Immigrated to the USA about 1871.

According to the 1900Census, Israelwas born in Quebec in Nov 1853. Asreported in the local newspaper, Israel was seemingly quite a proficient student. In 1858, he received 2nd place in French Lecture, 2nd place in French Writing, and an Honorable Mention for his performance in his Epellation Class. He also received1st place in his Catechism Class. The following year, he received Honorable Mention in French Writing. According to his great-granddaughter, LizPINKERTON: Israel came into Michigan (living somewhere in the area from Saginaw Baynorth to Alpena) fromQuebec in the late 1800's.

Israel apparently applied several times for citizenship. He has a "first paper" numbered V2P133, a "first" and "second" paper numbered B3P130,and another "second paper" numbered V6P38. It is unclear what datesareassociated with these, although all were submitted in Michigan

• Note:

• Alma waseither born shortly before or shortly after her father's death. In any case, she was indeed baptised after her father's death. It appears as though her mother Philomene travelled all the way from Lowell, MA, to haveher baptised at home in St-Raphael, QC. This lends itself well to the assertion that Alma was born in Lowell, MA. Shortly after the little girl's baptism, Philomene must have left the baby with her parents, as it was no doubt next to impossible for a single mother to raise a child. Afew years later Philomene remarried; Alma seems to have never again lived with her mother even though her mother went on to have at least 5 more children with her second husband.

Bio from Facebook on 20 May 2010:
20 May 1876 -- Born in Perce, Quebec, Mary ARBOUR was the 9th of 10 children of fisher, farmer, and longshoreman John ARBOUR and his wife MaryMcCARTHY. When she was just a little girl, Mary's family emigrated from Canada to the US, settling in Minnesota in the 1880s. Mary married there in about 1898 to a man named James BROWN, who was about 10 years her senior. The youngfamily established their home in Duluth, MN, where they had 6 children, 3 daughters and 3 sons: Ella, Clarence, Mary, Ralph, Edmund, and Margaret. During their married life, James worked as a common laborer as well as a laborer at a furnace works.He died sometime after the 1930 Census, taken in Aprilof that year. Mary was 80-years oldwhen she died on her birthday in 1956.

She had 7 children

Annie was actually baptised with the name Odila ARBOUR.

There were two birth dates listed for Annie in the 1901 Census -- 1886 was crossed out and written over with 1887. However, it is doubtful that she was born in March and her sister Margaret wasborn in the following Dec or Jan. Although if this is correct, it could explain the death of their mother shortly afterward.

According to Sharon (WATSON) ARBOUR, Annie was born 25 Dec 1886. She also says that Annie was born in Chalk River, Renfrew Co, ON.

She had one child with Langlois

She had one child with Joseph Arbour named Joseph.

her husband Joseph died in june 1953

she remarried Joseph Langlois in nov 1854

She gave birth to a child in april 1855, soit is apparent she was already pregnant when she married Langlois. The child was baptized Charles ILLEGITEMATE, but used the last name ARBOUR ,not Langlois

She married twice and had no kids

Nashua Telegraph (NH) -- Saturday 08 Dec 1973
MRS. MARIE L. FREDETTE
Mrs. Marie L. (Arbour) Fredette, 69, of 17 Elm St, a native and lifelong resident of Nashua, died at a local hospital Friday night following ashort illness. She was born in this city 24 Jan 1904, to the late William and Delima (Theberge) Arbour. She is a former employee of the Nashua Mfg Co and Jackson Mills, where she had worked for more than 40 years. She was educated in Nashua schools and was a communicant of St-Louis-de-Gonzague Church. She is survived by her husband. Arthur R. Fredette;three sisters, Mrs. Blanche Marquis, Mrs. Odile Desmarais, and Mrs. Angelina Bilodeau, all of Nashua; also, several nieces, nephews, and cousins. The Anctil Funeral Home is incharge of arrangements.

