He had brown eyes and grey hair. ___ Bio from Facebook on 16 April 2010: 16 April 1876 -- Born in St-Raphael, QC, Leon ARBOUR was the 2nd of 12 children of farmer and later mill employee Jean-Michel ARBOUR and his wife Josephine LESSARD. These 12 children are the reason Michel and Josephinewere able to apply for a special land grant from the Government ofQuebec, which extended such a privilege to families simply because they had 12 children. However, it is not clear that Michel and Josephine ever received their land, as they decidedto emigrate to the US in about 1898, initially settling in the Willimantic, Connecticut, area. Just a few years after their arrival, Leon married 18-year old Sophronie BERTRAND in Willimantic on 21 June 1901. Between 1902and 1916, Leon and Sophronie had 10 children born in Connecticut, Quebec, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, indicating how much they moved around. Throughout his life, Leon supported his family in various ways: Cotton Weaver (1900),Carpenter at a Mill (1910), Machinist withanAuto Repair Company (1918), Repairman with an Auto Shop (1920). According to his WWI Draft Registration, Leon was of medium height and medium build, withbrown eyes and grey hair. Leon was just 49 when he died in Holyoke, Massachusetts, on 09 July1925. Sophronie then enlisted a partner to assist her in raising her children. On 15 October 1927 in Holyoke, Sophronie married 47-year old Jeremie GIROUX.
