She had one child

Emma was baptised at St Ann's with the name Aimee-Anne-Jane DUPUIS,but was always known as Emma. Emma's second husband, James GARRITY, owned a livery stable in Waubaushene, but the family later moved to Toronto. During the Depression, times were hard so the family was forced to move in with Emma's sister Marie. Marie and her family lived in South Porcupine, which was a mining community in the northern part of Ontario.It seems as though the mines were less impacted by the Depression thanother industries. 

02 Mar 1911 -- Marie-Germaine-Rachelle-Yvette-Lilianne ARBOUR may well win the prize for the longest name. Not many come close. Born in Verner, ON, Lilianne was 1 of 4 children of farmer Joseph-Alexis ARBOUR and his wife Marie-Louise-Virginie-Angelina CHAMPAGNE. She married later in life when she wed Cyrias StGEORGES on 24 May 1954 in Lavigne, ON. They had no children together. Lilianne was 81-years old when she passed away on 01 Dec 1992 in Sturgeon Falls, ON. It is unknown when or whereCyrias died 

08 May 1908 -- Born in Lavigne, Ontario, Joseph-Wallace-"Albert" ARBOUR was the 2nd of 17 children of farmer Joseph-Oscar ARBOUR and his wife Albina BEAUDRY. As a young man, Oscar had moved with his family fromSte-Emelie, Quebec to northern Ontario. It was in the community of Lavigne, that all of Oscar and Albina's children were born and where theirlegacy continues through today. Albert found his own wife in Lavigne and married her there on 15 June 1943. Laurianna GIGUERE was also heartyand from strong pioneering stock. She and Albert brought 7 children into this world: Claude, Emilien,Gerard, Marthe, Jean-Marc, Denise, and Therese. In about 1946, the young family moved from Lavigne to Sturgeon Falls, Ontario,where Albert died on 17 June 1996, at the age of 88. He was buried in the Our Lady of the Visitation Catholic Cemetery in Lavigne. Laurianna then moved back to Lavigne, where she still lived in February 2003. Albert and Laurianna were both able to welcome all 15 of their grandchildren, but Albert passed away before meeting their 8 great-grandchildren.He had 7 Living Arbour 

11 Mar 1864 -- Born in Montreal, QC, Joseph-"Alexandre"-Olivier ARBOUR was one of 13 children born to Louis ARBOUR and Elise BEAUDRY. As a lad, Alexandre appears to have had a small dalliance withMarie-Azilda BEAUTRON-MAJOR and then choseto do the honorable thing. The young couplewas married in Montreal on 19 Apr 1880, when Alexandre was just 16-years old. Their daughter Marie-Azilda ARBOURwas born a scant 5 months later. Little Azilda died less than 2-years later and her mother followedher to the grave in 1884. The laborer and journeyman then began a new life when he wed Marguerite LENOIR-ROLLAND in Montreal on 03 Jan 1889. Twelve children were born to them over the next 20 years, eventually bringing them 17 grandchildren. Alexandre never met any of them, however, as he passed away in Montreal on 09 Sep 1911, at just 47 years of age. Marguerite was a grandmother 9 times over before meeting her demise on 30 Jun 1930. Both were buried in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Catholic Cemeteryin Montreal.

12 April 1881 -- Born in Ste-Emelie-de-l'Energie, QC, Joseph-Alexis ARBOUR was the 2nd of 9 children of farmer Marie-Joseph ARBOUR and Alphonsine DUCHARME. While Alexis was just a teenager, his father Joseph decided to leave what must have been fast-becoming the crowded confines of Ste-Emelie. In the spring of 1899, the whole family arrived on the train in Verner, ON; they then continued on toLavigne, ON. In 1901, the family was found living in MacPherson Township, ON, which is where the community of Lavigne is located within Nipissing District. That year, Joseph and the 3 eldest surviving sons, including Alexis, worked their farm. In Verner on 10 August 1908, Alexis married an older woman when he wed 37-year oldMarie-Louise-Virginie-Angelina CHAMPAGNE. They then had 4 children together, 3 daughters and one son who was born when Evelina was almost 43-years old. Evelina was 79-years old when she died in Lavigne on 02 April 1949. Alexis was 76-years old when he died in Lavigneon09 March 1958. Both of them were buried in Our Lady of the Visitation Catholic Cemetery in Lavigne. Only one grandchild is known for them. 

17 April 1852 -- Born in Joliette City, QC, Ours-Joseph ARBOUR was the 3rd of 12 children of farmer Sulpice-Edouard ARBOUR and his wife Esther TRUDEAU. Somewhat atypical for our ARBOURs, Ours appears to have remained in one place his entire life, as he has been located in JolietteCity from beginning to end. As a young man, Ours worked as a baker (1881) but later returned to his farming roots and became a farmer (1901).In St-Liguori, QC, on 15 May 1883, our 31-year old Ours married 17-yearold Marie-Zephirina GRENIER. Together Ours and Zephirina had 9 children, 3 of whom died in childhood. During the 1901 Census, Ours and family lived in Breau Moulin -- possibly the name of their farm -- which wasin St-Charles-de-Borromèe parish C'est ave?e acusaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»in Joliette City. They owned a 3-room house plus 5 outbuildings on 162 acres. How they ever fit 9 people in a 3-room house is probably beyond the comprehension of most of us today. Ours died shortly after thison21 February 1902, just shy of his 50th birthday. Widowed Zephirina married Narcisse DUVAL on 12 April 1909. She was further alive during the Census of 1911, but nothing is known of her beyond this. 

22 March 1908 - Born in Mont-Laurier, QC, Joseph-Pierre-"Florent" ARBOUR was the 2nd of 11 children born to farmer Adelard ARBOUR and Catherine FENNING. Florent married 22-year old Odile-"Fernande" BEAUREGARD on 09 May 1936 in St-Jean-sur-Lac, QC. Between 1937 and about 1960, theyhad 14 children, 7 daughters and 7 sons, all born in Labelle County, QC. Florent was just shy of his 76th birthdaywhen he died in Mont-Laurier on 06 February 1984. Fernande had just reached her 76thbirthday whenshe died there on 22 June 1990. Help is desperately needed to complete this branch of our tree. 

25 April 1907 -- Born in Waubaushene, Ontario, Marie-"Velma"-VatrinaARBOUR was the youngest of 6 daughters of lumber mill worker Napoleon ARBOUR and his wife Marie-Emma DUPUIS. Her parents likelywould have hadmore children, but Napoleondied whenVelma was just one-year old. After her father's death, Emma married James GARRITY. During the Depression, this blended family moved to mining country in northern Ontario. It was here that Velma married in Timmins, ON, on 16 February1934, to JamesFELL. Velma and James had 4 children, 3 daughters and one son. James passed away sometime before 1996. Velma died between March 2000 and January 2003. It is unknown how many grandchildren they may have. 

