1753 | A place among the greatest head coaches in NHL history will always be held by Alger Joseph "Radar" Arbour. His career totals of 1,606 games behind the bench and 781 victories trail only the legendaryScotty Bowman in the record ledger. Arbour's guidance contributed significantly to the New York Islanders' rapid ascent to competitive status in the 1970s and the club's subsequent run of four consecutive Stanley Cup wins from 1980 to 1983, as well as a record 19 consecutive playoff series wins from 1980 to 1984. The Sudbury, Ontario, native played defense on the junior Windsor Spitfires of the OHA. After distinguishing himself as an amateur, he was signed by the Detroit Red Wings and joined the pro ranks with the EdmontonFlyers of the Western Hockey Leaguein 1952-53. He split the next fouryears between Alberta, the Motor City and Sherbrooke in the Quebec senior loop. In 1957-58, Arbour played his first full NHL season in the red and white of the Wings. Following that season, he was claimed by the Chicago Black Hawks, where he toiled for three years including 1961, the year of the franchise's Stanley Cup triumph. Arbour next played five seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and earned his second Stanley Cup ring in 1962. After spending the 1966-67 season in theAHL, he returned to contribute experience and stability to the defense corps of the expansion St.Louis Blues in 1967-68. Early in 1970-71, he retired as a player after 600 games over 14 years. Arbour was also one of the few players in league history to wear glasses while playing. Upon retiring, Arbour was immediately hired to stand in as coach of theBlues for the remainder of the 1970-71 schedule. During the last 50 games of the season, the team responded well by posting a 21-15-14 mark before falling to the Minnesota NorthStars in the quarterfinals of the playoffs. Arbour guided St. Louis on an interim basis over the next two seasons but jumped at the greatest challenge of his young coaching career in 1973. Prior to the 1973-74 schedule, the New York Islanders were coming off a difficult expansion season in which they'd accumulated a mere 30 points. The organization felt it had some promise and required a young, ambitious figure to steer the team in the right direction. Arbour's positive impact on the team was immediate. The squad improvedits total to 56 points and began building around talented defenseman Denis Potvin. The 1974-75 season saw the arrival of Arbour's Islanders as a competitive NHL franchise. They won 33 regular-season matches before enjoying a memorable playoff run. They defeated Pittsburgh in a seven-game quarter-finals after losing the first three games. In the semi-finals, they fell one game short of doing the same thing to the defending champion Philadelphia Flyers. During each of the next four seasons, the Islanders finished with more than 100 points. This didn't translate into a Stanley Cup triumph, but the team did gain valuable experience. Following the 1978-79 campaign, Arbour was presented the Jack AdamsAward as the NHL's top coach. In 1979-80, the Islanders attained their ultimate goal by defeating the Philadelphia Flyers in six games to win the Stanley Cup in their eighth season. They repeated this accomplishment in each of the next three yearstobecome only the second NHL club to win four straight titles (Montreal did it twice). Their drive for five consecutive championships fell short when they lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the 1984 finals. Afterward, Arbour marshaled the Islanders to solid if unspectacular results before stepping down following the 1985-86 season. He served as the organization's vice-president of player development before returning as the team's bench boss partway through the 1988-89 season. Arbour's contribution to the development of hockey in the United States was acknowledged in 1992 when his name was engraved on the Lester Patrick Trophy. The pinnacle of his second installment behind the New York bench occurred in 1992-93 when the Islanders upset the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins to reach the semi-finals. Arbour retired in 1994as the second-winningest coach of all time, with 781 regular-season victories and 123 post-season triumphs to his credit. One of the major foundations in the history of the New York Islanders, Arbour was an obvious choice to enter the Hockey Hall of Fame Builders category in 1996. "Its behind the New York bench occurred in 1992-93 when the Islanders upset the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins to reach thesemi-finals. Arbour retired in 1994 as the second-winningest