After their wedding, the young couple may have initially settled in Ste-Emelie-de-l'Energie but probably moved on after a short time. By 1911, they apparently lived in Labelle County, Quebec, and eventually hadfour sons and seven daughters. Theyalso became godparents to nephew Donat BLAIS while still in Ste-Emelie in May 1905. 

As a young man, George travelled to Ontario and remained there for as much as couple of years. In June 1882, he was present at the wedding of his cousin Vercheres GREGOIRE in Port Severn, Ontario.He then apprarently returned to Quebec.

Shortly after their wedding, George and Malvina travelled to Ontariofor a time. In June 1884, they were in Midland to act as godparents toGeorge's cousin William ARBOUR. In 1887, a George ARBOURwas farming part of Concession 13, Lot 12,betweenWaubaushene and Port Severn. Perhapshe is our George, as there are not known to be any others in that areaat this time.

By the middle of 1887, the young couple had returned to Quebec and seem to have stayed there for quite a while this time. They became godparents to nephew Philibert RIVET in June 1887 at St-Emelie-de-l'Energie.By April 1891, George and Malvina were known to be living in Quebec during the Census. That year George was reportedly a farmer living in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie. After this, George and Malvina again became godparents: to his cousin's daughter Anna ARBOUR in September 1891 and to hiscousin's son Francois COUTU in January 1901, both in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie.

In April 1901, during the Census of that year, George and Malvina still lived in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie. They owned a four-room house plus three outbuildings on one-acre of the 2nd Range, JolietteCanton. Georgewas reported to be a journeyman whoearned $300 that year. George and Malvina are thought to have had no children of their own. No births have been connected to them. However, both in the 1891 Census and in the 1901 Census, they were recorded with niece Domitille TALBOT, the daughterof Malvina's sister Marie-Louise PARENT and her husband Narcisse TALBOT. They seem to have adopted the girl.

The story of the girl's parents is somewhat unclear. Marie-Louise and Narcisse appear to have married in about 1883. Their daughter Marie TALBOT was born on 16 October 1884 in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie and baptised there on 18 October 1884. Marie'sstillborn twin was also born there on the 16th; this baby was buried on 20 October 1884. One year later, on27 October 1885, Domitille TALBOT was bornalthough her baptismal record has not yet been located. Young Marie TALBOT must havenot been a healthy child as she died in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie just three years later on 19 December 1883 and was buried there on 23 December 1887. Perhaps it was shortly after this that Marie-Louise and/or Narcisse passed away - although they were not buried inSt-Emelie-de-l'Energie - and Domitille came under the care of her Uncle George and Aunt Malvina. The complete explanation for their situation may never be known.

In later years, George and Malvina again returned to the baptismal font at St-Emelie-de-l'Energie to hold more godchildren: George's cousinJeanne Domitille MORIN in May 1904 and George's cousin Georges Gerald LASALLE in August 1912. 

By the Census of 1901, Olivier seems to have passed away. His familystill lived in Oka and still operated the general store that he founded. They owned a 10-room house on 1/2 acre with 2 outbuildings. His widow and eldest three daughtersran thestore, which was located next door to the local Catholic Church, which in turn was next door to the local schoolhouse. 

From his cousin Bud O'REILLY via email on 25 Mar 2008: I assume his army training was in Saskatchewan where they would meet and fall in love. They moved to Port Robinson, about 5 miles north of Welland, Ontario, on the Welland Canal, justdown the road from his sister Mae Jalbert and across the road from his cousin Laura (Gouin) O'Reilly, my mother. Ihave a picture of him in his army uniform taken beside our house in Port Robinson. Theresa Arbour lived with Roy Ladouceur across the Canal lift bridge a few yards down the road. Alphage Arbour (Alf lived with wife Marjorie (Karr) across the road from Wilf. . . . We were always taught to address my mother's cousins as Uncle Wilf, Aunt Alice, Aunt Mae, and Uncle Wee (Mae's husband WilsonJalbert). The Arbours and their kinalways had interesting nick-names such as Wee, Pep, Nazz, etc. 