25 May 1910 -- Born in Waubaushene, Ontario, Mary-May ARBOUR was the11th of 13 children of farmer, millhand, and general laborer Alfred-Joseph ARBOUR and his wife Mary THERRIEN. One month before her 18th birthday, May married 22-year oldJoseph Charles BOLYEA in Port Severn, ON, on 16 April 1928. Joe worked as a farmer and a mason in the local area. All of May and Joe's children were born in nearby North River, ON, but only 2 daughters and a son grew to adulthood: Yvonne, Burt, and Velma.May was 62 when she passed away in Toronto, ON, on 12 October 1973. Joe was 78 when he died in Coldwater, ON, on 04 October 1984. They were both buried in the City Cemetery in Coldwater, a town in which they had lived for many years. May and Joe canclaim 11 grandchildren and at least25 great-grandchildren. 

: At some point prior to 1891, Domithilde's natural parents -- Narcisse TALBOT and Marie-Louise PARENT -- must have died. She then came into the care of her Uncle George and Aunt Malvina. They became her parents and she lived with them the rest of her years. Like her mother and sister before her, Domithilde died young; she was just 17-years old when she passed away.

After failing in an attempt late lastnight to murder his wife, William Arbour, aged 48, went out to a woodshed in the rear of the house, 214 North Fifty-Second Avenue West, and slashed his throat with a razor. Hisbody was found shortly afterward bySergeant Andree and PatrolmanRoot,who had been sent for by the daughter, whose screams saved her mother's life. Arbour came home about 9 o'clock in the evening and told his daughter Beatrice, aged 16, that "somebody was going to be killed about thehouse," and if he could find her mother he would kill her. The girl was frightened and ran to a neighbor's residence. It was about an hour later that the daughter came back to the house and was attracted by screams of her mother from the kitchen.Rushing to theback to the house, the daughter found her father clutching her mother's throat and waving arazor over her head. The daughter's screams seemed to frighten her father, or at least divert his attention, and he ran out of the house. Thepolicewerethen called and they began searching the neighborhood for Mr. Arbour. They found him about a half hour later, dead, on the floor ofthe woodshed. The body was ordered removed to Filliatraut's undertaking rooms. Divorce proceedings were begunsome time ago by Mrs. Julia Arbour against her husband.

Bio from Facebook on 07 May 2010:
07 May 1863 -- Born in Perce, Quebec, William ARBOUR was the 4th of 10 children of farmer, fisher, and longshoreman John ARBOUR and his wife Mary McCARTHY. William'sstory istragedy personified. He emigrated to theUS with his family somewhere between 1881 and 1893, and settled initially in Wisconsin and then in Duluth, Minnesota, by 1900, possibly as early as 1895. On 29 November 1895, he married 19-year old Julia M. LUCE.Over the next 17 years, the young couple had 11 children, only7 of whomseem to have made it out of childhood: Ethel, Beatrice, Violet, Wilfred, Bernard, Edward, and Jean. Like his father before him, William alsoworkedas a fisherand then a longshoreman. It was not until shortly after his 53rd birthday (not his 48th) that tragedy struck on 52nd Avenue in Duluth during the evening of 26 May 1916. The newspaper account of the time tells quite a tale and leads oneto believe that there were someserious issues at play within the dynamic of this family.

Quite a disturbing story, by any means. Julia was not yet 40, but she attempted to keep her family together and to provide for them.Within a few years of William's death, Julia had married Moses Baker BAILES. While they had no children together, Julia did live a long time and saw thebirths of 9 grandchildren. Moses died in Duluth on 25 August 1948, at about age 81.Juliadiedin Duluth on 19 June 1961, just shy of her 85th birthday. William and Julia's grandchildren have been responsible for bringing 12 more ARBOURs into this world.

From Colleen HARVEY via email <charvey2 a live.com> on 09Jun 2012: Julia Mary Luce, born 12 Jul 1878, was baptized at St Mark's under the name of "Louis" on 21 Jul 1878. . . Julia moved to Duluth at the age of 13 and first lived with her sister Adele. Soon thereafter she moved to a boarding house formen on Gosnold near 51st Avenue West and worked as a domestic. At the age of 17, Julia married 28-year old William Arbour in a Presbyterian Church in Superior, Wisconsin. The date was 29 Nov1895, and witnesses were Mrs. W. L. Tait and Matilda Lathey. William Arbour was born in May 1866 in Quebec. His mother was Mary McCarthy, born in Ireland. He and his father John, his brother John, and his cousin Dan all appear in the Duluth directory for the first timein 1895, livingon 52nd Avenue West in a hotel/boarding house. All were French-Canadian. William was a longshoreman -- loading and unloading ships -- employed summers only. The second husband of Julia's sister Adele, John Girard, was living there, too, at the time. This area of Duluth, known as theWest End, is where all of our relatives lived beginning in the 1880s. In the 1980s, the area was very difficult to get around in because of the freeway system and cut off streets. Betweenthe ages of 17 and35,Julia had 12 children. She has been described by her descendants as being very independent, having in herited a mean temper, and she would throw things around the house when she was angry. The family always lived in arented place and, according to one of their daughters; these places were shacks with no lights, no running water, and no plumbing. William would beat Julia whenever he got drunk. At the time of the 1900 Census, they had been married 4 1/2years; theyhad a 4-yearold,a 2-year old, and one child who had already died. In the 1910 Census, Julia reported thatshe had 9 children, of whom only 5 were living. That Census showed William's 55-year old unemployed brother John and58-year old unemployed cousinDan also living with the family. William was unable to read or write, as were many other French-Canadian immigrants. Julia filed for legalseparation in St Louis County on 11 Mar 1916, charging that her husband was an alcoholic and physically and mentally abusive. The following week an Order of Protection was served on William and he was put under court order not to see her or the children. He had been in the workhousethe previous Nov for abusive behavior and assault. Being angered by therestraining order, William came to his family'shouse very intoxicatedduring the evening of 26 May 1916, got in a fight with Julia, and attemped to kill her by slashing her throat. According to the Duluth HeraldandJulia's daughter Jean, Williamhad Julia on the floor, was sitting on her stomach, and was holding herr head by her long, black hair. He was just about to slash her throat with a razor blade when her 15-year old daughter Beatrice and herboyfriend came to Julia's rescue and the boyfriend got the razor blade away from William. William left the house ina huff and the police were called to begin searching for him. He was found ashort time later in his woodshed, having taken his lifeby slashing his own throat with the razor. According to Jean, Bea's boyfriend hadput the razor on the table, but William grabbed it again before he went out. William was buried from St James Catholic Church in Duluth with interment inCalvary Cemetery there.Julia had amental breakdown following that, the older children were farmed out, and the two youngest, ages 5 and 2, were placed in St James Orphanage, which was connect with the church. They had been surviving only because Julia washed clothes formen in the boarding house, plus the children sold eggs from their chickens. Julia was sick for months, but eventually recovered enough to get a job in a hotel laundry working 7 days a week, 10 hours a day for aweekly salary of $13. She was then able to get heryoung children back home. One22 Feb 1918, at the age of 39, Julia married Moses B. Bailes, who worked at the Iron Works in West Duluth. This was also a civil ceremony,witness being Julia's14-year old daughter Violet Arbour and Ernest Bailes. Julia and Moses, also called Charles, were married for 30 years. During this time we have been told that Julia did what she wanted while Moses stayed home. She occasionally visited her sisters andmother. Sheand Moses lived on 51st Avenue West in 1920and 61st Avenue West in 1930.Moses, born in Ohio, died 25 Aug 1948, at age 81, and was buried from an Episcopal Church with interment in Oneota Cemetery. Julia died 19 Jun 1961, of renal (kidney) diseasein a Duluth hospital. Services were from GoodShepard Catholic Church, with burial in Oneota Cemetery in Duluth.