coach of all time, with 781 regular-season victories and 123 post-season triumphs to his credit. One of the major foundations in the history of the NewYork Islanders, Arbour was an obvious choice to enter the Hockey Hall of Fame Builder category in 1996.Even as a player, Al Arbour distinguished himself from the rest of the National Hockey League. A defensive defenceman par excellence, the Sudbury, Ontario-born Arbour was at his best protecting his netminder by blocking shots, in spite of the fact he wore glasses while playing. Signed by the Detroit Red Wings, Al joined the junior Windsor Spitfiresjust shy of his seventeenth birthday. The goaltender he protected there was Glenn Hall, while teammates included other future Red Wings Earl Reibel, Glen Skov and Eddie Stankiewicz. During his four seasons in Windsor, Al would also play with Cummy Burton, Don Cherry, Larry Hillman, John Muckler and Dennis Riggin. After winning a WHL championship with the Edmonton Flyers in 1952-53, Arbour saw his first NHL action the next season, playing 36 games with the Red Wings in 1953-54. Although he saw no action duringthe playoffs that spring, Al got his name engraved on the Stanley Cup for the first time following the Wings' seven-game series with the Montreal Canadiens in the final. During that dynastic era for Detroit, the Red Wings had a surplus of fine defenceman, with Warren Godfrey, Bob Goldham, Larry Hillman, Red Kelly and Marcel Pronovost all earning time on the blueline,and Arbour anxiously waited for his chance, biding his time predominantly with the Edmonton Flyers. In 1954-55, he was named to the WHL's Second All-Star Team, but it wasn't until the playoffs of 1955-56 that Al saw NHL action again. By 1957-58, Arbour had finally cracked the Red Wings line-up full-time.But in June 1958, he was plucked from Detroit's line-up by Chicago in the Intra-League Draft. Shoring up the Black Hawks blueline, Al spent three seasons in Chicago, including asecond Stanley Cup championship in1961. After winning the Cup with Chicago, Al may have been disappointed to beselected from the Hawks by Toronto in the June 1961 Intra-League Draft, but it was fortuitous timing for the bespectacled defenceman, as he was part of the Toronto dynasty thatwon the Stanley Cup in 1962 and 1964(he missed Toronto's 1963 Stanley Cup championship as he spent most ofthat season with the Leafs' AHL affiliate,the Rochester Americans, where he was named to the league's First All-Star Team. He made the All-Starsquad again in 1964 and 1966, and was named the AHL's best defenceman in 1965). Championships became de rigueur to Arbour, who assisted Rochester to Calder Cup championships in 1965 and 1966. With the NHL's expansion to twelve teams in time for the 1967-68 season, Al was left unprotected by Toronto and was grabbed by the St. Louis Blues. The veteran defenceman added much to the expansion franchise. TheBlues secured a number of stars inthe twilights of their careers that helped make St. Louis a formidable opponent to challenging teams. Besides Arbour, St. Louis boasted an inaugural season defence that included Doug Harvey, Noel Picard, Bob and Barclay Plager and Jean-Guy Talbot.Old pal Glenn Hall was in goal, while Red Berenson, Don McKenny, Gerry Melnyk, Dickie Moore and Ron Stewart added veteran presence to the offense. In four seasons with the Blues, Arbour played in the Stanley Cup Final three times. I enjoyed the fun of it (playing); the feeling that you had after you won a hockey game," stated Arbour in Dick Irvin's book, 'Behind the Bench'. "There's no greater feeling than the one you get whenyou're a player and you go out and win a real tough game. I've had great feelings coaching and winning the Stanley Cup, but it never seemed to be the same feeling I got when I was a player." In 1970, with the end of his playing career imminent, the thirty-eight-year-old Arbour was introduced to the idea of coaching. "Scotty Bowman was the one who got me interested in coaching," explainedAl. "I was playing for him in St. Louis atthe endof my career. He wanted to step aside and become the general manager and he wanted me to take over." Arbour coached until February 1971, but returned to playing when Bowmanreturned behind the bench. Bowman was fired at the end of that season."There was controversy all the time," admitted Arbour. Al, who was under contract to the Blues, assumed the position of assistant general manager with St. Louis beginning with the 1971-72 season. At Christmas, with the team struggling, the coach, Bill McCreary, was fired and Al was asked to coach once again, and helped guide the Blues into the playoffs. By