From Linda RHODE via Algoma Co Message Board on 07 Apr 2009: There are 2 Arbours in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. The Ontario Genealogical society has indexed this cemetery and they have Blanche MinnieArbour and Samuel Lloyd Arbour both listedwith stone reference number 1519. There areno dates or other info given.

He seems to have lived at a boys' school during the 1911 Census taken in June of that year. --> From Denis ARBOUR via email on 25 Nov 2009:I am quite sure it's the "Collège de L'Assomption." Back then, a "collège" was a high-school administeredances peull?e ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»by a religious order. The students were permanent residents and had to obey very strict rules and were on a very tight schedule. 

Helen Arbour was born on 16 August 1920, in St Louis, Michigan, as Helen Palko. She was born to two immigrants who both came here through Ellis Island from Czechoslovakia. Her father was Michael Palko, born in Prague, CZ, on 24 August 1885 (diedJanuary 1963), and her mother was Appolonia Pavoliç, born in Prague, CZ, on 11 January 1899 (died 12 January 1990). Her parents lived on their 40-acre farm until both of them passed away. Helen lived at the farm from the time she was12. Prior to th>Ser infose Gilbert),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»at, the family lived in a multitude of places. Helen had several siblings. When the war came, she became a "Rosie the Riveter". She worked at the Willow Run plant building the B-24J Liberator, a bomber, from 1941 until 1944. 

In 1871, Charles and Odile lived a few miles away from St Come in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie, along with many of his brothers. The family was still there in 1881, in 1891, and in 1901. In 1886, Charles received a Land Grant for property in Joliette County from the Canadian Government.The farmer and his wife eventually had 11 children, six daughters and five sons. The family of seven of them was listed in the 1891 Census inSt-Emelie-de-l'Energie, with son William living next door. In 1901, they owned a five-room house plus three outbuildings on 303 acres, next door to his brother Joseph ARBOUR and not too far away from their son William ARBOUR. Charles and Odile held quite the position of honor withintheir family, as evidenced by thefact that they were chosen to become godparents ten times. Their godchildren were nephew Alphonse ARBOUR in November 1868, nephew Charles HOULE in August 1870, niece Marie ARBOUR in July 1872, nephew Severe LASALLE in October 1873, niece Marie-Diana ARBOUR in May 1882, grandson Hermenegilde ARBOUR in July 1898, great-nephew Edouard BEAUDOIN in February 1906, granddaughter Rosianne ARBOUR in July 1908, grandson Hermenegilde ARBOUR in December 1908, and grandsonAvila ARBOUR in May 1909. Sadly,Charles was also witness to four funerals, including one for a godson: niece Exerine ARBOUR died in June 1884, greatnieces Anna and Rosianne ARBOUR died in February 1897, and grandson and godson Hermenegilde ARBOUR died in August 1898. 

In 1901, Charles still lived with his parents in Waubaushene. The teenager earned $154 that year at the mill. In January 1903, he witnessedhis brother Baptiste's wedding in Victoria Harbour. In October 1906, he witnessed his sister Delia's wedding, also in Victoria Harbour.

Charles and Lina had a son, Edward, who was born in Victoria Harbour. They also seem to have taken in a son of the family, who became knownas Uncle Fred. Later, the family moved to northern Ontario and settledin the North Bay area in 1929.

Charles lived at 363 Aberdeen Avenue at the time of his death in 1966. He died in a local hospital as the result of a heart attack following a lengthy illness. While he actually attended the Pro-Cathedral of the Assomption Church, he was buried in St Mary's Cemetery in North Bay. Lina predeceased him at some point. 

In about 1928, 15-year old "Etta" moved with her family from Victoria Harbour to Toronto, where she had the chance to grow up in the big city. As a young woman, Etta stood witness at the weddings of three of her brothers: Louis married inSeptember 1932, Lloyd married in November 1934, and Theo married in June 1941. Just seven months later, Etta married for herself. 