According to her immigration papers, Ethel reported herself as having been born in Clark's Hill, which is located in Lennox & Addington Co, ON.

LAMIRANDE
Though the stone reads "Lamirandre," it actually is incorrect and should be Lamirande. While this tombstone cannot be read as it is very worn and faint, we were fortunate to obtain a correction (and an older photograph showing the stone intact) from a family member, Mr. Ed Lamirande,a great-grandson, who provided the following information on this tombstone: "I was never able to find out why the family surname was spelled incorrectly. Felix Arbour died on 3 Feb 1886, according to his Holyoke certificate of death, not March "Mars 1887." Felixwas Theodore Lamirande's father-in-law. Theodore's wife, Malvina Arbour (Picard from a previous marriage) is also buried there. Theodore died on 8 Jan 1908 and Malvina died on 19 Feb 1939. The remaining names are some of the children of Theodore and Malvina." Specialthanks to Mr. Lamirande for providing this information!
[http://www.rootsweb.com/~mahampde/cem/shadley/pb/bk/bk-557.html]

According to at least one source, Felix was born about 1805 in Marieville, StCesaire, QC, which we know now tobe incorrect.

According to the index for Felix's Death Registration, he died on 03 Mar 1886.

  Bio from Facebook on 06 May 2010:
  06 May 1881 -- Born in St-Raphael, Quebec, Guillaume ARBOUR was the 5thof 9 children of farmer and sawand grist mill operator Hilaire ARBOUR and his wife Marie-Louise LECLERC. William married 20-year old DemeriseRABY in St-Raphael on 16 June 1908. Immediately after this, the young couple moved to the United States and settled in Lowell, Massachusetts,where William worked as a fixer at a hosiery mill and Demerise worked as a stitcher at a hosiery mill. They only resided in the US fora few years, however, before packing up for the long trek to Saskatchewan. William must have moved his family to Zenon Park, SK, to take advantage ofthe Homesteading Act. This provision soldfolks 160 acres for$10 -- a deal they could not get backin Quebec or Ontario, or even in the US. In 1911, their first of 3 children was born in Zenon Park, although one died while young. William worked as a tanner that year. In 1916 and in 1922, his occupation was reported as farmer, but the family knew him to be a carpenter, making cupboards, doors, butter churns, etc. In May 1922, William and family travelled tothe US via the port of Montreal, QC. They left St-Raphael, QC, wereheaded for his brother Joseph's place at 208 French St in Lowell, MA,and planned to once again remain in the US permanently. William was noted to be 5'8" tall with a medium complexion,brown hair, and green eyes. Demerise was noted to be 5'3" tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and green eyes; she also hadgoiter problems. Seven-year old daughter Juliette had a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. Eleven-year old son Albert had a medium complexion, light brownhair, and brown eyes. The family carried $530 with them. Despite their good intentions, the family did not stay in the US. By November 1925, they were back in Saskatchewan, where they seem to have livedcontinuously through 1949 and even into 1952. William died in Zenon Park on 09 January 1952. He was buried there in Zenon Park Cemetery. Shortly after this, Demerise moved to Kelowna, British Columbia, to live with Juliette. She apparently died there but we have no details of herdemise. William and Demerise are responsible for 11 grandchildren and an unknown number of great-grandchildren.
  
  

From email to Denis ARBOUR on 11 Oct 2010: Ok, Denis, here are all the copies of the little girls' records: Celina's baptism, Celanire's burial, Amaryllis' baptism, and Celanire's burial. Do you think the second burial for Celanire should actually have been attributed to Amaryllis? Did her parents really forget what they named her? Please let me know what you think.

From Denis ARBOUR via email on 19 Oct 2010: No, I don't think Amaryllis' parents forgot what they named her but perhaps the priest did. We know, from the burial record, that her father could not read and neither did the witness. Perhaps the priest made a mistake when he wrote the name, but nobody could tell . . . What do you think?

The surprise was . . .they were only married 49 years! Aunt Lillian had turned 50 in Oct, but she was overa year old when Grandma met and married Grandpa. As it turned out, Grandpa died the following August, months before they really would have been married 50 years.

Catherine sent a picture on 14 Aug 2009, of Isabelle with Jean, Shirley, Donald, Irene, and Kay. She wrote: This picture was taken on my Grandma's 74th birthday (08 Dec 1985). Notice the way my Grandma is holding my Uncle's arm. He'd had cancer surgery; his tongue was removed and a device put in his trachea tohelp him talk. At this momentin time, I was newly engaged. Only my mother in this picture would attend my wedding 9months later. Five months after this picture, my gallbaldder ruptured and I was rushed into emergency surgery. Upon waking, various aunts anduncles would pop in to see me. When my Uncle Reggie popped in (he's from out of town), I got hysterical. The nurse came in and told my mom that she would have to "tell me." (I was 23 and thought I was dying.) Momtold me thatGrandma was one floor above me. She'd had a major heart attack and they didn't think she'd pull through. It had happened while I was in surgery.She survived. Wedding plans were in full bloom and Grandma told me she wouldn't be at my wedding.She would die soon. The week before my wedding, Grandma came to stay with us. On the Thursday morning(the day she was going back to my aunt's), she insisted I open my wedding present. I told her that she could watch me open it on Saturday atthewedding. She told me, no, she wouldn't be there. She died that night. All of Mom's siblings didn't come to the wedding because they were at her visitation. Three months later the cancer killed my Uncle Donald and6 months later Mom's sister Jean died in bed of a massive heart attack. Mom lost 3 family members in 9 months. I am extremely close to the remaining 2 aunties in the picture.