the following season, the situation changed once again. "I got into a conflict with Sid (Solomon III, the Blues' owner). We weren't hitting it off very well. I knew I was a markedman. I coachedthirteen games and I was gone." After scouting briefly for the Atlanta Flames, Arbour was approached with another offer to coach. "Bill Torrey asked me if I would be interested in coaching the (New York) Islanders. I told him no. Isaid I had four kids and wouldn't want to move them to New York." But after visiting Long Island for the first time, Al acquiesced and accepted the position. "You could see a good team in the making," said Arbour. "We got DenisPotvin for the defence, Trots (Bryan Trottier) at centreand other young bucks like Clark Gillies, Bob Bourne and John Tonelli. Then came the arrival of Mike Bossy." The Islanders finished first overall in 1978-79, but were eliminated bythe Toronto Maple Leafs in the playoffs. "We changed our format arounda bit during that regular season," explained Arbour. "Everyone said toforget about the playoff losses totheMaple Leafs in 1978 and the Rangers in 1979. But I said, 'No, I don't want them to forget about it. Just remember that so it will never happen again.' We carried those lossesinto the season a little longer than I thought it wouldbe and I couldn't really get them going." Nevertheless, Al was chosen as coach of the year, winning the Jack Adams Trophy. The next season, the Islanders added a significant piece to the puzzle."At the trading deadline, we got Butch Goring from L.A. We had a very young team and he was the guy we needed with just the right kind of experience. We needed somebody that wasgoing to have that calming influence. He had that affect on the team immediately and we were on our way from there forward," nodded Arbour. Arbour was correct. The New York Islanders won the Stanley Cup for the first time in 1980, then proceeded on an extraordinary streak that saw the franchise win the championship four seasons in a row.In 1980, the Islanders defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in six games to win the Stanley Cup. The next spring, the victim was the Minnesota North Stars, whomthe Islanders took in five games. It was afour-game sweep of the Vancouver Canucks in 1982 and in 1983, another four-game sweep, this time over the Edmonton Oilers. At the conclusion of the 1985-86 season, Al retired as coach of the Islanders. But two and a half years later, after holding a management position with the team, Arbour was coaxed to return behind the bench. "I had never given any thought tocoaching again," said Arbour. Replacing Terry Simpson, he took over a team depleted of much of the talent he had enjoyed in the early-1980's. "When you're not accustomed to losing, it certainly does a job on you. It eats you up." In his second tenure coaching the Islanders, Al was behind the bench from 1988-89 to 1993-94. Thezenith of his second installment coaching the Long Island squad took place when the Islanders reached the semi-finals by upsetting the Pittsburgh Penguins,defending Stanley Cupchampions. Following the 1993-94 season, Al Arbour retired Arbour retired having coached 1,499 games for the Islanders, more by 487 than any coach had been behind the bench with one franchise. Current coach Ted Nolan had an idea that Arbour should coach one more Islanders' contest to make the total a nice round figure. With the permission ofgeneral manager Garth Snow and owner Charles Wang, Arbour was approached about coaching again, just one more game,to bring his total with theIslanders to 1,500. "I haven't coached a game in 15 years," said an astounded Arbour. "I haven't seen a game in person in three years." Or so he thought. On November 1, 2007, Al celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday. The next day, he signed a one-day contract to coach the Islanders and on Saturday, November 3, Arbour was behind the bench as his beloved Islanders were challenged by the Pittsburgh Penguins. "This is anincredible gesture by Ted and the Islanders," said Arbour at the time."I am flattered that Ted thought of me and I wouldn't miss this night for the world. I told the team that I do not want any pre-game fanfare.I'm there to coach the game and help Ted and my Islanders try to earn two points against a very toughteam." Commenting on the way the game had evolved, Al stated, "It's a totally different game now, a European game with skating and winding up and moving the puck. I really like the way they opened the game up." Arbour and the Islanders defeated Pittsburgh 3-2, with Miroslav Satan scoring the game-winner. The victory gave Al a lifetime