Perhaps Alexandrine and Honore knew each other as children, as his father Olivier seems to have played a role in the ARBOUR family with his attendance at baptisms and burials.
Alexandrine and Honore may have initially settled in St-Emelie-de-l'Energie, but by April 1891, they were found living in Joliette City. The young family was still there in 1901 and seem to have stayed through 1905. In 1901, they owned a seven-roomhouse plus two storehouses and threebarns or outbuildings on 128 acres of the 1st Range, Joliette Canton. Honore reported his occupation in both 1891and in 1901 as "voitureur," or carriage driver, even though they obviously farmed some land. He wasalso reported in their children's baptismal records to be a mechanic and a carpenter.
During these years, however, the couple did return to St-Emelie-de-l'Energie to have each of their children baptised. Alexandrine and Honore eventually had 14 children, six daughters and eight sons, all but the last one of whom were born in Joliette County. They also became godparents to two family youngsters: Alexandrine's sister Regina ARBOUR in September 1887 and nephew Alfred COUTU in March 1890, both baptised at St-Emelie-de-l'Energie.
At this point, something compelled this family to move far from their roots. Perhaps they were following Honore's brother Joseph BLAIS and hiswife Prescilla GERVAIS, who left Canada for the United States of America sometime after 1897. In any event, in 1906, Alexandrine and Honore decided to migrate to the US and settled in the State of Massachusetts. They found a home in the Aldenville-Chicopeearea and became members of the St-Rose-de-Lima parish. In 1920, they lived at 778 Grattan Street in Chicopee. Although they had been in the US almost 14 years, apparently the parents could not yet speak English. Honore was finally reported as being a farmer and virtually all of their children worked outside the home. Their married daughter Dalvine and her husband also lived with them.

She had 14 children
