Notes 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.