From Catherine via email on 20 Aug 2009: My mother is one of 10 as you know - 5of hersiblings have one or more children with mental health issues....mom plus 4 of her sibligs had alcohol issues....and 4 of them have alcohol issues with their children. My grandfather (Joseph AlexanderArbour) was an alcoholic and his father was as well. I sometimes wonder if there is a gene that runs in the family. When I hit the age of majority I tried drinking, found that I liked the taste and after getting drunk two or three times decided I wasn't going to carry on the familytradition. I haven't had a drink since before I married - 23 years this Sunday.

 From "A Whispered History: The Early Days of BuchananTownship" http://bright-ideas-software.com/WhisperedHistory/settlers.html
FIGHTING FOR & AGAINST THE LAND IN BUCHANAN TOWNSHIP [Elizabeth Bond] During the 1830s, as the square timber business was being drawn further up the Ottawa River in search for large white pines to ship to Europe, timbermen began settling on plots of land along the river's shores.These men and their families would come from New England or New France, and were for the most part wholly unprepared for the rough conditionsthat they would face. The settlers would come with the spring thaw andbegin by building a basic shelter and barn to have shelter for the upcoming winter, and perhaps clearing a small area of forest for a garden. The men,and often young boys, would leave their farms in late fall and labor in the lumber camps until thespring when the logs were ready to be driven down the Ottawa River to Quebec City. Fortunate men would be asked to stay on for the spring drivewhich paid quite well because it was dangerous work. At the end of their work term, the men would be paidfor their season's workand would return to their small farms with supplies. The early settlers soon learned that the agricultural conditions inBuchanan were far from ideal. Much of their acreage was either swampy or sandy; the arable soil that they did possess was incredibly rocky and contained old growth forest that needed to be painstakingly cleared at a rate of about anacre a year. Large stone piles scattered densely across Buchanan today attest to the backbreaking work that went in toturning forest into fields. Still, it was a worthwhile exercise for the early settlers to attempt to farm their land in orderto support their families. Supplemental cash income could be made after 1854 by selling firewood to the passing steamboatscarrying freight and passengers up the Ottawa River between Pembroke and Des Joachims. In many cases, this smallextraincome made a great difference to the struggling families. Also, for those lucky enough to get ahead, the logging camps would purchase surplus stores of food and hay from nearby farmers and this would provide an extra income. The originalLawfarm, located on the rise above the lighthouse, was one such depot farm. The early settlers and the area First Nations seemed to have gottenalong quite well. The white settlers respected the Natives who had the knowledge and skills tosurvive in theirshared harsh surroundings. Both groups of people were anxious to learnfrom each other, and within a generation white settlers and Nativeinhabitants were living as neighbors. As Buchanan turned into a growing community during themid-nineteenth century, centralized government administration in Upper Canada had a hard time keeping up. Plots of land were not formally surveyed until many years after it was settled, and land disputes had to be settled in informalways.Gerald retells a story passedon to him about a boxing match that took place between Joseph Nadeau and Baptiste Leduke with a referee and in front of a crowd ofpeople, so that the results ofthe contest would be binding as witnessed bythecommunityin lieu of legal papers. Gerald recalls another account of unofficial justice in the early days of settlement. An unintentional manslaughtertook place in the mid-1800sat Foran's Stopping Place, one of 2 hotelslocated inBuchanan Township.Innkeeper Patty Foran's wife subdued a rowdy patron with a candlestick over the head. The troublemaker was put outside, where he was forgotten about and froze to death. It wasdecided that Pat would take responsibility forthedeath. The next time a traveling judge came up the river, Pat presentedhimself at a place referred to as Court Island. He was sentenced to two years of prison in Ottawa. Patpaddled the judge back to Ottawa on his way to serve his sentence. An account ofthishappening was recorded in The Ottawa Journal in April 1925 in an article entitled "Old Time Stuff."
EARLY FARMING IN BUCHANAN TWP [Gerald Nadeau] "They cleared some of theroughest landthat you could possibly attempt to work with,for some reason. I guess it was because it was close to the river and they didn't want to go any further away because their workplace was the river. So you had to make your garden behind your house -if it meant moving stones that what you'ddo, a lot of stones. And most of these little farms onlyhad two cows or three, a pig - in fact, the early people didn't even keep a dog, because it was a waste of food. And I don't know if they kept acat or not; I imagine thatthey didn't even have one of those. You needed very little. The little rough patches of cleared land seemed to give them a bare amount of agriculturerequired to keep a family. And that meant if the man went in to make square timber or hew timber for a lumber company, his wife would have to stay home,feed the cow, or cows, and she would be responsible for looking after whatever gave them milk for their family. I never heard of people having chickens, real early. And theykepta pig, but the pig was onlykept in summer because in winter,it was the winter's food. But those little farms seemed to give enoughfood for a cow, and enough turnips and potatoes for a family to use because everybody seemed to have a rootcellar, sothatmeant that theywere growing enough to keep, to have a storage to put it in. But the men whoworked in the square timber business seemed to make enough money that thespending of a family might be a hundred dollars in a year,maybenot muchmore.But it was only the very necessary things that you had to buy,which was probably tea, sugar, cloth or possibly needles, thread, justthe most bare things that a household would need. You wouldn't be putting curtains on windows or thingsof that nature.And you might buy a potor pan or two, if you had extra money.Or a pane of glass for your windows. I guess in those days if you had to buy this you'd have to bring it allthe way up the river. When the men would return from the rafting,theyused tocome by canoe. They had an outfit called a stage that used to come overland between one watercourse and another, so that they'd come up through let's say Fitzroy Harbour,andthen they'd have a stage towhereverthe next point was.So it would take probably 6 to 10 days to come from Quebec City to the Ottawa Valley. So you'd have to carry and canoe the purchases you made, and bring those home. You couldn't spend alot ofmoney because you couldn't carry home a great deal. The little bit of landalong with the work they did was enough to raise a family inthose conditions."
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NATIVES & WHITE SETTLERS IN BUCHANAN [Gerald] "The Natives and the people when they first came here, theyseemed to bedependent on each other. Because they depended on the Natives to learn the things the natives knew and sometimes, to get help from the Natives. And the Natives never seemed to feel that they were less important than the white people because theyneeded each other forthesame reasons. The Natives made .. for sickness. Somebody would go to one of those native women, the older women, and they would get cures made up for what they had. If you wanted snowshoes, you had to go to theNatives to getthem, because they couldtan the hides, and if you wanted deerskin mitts, you'd have to go to a Native again. And if you wanted help and the Nativewas your only neighbour, if you couldwork the way that the Native wanted to work, you could get himto helpyou. That meant hewould come when it suited him, not when it suited you. They were able to live together quite well. I'll showyou later the rocking chair this old girl used to sit on.She said that when she was just a small girl, her mother had two cows, and she used to make butter, and in the springtime when the grasswas good and the cows would milk better she'd have extra butter, and some days there'd be 20 canoes coming down the[Ottawa] River, at one time in one group. And all the womenwould be paddling,andall the small kids had a little paddle, and she said she'd see all the little faces along the gunnels of the canoe, wanting to see the whitepeople because someof them had never seen white people. They'd all get lined up andpeek over the top of thecanoe. And then they'd come in, and the men would getout in the water, about waist deep.They'd come in, and some of them had beenthere before, and they'd want to buy butter. She'd have the butter in wooden bowls,and they'd take thebutter downonthe rocks, and they'd eat the butter just like candy, with their hands. Yep, butter to themwas like candy. But themen were the only oneswho got the butter,because the women and the small children stayed in the canoe withthe dogs. And shesaidthey used to be going to Ft William and the smoke wouldbe so heavy from so many campfires, it was just like afog, up in the trees. And everybody came with whatever dogs they had left from the year before,and they turned them all loose.The dogs wouldfightand they'd breed, they'd bark and they'd run, it was a holy terror the first week when they'dall come in. Thewomen would fish andcook and the men