Notes - According to both the 1901 Census and his Death Registration, Jean-Octave was born on 10 Jun 1856. John was not listed on the Voter Registration Rolls in Chicago in 1888-1892. This could have been because he neverattained US Citizenship. Itcould also be because he had moved away. --> John did indeed move away. He married in QC in 1885, so apparently heleft Chicago sometime before this.

Bio from Facebook on 09 Jun 2010:
09 June 1854 -- Born in Montreal, Quebec, Jean-Roch-Octave ARBOUR was the 4th of 9 children of tailor Theodore ARBOUR and his wife Rachel TISON. As a young man, John followed his elder brother Peter to the United States. He was found living on Bloomendale Street in Chicago, Illinois,with Peter's family in 1880. Following in their father's footsteps, both brothers worked as tailors. Both brothersalso seem to have heavily favored the HARBOUR spelling of their last name. While Peter remained inthe US and later died there, John appears to have returned to Quebec. Perhaps he was disillusioned at Chicago's prospects for a nice bride ofFrench Canadian origins. John finally settled down in 1885, when he married in Montreal to 16-year old AnnaCHARBONNEAU on 18 May. John and Anna had 3 children, one daughter and 2 sons, although only son Raoul would give them any descendants. Between 2 marriages, Raoul had 2 children and no known grandchildren. John was just 52-years old when he diedinMontreal on 05 April 1907. Anna lived more than 50 more years but never seems to have remarried. She died in Montreal on 11 November 1959, atthe age of 92. Both of them were buried in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Catholic Cemetery in Montreal.
