as of Sunday. "Itwas a honeymoon trip," Arbour said. "They had never managed a big trip, and thiswas going to be their honeymoon, the one they had never taken." The couple had been married 17 years and had two children, Nicholas,16, and Samantha, 13.Her son had previously worked for an international firm and had done some traveling, including to Brazil and Mexico. He was currently working with his mother in thefamily business, K & E Tours. Lisa Arbour was the jewelry manager at theTarget store in Wauwatosa. Lee Arbour had attended Wauwatosa West High School, a culinary school inSwitzerland, and Milwaukee Area Technical College. Lisa Arbour attended St Mary's Academy in Milwaukee and MATC, where they met. "My sonhad always wanted to go to Angel Falls," Arbour said. "Actually, he was talking aboutthat since he was a kid."AngelFalls, in Canaima NationalPark, is the world's highest waterfall at 3,212 feet. "They got to Angel Falls and they were on their wayback," Arbour said. Rutaca Airlines Flight 224 departed from Canaima in southern Bolivar state. The older DC-3 propeller plane refueled in Ciudad Bolivar, then took off for Porlamar on the Caribbean island of Margarita. "Apparently, therewasan engine fire," she said. "The wing tore off on some slum buildings. The rest is history. It went up in a ball of fire . .. "I guess that one thing we can hold in our hearts is that they were doing something they wanted to do . . . andeverything is in God's time, not our time." Charlotte Schaut, Lisa's mother, said her daughter and son-in-law were excited about theirplans. "They were so happy about this trip," she said. "And theyhad a lot and were planning to build a new home in Menomonee Falls this summer." Her daughter loved her job and being with people, she said. "I'd see herevery weekend," said Schaut."She'd see me and take me shopping. Lisa was very sweet. She'd do anything for anybody, just to help."Inaddition to their two children, the couple are survived by Lee'smother, Karen Arbour of Wauwatosa, and Lisa's parents, Thomas and CharlotteSchautof Milwaukee. He is also survived by a sister, Linanne Giersch of Milwaukee, and a grandmother, Wilma Pingatore of Hibbing, MN.

  Not only is there a confusion over the name Eugene used in the States, there is also some mystery surrounding his marriage, his life, and his death. At some point, he married Maude RIGGS, who was born in OR. Did they marry inOR? Their daughter Fernwas born there inFeb 1911. Did he ever actually marry Maude or did they have a common-law relationship? Their son Eugene was born in OR in Mar 1913. In 1918, Eugene lived in ID.Did Eugene and Maude live in OR for a few years (1910-1913) while theirchildren were born? Did they separate after this? Did Maude remarry? There is no record of her death in OR under Maude ARBOUR or Maude RIGGS. Also around this time, son Eugene was supposed to have run away from home as a teenager. Was it after hisfather's death? He reportedly ran to Uncle Paul's in NJ, but there is no record of Eugene in the 1930 US Census in any state.

  From Denis ARBOUR on 08 Nov 2007: Shannon: You were right! We now have proof there was only one Marie HUARD. Although the writing is faint, the record can easily be read:
  "Le vingt-six septembre mil neuf cent trente-un, après la publication d'un ban de mariage, faite du prône de notre messe paroissiale, entre Pierre Eugène Arbour, cultivateur, veuf de MargueriteMallet domicilié en cette paroisse, d'une part; et Marie Huard,aussi domiciliée en cette paroisse, veuve de Joseph Huard, d'autre part; vu la {dispense du premier degré d'affinité, enligne collatérale} accordée par Monseigneur l'Évêque de Gaspé en date du vingt-deux courant; ne s'étant déclaré aucun autreempêchement à ce mariage, Nous soussigné, curé de cette paroisse, avons reçuleur mutuel consentement de mariage, en présence de Osias Chicoine, de la paroisse de St-Georges de Malbaie, et Joseph Bernier, decette paroisse. Requis de signer, tous on déclaré ne le savoir. Lecture faite." (signed) J. Eug. Martin P.
  The part I underlined [written here within { }] is what we were lookingfor, and it tells it all. A first degree "affinity"dispensation (not sure about the translation) is exactly what was required before Pierre-Eugène (Joseph-Eugène) could marry his brother's spouse. Marie HUARD's first spouse isreported to be Joseph HUARD. I believe it's an error; the priest probably meant to write Joseph ARBOUR but was distracted. -- Denis

  SHE married the 2 brothers

 Medical Information: Although he remarried after the death of first wife, he was never the same man. He began to drink heavily and this may have been a factor in his death.

• Note:

  According to his WWI Draft Registration, Louis was born on 25 Mar 1885. At the time he was noted to be tall with a medium build; he had brown eyes and black hair.
  
  During the Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918, Louis also contracted the illness. However, luck was with him and he survived, only to meet a tragic death a few years later.