would sleep most of the summer. And every day the priest would say a mass and he'd have tobe paid for it. So this was how they got the money from the Natives. If somebody had died in the bush theyear before, you could havea mass said for them even though they were buried out in the bush where you'd never see them again. Butthey were then taught that this new religion, you could just request and the guy was in heaven as soon as the mass wasfinished. So a lotof them were, how would you put it, taken? Because their beliefs were just about as soundas what they were being taught.Then in the fall they said that they were down there one time and thisguy had ayoung family and his wifehaddied in the bush and he had spent the summer in Fort William. And they were ready to go back up to I guessKippawa orTemagami or Temiskamang maybe, but hehad to have a mother for those children. Because a man alone couldn't lookafter small ones inthebush. So one of the guys had a daughter who wasn't married, and Ithink you could picture somebody being maybe a little on the slow side, or god knowswhy. But it didn't matter. When the bargain wasmade between the man who lost his wife andthe father who had this girl who was not yet married, she would be up going with this other family when the fall came. So they happened to be there the time that the father brought the girl down to get her married by the priest who was there. And ittooktwo ofthem to hold her while the marriage was going on. She couldn'tspeak no English but the father knew a little, and the old fellatoldmethewords hesaid: Whatever her name was, he used her name, andhe said you're going tomarry untoone Joe Mackenzie. Joe Mackenzie was the native who had lost his wife and had the small children. So when the ceremony wasover, it was legal. They put her in the canoeand pushed out, and that wasit. It was survival at a time when he could have lost his small kids if hewent into the bush with no one to care for them. It's a strange thing when you thinkback but when you see today's world,you know, howoftendoyousee separations and other things which don't work."
EARLYSTEAMBOATS BROUGHT EXTRA INCOME [Gerald] "Most of those steamboatswere put on there for a money making business. And they charged peoplefor freight and passengersboth. The freightcamefrom Pembroke, because the railroad only came as far as Chalk River. The steamboat had a crew of sometimes up to six and eight people. Some had a cook. There was deck hands, generally four. There was a pilotwhoknew the[Ottawa] River, anda Captain.Andthere were always a couple of extras who were kept to fillin different jobs. They were steam and had boilers and used wood. Andthe wood was bought from the farm people andbushworkers wholived alongthe River. But you hadtohavea wharf to put your wood on, or else share your wharf with your neighbour. And this was where the trouble always started with selecting the land along the River. Some people liked to get their sons side byside, so that they could share the samewharf. Because the wharfwas then your job. If you could put wood on the wharf you gotcash money for it, so anybody that was fortunate enough to have a wharf location would be like today having agas station on a busy corner. The deck handswheeled thewood in and theywheeledit in on wheelbarrows, and came down the ramp and dumped itintothe hull, and they could take a quarter cord in today's measurement of wood on a wheelbarrow. And then dump it down the hole in the hull that was cut toputthe wood in, and thenthe boiler man had access to that wood from below deck. And one of themost disgraceful things that could ever happen to a deck hand was that he couldn't handle his loadwhen he got down to the hole inthe deck and the wheelbarrow would godown into thehull and he'd be cursed forever for that."
FIGHTING FOR LAND IN BUCHANAN [Gerald] "And what happened was, poor oldJoe wanted to get the piece adjoining to theone hehad already got, sohis twosonscould live side byside. Of course,Baptiste [Leduke]wanted a piece of that, and he didn't want thedunes. The sand dunes were worthless, as far as growing anything. So, someone said 'OK, you two guys are pretty gooddefenders of your rafts. Let's seewhich oneof you willget the piece of land.' This was afair competition between people who did notdislikeeach other. It was a physical-what would we say-test in a sense, but not in an angry way. Just astwo wrestlers might compete, and whenit's over they shake hands and thewinnertakesthepurse,you know?So this is how that was done. It wasn't donein a sense of anger, no. Isidore Richard was the referee for fair play at this meeting. Isuppose they would just have apiece of groundthat wouldbe big enoughthatthey would nothave room to move, andof course the families of both would as today's ballgames go, cheer for the side you wanted to win. And the old fella that I got this storyfrom said hisfather had told him about the goings onat this meeting,and Mrs.Baptiste was running around incirclesaround the outside telling him in French to 'Hithard, hit hard!' because he wasn't hitting hard enough. Andshe knew the outcome was notgoing to be good. "
WOMEN OFCHARACTER [Elizabeth] As womenfollowed their husband'sintothe Upper Ottawa Valley beginning in the 1830s, they met extreme hardships that their upbringings in settled New England or New France never couldhaveprepared them for. Survival alone provedto be quite a challenge, andraising a familywas even more difficult. ElizabethLeroy (nee Baines) was the first female settler in Buchanan Twp. She came with her husband Simon Leroy, a skilled square-timber hewer anda former United Empire Loyalist. Previously,Elizabeth wasa schoolteacher inNew England. She opened the upperfloor of her house as the first school in Buchanan, and herown daughters were among the first students. This employ kepther busyduring the cold months of the year when her husbandwas working inthe lumber camps further back in the bush. It is hardtoimagine what difficulties the wives of the lumbermen had to facewhile their husbands were away. They were left alone to care forthe children,tend to the animals, andkeep a fire stoked. Theirnearest neighbors were a difficultwinter'swalkaway,and perhaps lonelinesswas as harsh as the cold. When onehears theanecdote about Mrs. Richard, wife of one of the earliest French settlers in Buchanan, out inthe middle of the night chasing after a bear because ithad grabbed the family swine,one canbegin to imagine the courage and determination required by these early female settlers. While all ofthe wives of lumbermenwere virtually single parents from autumn to spring each year, they could takesome solace in thefact that their husbands wouldreturnwhen the river ice broke up, and that they would bring household supplies and money (if they hadn't spent it all at Stopping Places along the way). However, the lumber business was dangerousand the widows of the lumbermen killed on the job could count on no such support.The story ofwidow Emmy Chequen, who was left to raise her sevenchildren on a minisculemonthly allowance, highlights how tragedy could strike down afamily and only strength of character could pull the women through.Women often hadto seek ways to supplement their household income.During prohibition, Buchanan also was rich with headstrong women who made sought-after whiskey. Rosina Brunelle was one of the best-known brewers inthe township. She was a tiny French Canadianlady who used to ride a bicycle on a high wire at the Quebec Midway before coming tothe Valley. Another favorite whiskey maker was Mrs. BobChequen, Emmy's sister-in-law.Once, when caught by the authorities with a washtub full of peeledpotatoes outbehind the barns, she made the excuse that her ill sow's digestive system couldn't handle the peels and was let off the hook. Perhapsthe most impressive women to havegraced Buchanan Township was Viola McCarthy (nee Blimkie). Viola was bornon afarm in Buchanan, and as a young bride of 19 she took over the mail-delivery contract that her husbandcould no longer carry out. Viola delivered the mail to the 37 familiesinBuchanan throughout theyear and in all weather. She used horse andcutter inthewinter months, surmountingincredible drifts of snow that madereaching each homestead a challenge. She helped uneducated residents to read their letters and write responses. She often gave residents lifts to the main road, and duringWWII whengas and tireswere rationed she acted as ambulance.Along with the mail, she delivered household items such as 100-pound bags of flour, hen feed, and even small livestock.On one occasion she evendelivered ababy. Perhapsoneof the mostimportant thingsthat Viola brought the women of Buchanan Township was the Eaton's catalogue. They looked forward to its deliveryand, for a fewstolen minutesof thedays that followed, would wistfully daydreamabout the fine things that would have no use in the harsh and unforgiving Buchanan wilderness.
MRS. RICHARD TRIES TO RECOVER FAMILY PIGFROM A BEAR [Gerald] "Mrs.Richard was left with the small children she had, and Mr. Richard went towork in the square timber business in the fall, and they had apenwith a pig in it not far from their cabin, and she heard the pig squeal. The biggest threat then was bears.She went out andheard the pig squealing. Shehad a littlelanternwhich was a candlein a frame. She got some pans orsomething that could makeanoise, thinking that she could maybe scare thebear, but the bear had liftedthe pig over the log fence with his frontpaws and he got into the bush with it. So she followed him as she thought, I guess he'll drop the pig anytime. He didn't. So it was afightto see who was going to get the pig. So finally she got far enough away fromthe cabin or house that she couldn't go any farther with the small kids so she had to come back and let the pig go.So that was their winter's supplyof meat. And you know, I've got a book called TheFoxfire and they have a bear proof pigpen in theAdirondacks. And those people livedmuch like the people where we lived. They usedthe same system of thinking. Itwas exactly.When Iread that, I hadto read some ofit twice because Icouldn't believe that people in another part of the country would be so much alikeand be so distant. But those people in the AppalachianMountains had thesame thinking pattern as we had at the river, using an uneducated way of dealingwith things."