Joseph and Alphonsine had nine children, three daughters and six sons, three of whom died in infancy. They also became godparents to his cousin Regina HOULE, who was baptised in May 1880 at St-Emelie-de-l'Energie. While living in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie, Joseph toiled as a farmer. As his parents' only child, he became the caretaker of their property, as well as his own. In 1886, Joseph receiveda Land Grant from the Canadian Government for some property in Joliette County, but the details are unknown. One day while working, Joseph decided that there must be a more successful life elsewhere.So following in the many footsteps of ARBOURs before him, he travelled across the country and became a lumberer in Ontario. In the winter of 1898-1899, Joseph went to Northern Ontarioto work and found a lovely spot on Lake Nipissing. He then saved his money in order to bring his family and his parents there. So in the spring of 1899, the whole group arrived on the train in Verner, Ontario; they then continued on to Lavigne, Ontario. In 1901, the family was indeed found living in MacPherson Township, Ontario, which is where the community of Lavigne is located within Nipissing District. That year, Joseph and his three eldest surviving sons worked their farm. 

Narcisse was about nine-years old when he moved with his family fromQuebec to Ontario. After their wedding, Narcisse and Mary Jane settledin Waubaushene, where their first two children were born. They then moved to Victoria Harbour in about 1898. In 1901, the family owned a three-room house on ¼ acre of Concession 7, Lot W13, in Victoria Harbour. Narcisse earned $320 that year at the mill. The couple eventually shareda family of five children, two daughters and three sons,and were alsolève d0s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»godparents to five nieces and nephews: Norman ARBOUR in Midland in March 1897, Mary Ann RIVET in Midland in April 1897, Louis Herbert ARBOUR in Midland in February 1908, Emma ARBOUR in Waubaushene in July 1908,and Lloyd ARBOURin Midland in May1910. Between the Census of April 1901 and the birth of their daughterin December 1904, Narcisse became a butcher. It is believed that he ran the butcher shop which was located adjacted to the grocery store owned bythe BRODEUR family on Richard Street in Victoria Harbour, near St Mary's Church. Narcisse later took his son Isadore out of school at a young age so he could work in the shop, increasing production and affording his siblings the opportunity for aneducation. Mary Jane was just 44-years old when she died at their home in Victoria Harbour. Son Isadoreforever remembered his mother with only love and admiration. However, Narcisse was not always known to be such a faithful family man, although dear Mary Jane never knew this. Sometime after Mary Jane's death, Narcisse remarried to a woman named Philomene LORMAND, who was a sister toDelia, who married Narcisse's brother Thomas. She was also a sister toJohn, who married Narcisse's cousin Delia. Narcisse and Philomene thenhad a daughter of their own, who was born in 1925. 

Note: After their wedding, Seraphin and Elisabeth settled in Ste-Emelie-de-l'Energie, where they lived through 1913. By 1915, they had moved to St-Ignace-du-Lac, Quebec. In January 1941, they lived in Ste-Marcelline, Quebec. Seraphin and Elisabeth eventually had 13 children. They also became godparents to niece Raymonde-Lucille BEAUDOIN in January 1941 in Ste-Emelie-de-l'Energie. 

Note: Alfred was employed for over 25 years by McGibbons Lumber Company. In 1944, he went to work for the Copeland Flour Mill in Midland. Throughout his adult years, Alfred also served on the Penetanguishene Fire Brigade, eventually becoming itsDeputy Chief. 

Note: During his life, Edouard was known to work as an artisan and as a farmer. Edouard and Parmelia eventually had five children, but two of them died in infancy and one in childhood. They also served as godparents to nephew Edouard ARBOUR in February 1911 and to his cousin's sonEdouard ARBOUR in September 1914, both of whom were baptised at St-Emelie-de-l'Energie. In later years, Edouard was again called upon to holdtwo family youngsters at the St-Emelie-de-l'Energie baptismal font: granddaughter Alice AUMOND in January 1928 and grandson Gilles ARBOUR in March 1932. 

