Bio from Facebook 11 Feb 2010:
11 Feb 1886 -- Joseph Isidore ARBOUR was born in New Hartford, Connecticut, as the second son of Francois-Xavier ARBOUR and Mary E. STRIDE. Francois-Xavier had emigrated from St Raphael, QC, just 5 years earlier in order to take advantage of the many opportunities afforded by Canada's neighbor to the south. Joseph married Mary E. O'MEARA on 17 Mar 1909 in Springfield, Massachusetts, and they proceeded to have 3 sons over the next 6 years: Walter, Donald, and Robert. According to his WWI DraftRegistration, Joseph was tall with a medium build, brown eyes, and black hair. This man who worked as agrocer, a clerk, and a bartender seemsto have died young, as there is no trace of him after 1918 or 1919.

 

Joseph a épousé Mary Elizabeth O'MEARA le 17 mars 1909 à Springfield,,Hampden County,Massachusetts,United States,. Mary est née le 13 mai 1888 à Pittsfield,,Berkshire County,Massachusetts,Usa,; est morte le 2 avr 1977 à Plainville,,Hartford County,Connecticut,United States,.

Notes:

 

From her high school yearbook in 1930, . . .

Known as Lee in high school, Leona's senior entry reads as follows: Leona Doris Arbour "Who is it can read a woman?" Born27 Jul 1912, New Britain; New Britain High School, Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 2, 3; Science Club 1; Girl Reserves 1, 2; Dramatic Club 2, 3; Commercial Club 3; Tennis 4; Dress Committee. "Lee" certainly keeps 'em guessing, n'est cepas?

This tongue-in-cheek senior Class Presentation was made to Leona: We give you this package of dates from New Britain in case you haven't enough.

From the Class Poem, Leona's stanza reads as follows:
Miss Arbour maypossibly be
A hairdresser great some fine day.
The gentlemen all you will see
Asking permanent waves sans delay.

Lastly, her senior Class Prophecy reads: Leona Arbour -- We find Leona a wealthy widow living in New York. Sheis now enjoying life with a handsome gigolo from France. It must be nice to be rich, huh, Lee?