LOST COMMUNITY & WHAT WAS LEFT TO LOSE [Elizabeth] Life for the second generation of settlers in Buchanan was perhaps moredifficult thoughless isolated than it was for thefirst settlers. Inthe1850s and 1860s,asthe lumber trade begantorequire more unskilled labourers and winter supplyroutes, the construction of amajor transportation artery from Pembroke to Mattawa wasbegun.
FAILING LAND THATSETTLERS LOST [Gerald] "You would notice a cow path onthe outside of the fences, not on the inside. It didn't seem strange then because none of us ever knew thatyou had to feed cows in summertime. In summer they were supposed to find the food themselves. And they weren't to get that in the field. The field was used to grow winterfood for them. So the fences were put around the field, and the cattle beinghungry, they would look at the field and want to go in,so they'd have apath around the fence. And every farmerseemed to have that same way of thinking. Because youdidn't have enough land to grow and to pasture as well. ALEC ARBOUR was one ofthepeople who lived at the .. near theAtomicPlant [where it is located today], and he was a very serious man. He was a very honest person and he looked at things in a serious fashion. And he had a son who went to work for the railroad andbecame a section man in Westmeath. And one dayhis son came up and got him to take him down for a visit and when theygot below Pembroke near Westmeath the cattlewere insidethe fences.Theywere in fields that looked like hayfields. But inWestmeath they were pasture fields! So heinsisted to his son to stop hiscar.He said 'I got to go in and tell that farmer that his cows are inhis hay.' And the son said 'Dad, that's not a hayfield. That's a pasture.' 'Well,' he said, 'where I come from, that's ahayfield!' And hisson said 'Well, don't go in there and tellhim that his cattlearein there 'cause he'll laugh. Becausethat's what it's like down here.We have fields ofsummer feed for cattle.' But there's an awful difference inthe waythat people who have can live, and people who have not can. It's thatsimple. You make due with what you have. And even the cattle had theirshortages. Because they were expectedto eat leavesand grasses along thepaths and places. We know today that you can'tkeep animals in that condition. And as I look atthat now, Isee that our animals were the worst ones off, because they had to dowith much less than they should have. That'sdogs, cats, horses,and cattle. Every one.I look backtoday and Ifeel sorry that conditions were that bad for anything. And the reasonwas that people didn't have the necessaryfeed for them or the money to buy it. So maybe in that sense, everybody might be betteroff.Animals included."
A COMMUNITY LOST [Gerald] [Elizabeth: How did the residents knowthat they were losing their land?] "They werevisited by a person that represented thepurchasing people, and they were told bythem that the landwas being lookedatas apotential site for development of some sort. Few peopleknew what it wasfor, but they vaguely thought that it had something todo with the war, because at that point in time the warwas notgoing favorable. So they came and told the people that there was a chance that that land would be purchased and they would have to move. Then it created a division. The olderpeople did not want to move. The younger, who were not attached as much to the land, they looked on that area as one thatdidn't furnish any opportunity.An opportunity to make a living was very limited. Butthenthe older people could not, were too old to work, sothey had nogains by the Government buying their property. So that divided the people in their thinking. The old people did not want toleave the [Ottawa] River. It was the River they were gonna miss. Becausesome knew that they'd never get back to that river again. It's nota big thingbut it's an important thing when that's all a person has. It wassadness, really. Sadness. The water smell, it's hard to explain. But the smell of the River was one of the most nicest things I remember about it.Why, I can't tell you. Strange, eh, that something like that can stand out asbeing important? Whenyoudon't have too much,the littlethings mean more. And the smell of water eventoday, I likeit because I can almost recall that same thing again. The memories and history ofneighboursand thingsthat you had toleave behind,that was the saddestand the mostnoticeable loss. Not the value ofthe land that wasleft, so much asthe breakingup of the groups of people that lived by the River. It wasas if a glass was shattered into many pieces because noone could ever regroupagain.You had to go your separate ways because therewas not available places for you so that the numbers of people could ever live close together again. And that was one of the losses that wasthe most severe, I would say."
RELOCATING A LIFE CAN BEA PAIN INTHE NECK [Gerald]"The year beforewewere going to leave, acookhouse was built outof logs, which was supposed to be a great improvement to the leaner thatwas there before. This thingwas goingto have a stove init and wecould whittle inthere in the winter, which was whatI wanted intheworst way. We'd just got the thing-the logs of it-up, and the roof part of it on, when the Government came and said 'You guys are going to haveto leave, and get out.'But anyway, Roger went in thespringtime, and his time was running out, andhe was livingin the old house at the river where the lighthouse is. And he had withhim alady who was a French woman; she was a little thinwoman. Andshe was down at theold house. He wentup tothe clearance and took someofthese logsoff the summer kitchen to takeit tomove it down to the old house and then take it up the river. He puton someof these logs and started down the hill and right where the road takes a bend, thewater was washing-there was a little streamthere-sotheice had sort ofwashedout underoneside, and unknown to him when he came to this place where the icewouldn't support the sled, it broke away. Andhe went down frontward and went overthe frontof the loadand got underthe logs. He was therefor two or three hours before she realized hewasn't coming back, something waswrong. When she came up, she saw the situation but she couldn't do anythingabout it because she couldn't liftthe logs. She had to walk up the icetoBalmer's Bay, towhere John Robert lived, and get him tocome withher. And the two of them managed to unload thelogs off him.They got him tothe hospital and I remember seeing him in thehospital, and they hadhimall tied upwith pulleys and ropes and whathaveyou because hislegs wereall broken andthey were incasts, you know? He lived through that, and the last time he gotinto problems was he was coming home fromthe BywaysHotel one night and walked in themiddleof the highway and another car cameand hit him again! With broken legs and arms and whateverI guess you can imagine andthey thought, 'What are wegonna do with him now?' [Laughter]. Oh, he had a good sense of humor, but he was ninetytwo or threewhen he died."
COMING FULL CIRCLE [Gerald] "You weretorn from something that had grew on you, or inyou, without giving you a choice, or saying 'Do you want to give this up, or don't you?' Andthere's something about saying it in that fashion that makes youa bit bitter. Becauseyou don't have a choice. It's like someone imposingsomething on you,you know? And you think 'Ohlord, I'm human, Ilive in a free country, why do Inot have a choice?' Because you were led to believe that you owned the little block of landthat youlived on. And thensomeonecomes along and says 'Sorry,I'm taking it from you. You don't own it, you're only sittinghere. We allowed you tostay here, and we're taking it back.' Butno one ever told youbeforethat this would be taken from you. Well, I'vejust come to the conclusion not thatmany weeks ago, that the trade-off was worthit. So I thoughttomyself, I've often felt bad about leaving the[Ottawa] River, but forthe good they've done, I wouldsay it was worth it. Yep,because if we hadto depend onfar-away things we would be ina very difficultsituation. Irethoughtthat. I always didn't like having to leave the river that I left,but then asI got into a tight spot where I did have need for the service of that hospital, I thought to myself 'This is payback time. I'mgetting paid back withinterestfor what I lost.' Does that answer you?"
THE STORYTELLER Gerald Nadeau spent his boyhood years in BuchananTownship on his Uncle Roger's farm, helping to tend to the lighthouse and observing the people around him. He can recall storiesabout the early dayswithacrystal clear memory.These stories cover the time from 1830 when the first homesteaders laid claim to unyielding plots of land along the Ottawa River, to 1944 when HisMajesty The King expropriated the Township ofBuchanan for thewar effort. Today, Gerald is one of the only remaining links that enable historians historians to catch a glimpse at whatdaily life in an Ottawa Valley pioneer community was like. A Whispered Historyaims to share Gerald's unforgettable stories, both hearteningand heartbreaking, about the settlers of Buchanan Township before they are forgotten forever.