record of 782 career regular seasons win, 577 losses and 248 points in 1,607 regular season games, making him the second-winningest NHL coach of all time. With the Islanders alone, Arbour coached 1,500 regular season games, with 740 wins, 537 losses and 223 ties. In playoff action, Arbour's career record is 118 wins and 83 losses in 201 games. As a coach, Al led his teams to four Stanley Cup championships, was named coach of the year in 1979 and was awarded the Lester Patrick Trophy for contributions to American hockey in 1992. On January 25, 1997, Al was honoured by the New York Islanders with a special night. For his incomparable dedication to the sport, Al Arbour was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in the Builder Category in 1996. | ARBOUR, Al Alger (I1309)

1774 | a young man, Francois worked as a mariner, like his father. When he was18-years old, Francois immigrated to the United States of America withhis parents and settled in the State of Louisiana. Francois and his wife Jeanne had nine children, six daughters and three sons. By 1810, thefamily lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they contributed to the immense growth of the community. In 1810, the town filled only six pages in the Census rolls, but by 1820, had grown to 24 pages. Francois andJeanne lived there in 1810 with three of their daughters, as the others seem to have died by then. In fact, none of their sons lived until adulthood and the ARBOUR name ended with Francois on this line. In December 1810, the family lived next door toFrancois DAIGLE, probably Jeanne's father. A Private Fr. ARBOUR fought with the 8th Regiment (Meriam's Regiment), Louisiana Military, during the War of 1812. There were no other Francis/Francois ARBOURs alive at this time so one may conclude it wasthis Francois who fought for his home and that he died after 1812. However, speculation exists that Fr. could actually stand for Frederickso no conclusions can be made. It is unclear when or where Francois andJeanne passed away. Jeanne was alive during the Census taken in December 1810, so she died some time after this. Furthermore, there is a Francois ARBOUR listed in Baton Rouge in the 1830 Census and in the 1840 Census. He is probably also ourFrancois.

1782 | Abraham continued the farming tradition living at Thurlstone nearPenistone and marying local girl Mary Wainwright in 1811. She gave himthree sons but died in 1823 giving birth to a daughter. The daughter,Mary, sadly only lived a few months. In 1828he married ElizabethCreswick ( Criswick) but had no more children. On the death of hisfather in 1832, Abraham inherited the farm at Worrall and moved in. Hecontinued to prosper and bought more land in Wadsley Park.Elizabeth died in 1850 and in 1851,aged 60, he retired, and passedLane Farm to his son Richard who had been living with him and sharingthe work. It comprised the Dwelling House; barns and stables;cow-house; parcels of land; parkland;and Timber Croft.In his willdated 1855 Abraham also left Richard an annuity for life.Son WILLIAM would only inherit the part of Wadsley Park bought byAbraham in 1835.During his lifetime Abraham also purchased part of WADSLEY PARK ESTATE- lying between Lough Dyke and Lane Farm - for £1,800.UnfortxgMal'hôtelllee?es 1753b»Ditab» «tab»unately in 1862 Richard died aged 45 and in march 1865 his onlygrandson, Thomas Edward also died aged just5, leaving no one to takeover the farm.In 1865 ABRAHAM ran into some financial difficulty.

1783 | Abraham was Benjamin's only son and kept the family farming tradition.He married Martha Shaw, who was a local girl and his first twochildren were born in Bradfield and Bolsterstone. Sometime betwen 1784and 1788 hemoved to Hawkshead in Lancashire (now Cumbria) and this iswhere his next two sons were born. He may have moved in order to makebird lime which is a substance made by fermenting holly branches. Agreat deal of holly grew in this part of the Lake District and birdlime wasmuch in demandin the Colonies where it was used not to catchbirds but to catch flies. He returned to Bolsterstone around the timeof his father's death in 1804 and was joint executor of his father'sWill.He lived for a time at Hermit Royd and Thurlstone near Penistone,before moving to a farm in Worrall, which he owned. By the time of hisdeath in 1832, he was quite prosperous, having increased the amount ofland he owned and made other investments in land and property.In his Will (dated 10 July 1831) he leaves :1. To Benjamin Jackson an annuity of £15 from rents of properties inMiddlewood.2. £300 to be shared between Benjamin's children after they had allreached 213.