Note: From son Allan ARBOUR (via Linda CHARRON on 10 Oct 2005): Grandpa was a hockey player. He played hockey for Victoria Harbour, Midland, Westinghouse in Hamilton, and Toronto Stockyards. He came from a hockey family. His brother Armosplayed on the Montreal Canadians Stanley Cup winning team in 1916. He also had cousins that played professional hockey. While living in Hamilton, he was in aserious car accident, and suffered head injuries. He had to have a metal plate inserted in his head. That ended his hockey career. He was also a good ball player in his day. He used to enjoy going down to the ball field and watch the ball games. He married Theresa Bourrie on 28 December 1936, They had 4 children Mary Jane, Allan, Eva, and Lucille. Grandpa worked in the family Butcher Shop until it was sold. He was sick and had suffered a heart attackat a very early age. He went to work at a butcher shop in Waubaushene until he became very ill. Grandpa passed away 21 December 1967. It wasunfortunate that you weren't old enough to know Grandpa. He spoke French fluently and would often sing little french songs. He also liked playing cards. He was a teaser and such a likeable person, he wasloved by everyone. He is sadly missed and fondly remembered. 

Note: Isadore's father was a butcher in Victoria Harbour. At a very young age, Isadore was taken out of school to work in the shop, which allowed his brothers and sister the chance for an education, but denied him that same fate 

Note: Joseph and Alphonsine had nine children, three daughters and six sons, three of whom died in infancy. They also became godparents to his cousin Regina HOULE, who was baptised in May 1880 at St-Emelie-de-l'Energie. While living in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie, Joseph toiled as a farmer. As his parents' only child, he became the caretaker of their property, as well as his own. In 1886, Joseph received a Land Grant from the Canadian Government for some property in Joliette County, but the details are unknown. One day while working, Joseph decided that there mustbe a more successful life elsewhere. So following in the many footsteps of ARBOURs before him, he travelled across the country and became a lumberer in Ontario. In the winter of 1898-1899, Joseph went to NorthernOntario to work and found a lovely spot on Lake Nipissing. He then saved his money in order to bring his family and his parents there. So in the spring of 1899, the whole group arrived on the train in Verner, Ontario;they then continued on to Lavigne, Ontario. In 1901, the family was indeed found living in MacPherson Township, Ontario, which is where the community of Lavigne is located within Nipissing District. That year, Joseph and his three eldest surviving sons worked their farm. 

Note: On 01 Oct 1940, Pamela was recorded at a "border crossing" in Erie, PA. She was recorded as a Seaman aboard the SS Midland Prince andwas only in Erie for shore leave. Seems a little strangefor her to be a seaman. Perhaps she was just on apleasure cruise and did not truly work aboard the ship. She was also noted to be 5'8" tall with a dark complexion, brown hair, and brown eyes. --> Appears that Pamela and Ted didindeed sail for vacation, as he was listed with the same remarks. Wasiswhat is commonly known today as a working vacation? (ha, ha) 

Note: On 19 Mar 1929, Gilbert travelled to the US via the port of Niagara Falls, NY. He claimed he was going to become a permanent residentin the US but had not thought further than Niagara Falls. He was notedas being 5'7" with a mediumcomplexion, brown hair, and brown eyes. He listed his occupation as that of seaman. 

Note: Orval suffered a small setback at age three when he had polio,which left him somewhat handicapped with a partially lame arm and a lame foot. However, he overcame these handicaps and worked for 21 years at the Beck Lumber Company inPenetanguishene, until they closed down. Hethen went to live with his parents on their farm and worked there until his retirement. 

