Nom ARBOUR Joseph William Edward Naissance 18 oct 1869 Joliette, Lanaudière, Quebec, Canada 
Genre Masculin Décès 1948 [Essex County] - Windsor, Essex County, Ontario, Canada Inhumation 1948 [Essex County] - Windsor, Essex County, Ontario, Canada Notes - After their wedding, the bright young couple of William and Pamela settled in Waubaushene, but a year later tragedy came to their home. Dear Pamela never regained her health after the birth of their daughter MariaAva in early 1892. Pamela died on 24 June 1892 and was buried in St John's Cemetery in Waubaushene. Their baby girl followed shortly thereafter.
When William married second wife Zephyrine, they returned home to Waubaushene, where they had a son, Norman. Then came young Zephyrine's turn to depart this world. She died on 24 June 1899 and was buried in St Margaret's Cemetery in Midland.Our courageous William - weakened in heart but not in spirit - decided to take refuge with his parents for a time to collect himself.
Although uncommon grief seemed to beset William's marriages, he eventually decided to try once again. William married a third time to a woman named Florence Theresa GUERTIN in 1903. Florence was married earlier toa Mr. LeGARRY and had a son, Leo LeGARRY, whom she brought to live in William's house. Leo later served with the Merchant Marines.
At some point before November 1917, William and Florence moved their blended family to Espanola, Ontario, on the north side of the Georgian Bay, in the Sudbury District. Here, William continued to work as a lumberjack. William and Florence eventually had six children together, three daughters and three sons.
A family story tells that William was once involved in a fight in a lumber camp. A man stole his gold watch. Later in a bar, William saw the man place the watch on the table as his bet in a card game. The story says that during the ensuing fight, William killed a man, perhaps even the thief himself.
William's suspected death date of 1948 has been difficult to confirm. He supposedly lived in Windsor, ON, at the time but there seems to be noobituary in the Windsor paper. It has also been difficult to ascertainhis death record from the ProvinceofOntario.
Another note of interest: William is the grandfather to the famous hockey player and coach, Al ARBOUR, of the New York Islanders.