1786 | According to both the 1901 Census and his Death Registration, Jean-Octave was born on 10 Jun 1856. John was not listed on the Voter Registration Rolls in Chicago in 1888-1892. This could have been because he neverattained US Citizenship. Itcould also be because he had moved away. --> John did indeed move away. He married in QC in 1885, so apparently heleft Chicago sometime before this. ___ Bio from Facebook on 09 Jun 2010: 09 June 1854 -- Born in Montreal, Quebec, Jean-Roch-Octave ARBOUR was the 4th of 9 children of tailor Theodore ARBOUR and his wife Rachel TISON. As a young man, John followed his elder brother Peter to the United States. He was found living on Bloomendale Street in Chicago, Illinois,with Peter's family in 1880. Following in their father's footsteps, both brothers worked as tailors. Both brothersalso seem to have heavily favored the HARBOUR spelling of their last name. While Peter remained inthe US and later died there, John appears to have returned to Quebec. Perhaps he was disillusioned at Chicago's prospects for a nice bride ofFrench Canadian origins. John finally settled down in 1885, when he married in Montreal to 16-year old AnnaCHARBONNEAU on 18 May. John and Anna had 3 children, one daughter and 2 sons, although only son Raoul would give them any descendants. Between 2 marriages, Raoul had 2 children and no known grandchildren. John was just 52-years old when he diedinMontreal on 05 April 1907. Anna lived more than 50 more years but never seems to have remarried. She died in Montreal on 11 November 1959, atthe age of 92. Both of them were buried in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Catholic Cemetery in Montreal. | ARBOUR, Octave (I4061)

1787 | According to CEF Records, on 21 February 1916, Edouard heard his country's call to duty and left his young wife to enlist with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. At the time of his medical examination, he was 5' 6½" tall, weighed 133 pounds,and hadlHoez.sus-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab»«tab»a fair complexion, brown eyes, and brown hair. Private ARBOUR then became part of the 69th Battalion and boarded a ship for England, from whence he went to France for five months. Edouard then began having difficulty keeping up withtroop marches, owing to shortness of breath and chest pain. On 15 November 1917, the Medical Board determined that hesuffered from Neurasthenia, as he complained of pain in his back, legs, and testicles, was extremely nervous, was afraid towalk in the road, and could not read a book as it made him cry. Although no specific heart defect was noted, on 22 November 1917, they decided to send him back home to be based in Ottawa, awaiting a permanent decision of his fate. On 5 February1918, Edouard was determinedto be medically unfit and was summarily discharged from service. He returned to his wife and son in Ste-Therese. On 1 Sep 1923, Edouard returned home to Canada after 6 weeks of workingor at least looking for work in North Dakota. He had arrived in the USfrom Gretna, MB, on 23 Jul 1923. He was planning on returning on the Highway via Gretna. While still retaining his "good" health, it would appear as though Edouard's foray into the US was not all that successful,as he was returning home with just $20 in his pocket. | ARBOUR, Edouard (I3483)

The group wants to convert the former electrical distribution building at Edwards Mill complex, located at Mill Park in Augusta, into a museum for mill history.} {The former electrical distribution building for the Edwards Mill complex at Mill Park in Augusta. A group is proposing to utilize thestructure for a museum.} Now, a small group made up primarily of descendants of those workers are working to make sure the memories and stories aren't buried with the charred ashes ofthe riverside former mill. "Manufacturing in Augusta -- I don't want it to be lost for our children" said Jan Michaud, president of Friends for a Heritage Center at Mill Park. "This is the workforce that was thebackbone of the city." At its peak the Edwards Mill work force numbered1,300 people -- many of them Franco-Americans and other immigrants whocame to America, and Augusta, to work. They made cotton cloth productsfor a thriving company -- and lives for themselves and their families.Now a core group of 10 local residents are raising funds and interest in turning the only still-standing Edwards Mill building -- a two-story, 1,800-square-foot brick building on a small hill overlooking the formermill -- into a museum. The museum would seek to honor and recall thecity's thousands of manufacturing workers, starting with the many who toiled at Edwards, but later expanding, Michaud said, to include paper mill and other manufacturing workers from the city's past. Members of Friends for a Heritage Center at Mill Park have been laying the foundation for the museum