Note: The farmer and his wife had eight children, six daughters and two sons, all seemingly born in L'Assomption County. Louis and Elizabeth were found in L'Assomption Parish in 1871 and in 1881. In 1881, they were recorded with their spinster daughter, Cesarine, and a boarder, Francois BROUILLET. Also recorded with them were Joseph ARBOUR, age 13, and Edouard ARBOUR, age 10. Perhaps these children were their grandchildren. Elizabeth was already 68-years old and would have been too old tohave borne them herself. Perhaps they were adopted. It is unknown when or where Louis and Elizabeth died; however, the couple has not been located in the 1891 Census so perhaps they had passed away by then. 

On 16 June 1891, 13-year old Baptiste, along with brother Peter, wasconfirmed into the Catholic Church by Reverend John McABLE, Archbishopof Toronto, while at St Margaret's in Midland. He then witnessed his brother Joseph's wedding in VictoriaHarbour in May 1898. In April 1901, Baptiste still lived with his parents in Waubaushene. He earned $210 that year at the mill. In May 1902, he becamegodfather to his niece Myrtle BOURDON in Midland. Baptiste and Dellie did not have any children oftheir own. However, they did serve as godparents to nephew Herbert ARBOUR in July 1905 and to niece Irene ARBOUR in January 1910, both in Midland. They also became sort of surrogate parents to their five young nieces and nephews, children of Baptiste's closest brother Peter. Peter's wife died when the eldest of the children was 11-years old and their Auntie Dellie took them under her wing. Furthermore, Baptiste and Dellie also appear to have taken in a family youngster by the name of Gloria.Itis unclear how she fits into the family tree. Perhaps she was the result of a teenage indiscretion within the family. Auntie Dellie seems to have been a family favorite. In addition to being a terrific baker, shewas also very artistic and crafty. Dellie won first prize at the Toronto Exhibition in about 1926 for a dollhouse she built and decorated herself. The little house was then proudly displayed in her parlor, complete with the big first-prize ribbon. It is unknown when or where Dellie died. However, she seems to have passed away before Baptiste moved in with his niece Hilda LeNESTOUR, with whom he lived during his later years in Hamilton, Ontario. 

On 16 June 1891, 14-year old Peter, along with his brother Baptiste,was confirmed into the Catholic Church by Reverend John McABLE, Archbishop of Toronto, while at St Margaret's in Midland. Peterand Philomene's lives are a tragic love story. Initially, Peter's younger brother Baptiste made a play for Philomene, but when Peter saw her, he as much as told his brother to move over, that she wasthe one for him. There were no hard feelings as Peter and Baptiste were the best of friends. Philomene was apparently quite the charmer. She loved to laugh and was full of life. Peter, a rough carpenter and general laborer, and Philomene hadfive children. In 1901, the young couple and their first daughter lived with Philomene's parents and eightof her siblings in a five-room house in Tay Township - the quintessential crowded house! Peter earned $330 that year at the mill. Shortly thereafter, they seem to have moved into their own house in Victoria Harbour, where their four other childrenwere born. Philomene then contracted a kidney ailment known as Bright's Disease or nephritis. She died at the age of 32, leaving her husband with five children, ages 2 to 11. Hilda, the oldest of them at age 11, helped to raise the family. AlthoughPhilomene was reportedly buried inSt Mary's Cemetery in Victoria Harbour, the cemetery transcriptions for St Mary's make no mention of her. Further, theburial register at St Margaret's in Midland says that she died on 25 May 1910 in Victoria Harbourand was buried in St Margaret's Cemetery. However, the cemetery transcriptions for St Margaret's alsomake no mention of Philomene. The Archives of Ontario does confirm her death in Victoria Harbour on 25 May 1910. In fact, the mystery of Philomene's final resting-place has persisted for many years. Bert, son of Peter and Philomene, is remembered by his widow Jessie as searching for his mother's gravesite for all of hisadult life, to noavail. Apparently, it was such a sad and painful subjectfor Peter that he never spoke of it to his children, who were all so young at the time of their mother's death. In the winter following her death, Peter did not work near their home inVictoria Harbour.Instead,he walked from there across the ice towork on the building of the grain elevators. He left on Monday mornings and came home on Friday nights. In between, anything the children needed was put on a "chit" at the company store and paid for when Peter returned. After Philomene's death,thechildren were taken under the wing of their Auntie Dellie, wife oftheir Uncle Baptiste. She gave the two boys, Lawrence and Herbie, odd jobs to do, like stacking wood, and in turn gave the family freshly-baked pies. A cleaning lady came in once a weekto do the heavy work. The family remained faithful and loyal to each other all their lives, each helping the other. The girls Hilda and Leda eventually found work in Toronto and were later followed by their brother Lawrence. At the age of 13, son Herbie, along with his little sister Delima, were moved to Hamilton, Ontario, by their father and into a boarding house. Peter then worked in construction down in Niagara Falls, again returning only on weekends. Peter was once asked about thehouse in Victoria Harbour, from which he had simply walked away. He said that when Philomene died, the house had no meaning. Peter did get to see his children grow and begin families of their own. In his later years, he lived with his eldest daughterHildaand her family in Hamilton. When Peter died, he was buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, located in nearby Burlington, Ontario, in anunmarked grave, according to his wishes. 