16 April 1876 -- Born in St-Raphael, QC, Leon ARBOUR was the 2nd of 12 children of farmer and later mill employee Jean-Michel ARBOUR and his wife Josephine LESSARD. These 12 children are the reason Michel and Josephinewere able to apply for a special land grant from the Government ofQuebec, which extended such a privilege to families simply because they had 12 children. However, it is not clear that Michel and Josephine ever received their land, as they decidedto emigrate to the US in about 1898, initially settling in the Willimantic, Connecticut, area. Just a few years after their arrival, Leon married 18-year old Sophronie BERTRAND in Willimantic on 21 June 1901. Between 1902and 1916, Leon and Sophronie had 10 children born in Connecticut, Quebec, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, indicating how much they moved around. Throughout his life, Leon supported his family in various ways: Cotton Weaver (1900),Carpenter at a Mill (1910), Machinist withanAuto Repair Company (1918), Repairman with an Auto Shop (1920). According to his WWI Draft Registration, Leon was of medium height and medium build, withbrown eyes and grey hair. Leon was just 49 when he died in Holyoke, Massachusetts, on 09 July1925. Sophronie then enlisted a partner to assist her in raising her children. On 15 October 1927 in Holyoke, Sophronie married 47-year old Jeremie GIROUX. Sophronie was 66 when she died in Holyoke on 07 January 1950. Leon and Sophronie gave rise to17 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.

