Notes - From his grandson Gary MOORE via email on 08 Mar 2010: Donald was the last of that Arbour generation and just died last year. You can still see the Arbour home in Victoria Harbour Ontario on Google Earth Street view. The address is 397 William St. It is brownish with a blue metal roof. St Mary's church is 266 Albert St. I spent many a happy summer in the Harbour.
From his granddaughter Barb HENRY BRIDGMAN via email on 15 Mar 2010: Regarding Oscar, "in 1941, he made his living working to restore the Old Forte-Ste Marie on the Huron. It is situated across the road from Martyrs Shrine, along the Wye River, 4 miles from Victoria Harbour & 4 milesfrom Midland. While they were excavating the ruins, they unearthed many 300-year old relics, as archaeologists worked out a plan to restore Forte-Ste Marie. It stands today & attracts many tourists.From there Oscar worked in Port McNicoll at the Grain Elevator. There the ships came in to load up with grain & deliver it elsewhere."

Bio from Facebook on 11 Jun 2010:
11 June 1888 -- Born in Waubaushene, Ontario, Joseph-Oscar ARBOUR was the 13th of 14 children of farmer and mill worker Magloire ARBOUR and Leocadie CHARTIER-ROBERT, who are my own great-great-grandparents. At theage of 20, Oscar found his life partner and decided to settle down. On02 August 1908, Oscar married 19-year old Marie-Victoria BOYER in Victoria Harbour, ON, where they also made theirhome. In fact, the home still stands today. According to one of their grandsons, "you can still seethe Arbour home in Victoria Harbour, Ontario, on Google Earth Street view. The address is 397 William St. It is brownish with a blue metal roof." Oscar and Victoria proceeded to welcome 12 children into this home over a 22-year span, 5 daughtersand7 sons. As a young man, Oscar toiled as a laborerof various kinds, making his mark later in life. According to one of his granddaughters, in 1941, Oscar "made his living working to restore the Old Forte-Ste Marie on the Huron. It is situated acrossthe road from Martyrs Shrine, along the Wye River, 4 miles from Victoria Harbour and 4 miles from Midland. While they were excavating the ruins, they unearthed many 300-year old relics, as archaeologists worked out a plan to restore Forte-Ste Marie. It stands today and attracts many tourists. From there Oscar worked in Port McNicoll at the Grain Elevator, where the ships came in to load up with grain and deliver it elsewhere." Victoria was 74-years old when she passed away in Victoria Harbour on 15 September 1963. Oscar was 82-years old when he passed away in 1970. Both were buried in St Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Victoria Harbour. Today, Oscar and Victoria are accountable for 44 grandchildren and 72 great-grandchildren.