for three years, interviewing, photographing and recording video and audio of 31 former mill workers, documenting their stories and memories. "These folks were reluctant at first," Michaud, whosegrandfather worked at the mill, said of the mill workers they've interviewed. "They'd say, 'Oh, you don't want to talk to me, I don't have anything interesting to say.' We said, 'Wejust want your memories. What was it like? How did work affect your family?' And, inevitably, they'd open up. "Once they started to talk, they couldn't stop." The former cotton mill at 1 Water St. frames one side of the city's downtown area. Employment at the mill sometimes peaked at as many as 2,000 workers. Thecity owns the building, which is locatedin the Capital Riverfront Improvement District -- an area created in 1999 as a joint venture between the city and the state to emphasize and protect the river. As such, organizers, who are incorporated as a nonprofit group, will need both the city and Capital Riverfront Improvement District board to sign off on the project. City Councilor Patrick Paradis, a member of the district's board, said the City Council and district board have both spoken favorably about the proposal. "We want to see that building go from being an unused building to a wonderful museum to all the people who worked there," said Paradis, whose father workedatthe mill for 35 years, and whois also of French ancestry. "This history is going away -- every week,someone who worked there is passing away. We wantto capture their history." Jan Michaud's husband, Victor Michaud, whose grandfather and great-grandfather worked at the mill, said the building they're eyeing for a museum was deemed structurally sound in a 2002 assesment. But it was estimated at the time that it would take about $1.5 million to restore the building and convert it into a museum. Maurice "Moe" Pelletier, vice president of the group whose father-in-law worked at Edwards and whose father worked at what later becomethe Statler paper mill in Augusta, said a major next step is to have a new assement done so the group can form a business plan. In addition to photos, the Friends for a HeritageCenter at Mill Park has cloth products made at the mill, tools and a huge logbook from the 1930s listing each worker, their pay and how much they paid in rent to live in numerous company-owned homes surrounding the mill. "I just found my grandfather's, he was in the card room," saidSandy Arbour as she looked through the logbook recently. "Lookat all these French names... Amazing." University of Maine at Augusta architecturestudents have already come up with different designs for turning the building, currently used by the city for storage,into a showplace. A fundraiser for the project is planned for Friday at Le Club Calumet, featuring comedian Louis Philippe as "FatherFrenchie," and musician TinaCharest. The group has an online presence on Facebook as well. It's http://heritagecenteratmillpark.blogspot.com. Jan Michaud, a former elementary school principal, said they'd like to have the buildingrestored and museum up and running within five years. She said they'd also like to include a small cafe in the building,as a place for people to gather and also to help pay for the costs of maintaining and running the museum. "We're hoping we can make somethinghappen for the community," she said. "It's an awesome spot for tourists to come and start their walk-through of the city here, go downtown, go over to Fort Western. "It's a dream, and we're hoping to make it a reality." | ARBOUR, Edouard (I2169)

1797 | According to his WWI Draft Registration, Francois was of medium height and medium build with blue eyes and brown hair. At the time, he was a widow with a small child. From Ann Irene STILKEY, wife of Raymond J. ARBOUR: Ray is very proud ofhis Franco-American background and the history regarding Franco American immigrants in Augusta. The area in which they lived was called "SandHill." The cotton mill thatemployed them was at the bottom of Sand Hill and their church, St Augustine, was at the top. The generation of Francois and his children were very much discriminated at that time due totheir ethnic background and it was my husband's generation that brokethecycle. My in-laws left the "Hill" when Ray was 3-years old and movedto the "English" part of thecity, which was really frowned upon. Around the time Ray was getting ready to start school in the non-French speaking part of the city, my in-lawsdecided they needed to teach him to speak English ashe only spoke French at that time. He has memories of other children in the neighborhood teasing him because he only spoke French. He still is quite fluent in French, buthis first language is nowEnglish. His younger brother, however, can understand French quite well buthas difficulty conversing. I also remember Olivine. She refused to speak English and