KILLS SELF WITH RAZOR
William Arbour Thwarted in Attempt to Kill Wife, Commits Suicide -- Daughter's Screams Save Mother -- Divorce Action Had Been Begun
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. The court had issued a restraining order against the husband, forbidding him to visit the home of his wife or the children. He is said to have been angered by the court's orders and tohave madeseveral threats against his wife. There are six children in the family: Mrs. Ethel Lippman, Beatrice, Violet, aged 13, Wilfred, aged 9, Bernie, aged 7, and Gorman, aged 4.

The funeral services will be held Monday morning at 9 o'clock from the St JamesCatholic Church, with interment in Calvary Cemetery.

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.