An article from artdaily.org on 07 Apr 2010, which mentions Madeleine by name near the end:
The Convivial Art of the Cocktail at NOMA
New Orleans -- In spite of the somewhat convoluted and dry definition provided above, the origin of the term cocktail is surrounded by heated controversy, with advocates of each variantstoutly maintaining the veracity of theirparticular definition.What appears certain is that the word "cocktail" appeared in the second half of the 18th century. Some contend that the term was derived from the tap, or cock, for pouring ale. When the bottom of the barrel was reached, it was called the "cock tail." Others maintain that the word was coined by one of the patrician Carters of Virginia, who while traveling in the countryside was served a fermented drink of poor quality and upbraided the innkeeper, saying, "Hereafter, I shall drink cocktails ofmy own brewing!" Another school attributes the origin of the term to Betsy, a popular Revolutionary War-era barmaid in Hall's Corners, New York, who served a potent drink dubbedBetsy's Bracers by its consumers. A group of these patrons of the tavern managed to steal a number of male pheasants from the detested invading British officers, plucked the tail feathers and attached them to their hats and proceeded to the Hall's Corners tavern for a raucous celebratory party. They toasted Betsy andher bracers with, "Here's to the divine liquor which is as delicious to the palate as the cocks' tails arebeautiful to the eye!" A French officer serving with the American armyresponded with "Vive le cocktail!" Still others say that General GeorgeWashington decorated his hat with cock feathers and that his officersroutinely toasted him with, "Here's to the cock's tail." Of particularinterest to New Orleanians is the tale of the Sazerac, widely held to be the first genuine cocktail and devisedby Antoine-Amedé Peychaud, whohad earlier invented Peychaud's Bitters, a distinctive ingredient of the Sazerac, in Santo Domingo. Fleeing the revolution there at the end of the 18th century, Peychaud opened the Pharmacie Peychaudon RoyalStreet. There he served his Peychaud Bitters-flavored drinks to friends in a coquetier, or eggcup. The coquetier was soon corrupted to "cocktail." Whatever the elusive origin of the word, itis certain that it entered common parlance in this country andEngland by the early 19th century and firmly remains there. It is equally certain that no one is going to agree as to a specificorigin for the term. Of course, the cocktail never would have come to be without the presence of alcoholic, or spirituous, beverages, and they were not available until the dawn of organized agriculture. It is thought that the first alcoholicdrink was palmwine, which originated in Mesopotamia about 2400 BCE. The Babylonians made considerable use of fermented drinks;in writing the earliest known legal text, they included a law regulating drinking houses and taverns. The ancientGreeks were frequent imbibers, and their literature contained numerous warnings against the excessive use of intoxicating drink.Later,the Romans had a separate god of wine, Bacchus, and worshipped him with enthusiastic bouts of drinking. In the history of fermented drink, it is apparent that it was used ecclesiasticallyand socially for many diverse purposes. In the social arena,strong drink has been used to provide courage in battle, to calm feuds, seal pacts and treaties, celebrate festivals and such important events as births, marriages, and the termination of war and to seduce lovers. In medieval Europe, fermented beverages were used both as folk medicine and as preservatives. By 1250, the technique of distillation became widely known throughout Europe, permitting the production of stronger and more convenient alcoholic beverages. Until the early years ofthe 16th century, however, most distilled liquors -- such as brandy -- were created from wineandwere available only to the most affluent segments of society. By 1600, liquor wasa customary part of the regular food rations of Europe's armies and remainedso until well into the 19th century. Around 1650, the Dutch developed gin by distilling grain and the juniper berry, and the new drink quickly made its way to England via soldiers returning from fighting intheLow Countries. In 1690, Parliamentpassednew laws encouraging the distillation and sale of spirits in order to create additional revenuesfor the landed aristocracy. During the 19th century, the abuse of alcohol noted by earlier generations became alarmingly widespread as peopleattempted to cope with the vast socioeconomic upheavals created by theIndustrial Revolution. However, costly wines, liqueurs and distilled potables were expected appurtenances at grand social events. The upper-class after-dinner ritual of gentlemen remainingin the dining room for cigars and port,brandy, or cognac became fixed and persisted well into the 20th century. The widespread use of liquor by both sexes grew increasingly at the close of WWI, an event most historians concur marked the demise of prudish Victorian standards. Alcohol came to beviewedas a convenient and pleasant tool for introducing people of widely differing backgrounds. Invitations to "come for drinks" became part of an importantbonding ritual, and the modern-day cocktailparty was born, quickly becoming a standard social event among all classes but the poorest. So ubiquitous did these gatherings become that specific attire for women wasdesigned: the cocktail dress, the cocktail hat, and the cocktail ring are but three of the best known examples. As thecocktail party proliferated through the 1920s, 1930s,and on, so did the concoction of new and exotic drinks. Although the United States was enmeshed in Prohibition from 16 January 1920, until 8 December1933, the legal ban on the publicsaleofalcoholdid little to curb enthusiasm for the cocktail party in this country and, of course, had little effect abroad. Here, speakeasiesand rum runners proliferated whilenew and exotic drinks were concocted, the Pink Lady, theWardEight,andthe Singapore Sling among them. For these, special glasses and goblets were created; again, the Old-Fashioned glass and the martini goblet are but two well-known examples. New implements and accessories were devised, andthe well-appointed domestic bar included olive and fruit slice dishes as well as accompanying picks.Cocktail shakers, pitchers, stirring spoons, novelty corkscrews, and bottle openers were all expected accessories. The present exhibition celebrates not onlythe relatively short history of the cocktail but also the history of the consumption of fermented beverages from the Late Classical world to the Renaissance and continuing to the present day. Onview are more than 125 objects dating from thethirdcentury to modern times, covering the use of beer and wine before and after the invention of the distilling technique and the subsequent introduction of liquors suchas rum, gin, and whiskey. These objects include drinking vessels in metalandglass,decanters,punch bowls, bottle stands, carafes, pitchers, cocktail shakers, and such diverse bar implements as swizzle sticks, muddlers, bottle openers, corkscrews, and mixing tools. The exhibitionis presented in memory of the legendaryadvertisingcopywriterand London hostess Madeleine E. Andersen (1932-2003) who most definitely relished the numerous cocktail parties she so deftly organized for more than 50 years. Devoted to the martini, Mrs. Andersen frequently recommended thedrinkto her guests statingthat hers were "divinely dry, darling."