only spoke French, except when it was just she and I,because I do not speak French. On 30 Nov 1915, Francois and Augustine travelled to the US via the portof Newport, VT, and were headed for Augusta, ME, to their house at 22 Mill Brook. Francois was 5'9" tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue? eyes. Augustine was 5'3"tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue? eyes. They carried $68 with them. ___ Bio from Facebook 25 Feb 2010: 25 Feb 1893 -- Francois-Xavier-Gilbert ARBOUR was born in Joliette, QC,as the 4th of 12 children of Charles-Barthelemi ARBOUR [who was profiled on 14 Feb] and Marie-Celina BOISVERT. At approximatelyage 14, Francois emigrated to the US from Canada but then returned sometime later. Around age 20, Francois trekked across Canada to arrive in Alberta. On 25Nov 1913, in Morinville, AB, Francois married 16-year old Augustine DUPUIS. They had one son who died just after birth in Alberta before theiremigration to the US in about 1915. On 30 Nov 1915, Francois and Augustine traveled to the US via the port of Newport, Vermont, and headed for Augusta, Maine, to their house at 22 Mill Brook. Francois was 5'9" tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. Augustine was 5'3" tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. They carried $68 with them. Just 3 months later, Augustine gave birth to their son Jean-Marie ARBOUR in Feb 1917. In Jun 1917, Francois registered fortheWWI Draft, when he was noted to be of medium height and medium build with blue eyes and brown hair. At the time, he was a widow with a small child, as Augustine had suffered an untimely death after little Jean'sbirth. On 25 Jun 1917, Francoismarried for a second time to Olivine M. PARE, who then bore 8 children over the next 10 years. Throughout hislife, Francois worked as a fixer, a pulp maker in a paper factory, a cotton mill worker, and as an employee of the Edwards Manufacturing Company. He then seems to have become sick by 1933, when he had no job. In 1935, 42-year old Francois passedaway in Augusta, ME, before ever having met any of his 18 grandchildren. Olivine lived another 38years beforepassing away in 1973. One of these grandchildren is Raymond J. ARBOUR.Ray's wife Ann Irene STILKEY explains a little bit about their way of life in Maine: Ray is very proud of his Franco-American background and the history regarding Franco-American immigrants in Augusta. The area in which they lived was called "Sand Hill." The cotton mill that employed them was at the bottom of Sand Hill and their church, St Augustine, was at the top. The generation of Francois andhis children werevery muchdiscriminated against due to their ethnic background and it was Ray's generation that broke the cycle.

G. Brownell at Sunnybrook Farm in Pownal, VT. After passing through the hands of officers in all three states, they were arraigned this morning in thecourt of Bennington, VT, on charges of breaking and entering in the night. Everett Thomas, 25, pleaded guilty to this charge and was sentenced to not less than one year nor more than two years in thestate's prison. His case was continued until Friday afternoon by Judge George A. Mather and he was placed under $500 bail. JudgeMather will assign counsel at that time. The rather involved proceedings leading up to the court appearance started when a burglar alarm sounded and turned on the lights in a henhouse at Sunnybrook Farm at about 12:40 o'clock Sunday morning.Aroused, Mr. Brownell and Mr. Arbour arrived just in time to see a car driving off their property. Mr. Brownell fired several shots at the car but failed to find his mark. The two Pownal men then gave chase and followed the car in the direction of this city. When they arrived here they notified the local police, who, a short time later, picked up the car they described on West Main Street, arresting Noyes Thomas who was in the machine alone, his brother having apparently sneakedinto the woods at Pownal. Yesterday morning Corporal Hillfrank of the New York State Police Barracks at Petersburg notified the local police that he wanted both the Hoosick Falls brothers. He came to this city for Noyes Thomas and spent sometime looking for Everett Thomas in this city and Williamstown. Everett Thomas was picked up later by Corporal Hillfrank at his home in Hoosick Falls. The New York State Trooper then turned both men over to Vermont authorities in Bennington.The owners of the Pownal farm say that there were 200 fowls in the henhouse which was broken into and 125 in another nearby coop.They also say that an attempt was made to break into the henhouse about three weeks ago. ___ North Adams Transcript (MA) -- Monday 23 Nov 1936 JOHN ARBOUR FRACTURES LEG John Arbour is at the Mary McClellan Hospital, Cambridge, NY, where he was taken on Saturday afternoon following an accident at his home in which he sustained a broken leg.