On 2 Jan 1927, the day after their wedding, Helen traveled by train and emigrated to the US via Detroit, MI. On 27 Jun 1946, she applied for her Resident Alien's Border Crossing Identification Card. Apparently she had not been back to Ontario innearly 20 years? On this later occasion, Helen was noted to be 5' 0" with a fair complexion, grey hair, andblue eyes, weighing 102 pounds. 

On 9 June 1887, 12-year old Joseph, along with several of his cousins, was confirmed into the Catholic Church by Reverend John Joseph LYNCH, Archbishop of Toronto, while in Waubaushene. He then witnessed the marriage of his brother Xavierin September 1892 in LaFontaine. In April 1893, he became godfather to nephew Omer BOURDON in Midland. As young adults but before their own marriage, Joseph and Vitaline FOURNIER stood witness at his younger brother Peter's wedding in August1897 at St Margaret's in Midland. After their wedding, Joseph and Vitaline settled in Waubaushene, where their first four children were born. In April 1901, the family lived in a house on his father's property, just outside Waubaushene. Theyhad their first two daughters by the time the census takercame around and their third daughter was born just a few days later. Joseph earned $384 that year at the mill. In 1903, they moved to Victoria Harbour, where they appear to have remained for the rest of their lives. Joseph and Vitaline eventually had 10 children in all, seven daughters and three sons. Throughout his life, Joseph worked as a farmer, sawyer, and general laborer. 

Perhaps it is this Emile who sailed aboard the "Anadarko Victory" from Trinidad, Cuba, to New York, NY, departing on 20 Jun 1947 and arriving on 04 Oct 1947. He worked on the ship as a Messman andwas noted to be 5'8" and 170 lbs. However,anotherdocument states that Emile came aboard in Montreal on 22 Jun 1947, and that the ship sailed from Los Angeles, CA, to New York, NY, arriving on 04 Oct 1947. Which is correct? 

Upon entering the US at Detroit, MI, on 11 Jul 1921, Maud and son Ronald stated they had come from Sault Sainte Marie, ON, and were headed to Waukesha, WI, to meet Stanley. Maud was noted to be 5'4" tall with afair complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. Ronald was noted to have amedium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. Maud carried $50 with her. 

When she was almost 20-years old, Fleurette and her family moved to Owen Sound for her father's job. Fleurette and Henry had both grown up in Victoria Harbour so they had known one other for a long time before they started to date each other. Shortly after Henry began courting Fleurette, they were married. Henry and Fleurette raised their five children in Victoria Harbour. Henry was an officerwith the Canadian Pacific Steamship Line until his retirement. Captain Henry ARBOUR was quite a popular gentleman and known well among family and friends.
