Notes:

On 16 June 1891, 13-year old Baptiste, along with brother Peter, wasconfirmed into the Catholic Church by Reverend John McABLE, Archbishopof Toronto, while at St Margaret's in Midland. He then witnessed his brother Joseph's wedding in VictoriaHarbour in May 1898. In April 1901, Baptiste still lived with his parents in Waubaushene. He earned $210 that year at the mill. In May 1902, he becamegodfather to his niece Myrtle BOURDON in Midland. Baptiste and Dellie did not have any children oftheir own. However, they did serve as godparents to nephew Herbert ARBOUR in July 1905 and to niece Irene ARBOUR in January 1910, both in Midland. They also became sort of surrogate parents to their five young nieces and nephews, children of Baptiste's closest brother Peter. Peter's wife died when the eldest of the children was 11-years old and their Auntie Dellie took them under her wing. Furthermore, Baptiste and Dellie also appear to have taken in a family youngster by the name of Gloria.Itis unclear how she fits into the family tree. Perhaps she was the result of a teenage indiscretion within the family. Auntie Dellie seems to have been a family favorite. In addition to being a terrific baker, shewas also very artistic and crafty. Dellie won first prize at the Toronto Exhibition in about 1926 for a dollhouse she built and decorated herself. The little house was then proudly displayed in her parlor, complete with the big first-prize ribbon. It is unknown when or where Dellie died. However, she seems to have passed away before Baptiste moved in with his niece Hilda LeNESTOUR, with whom he lived during his later years in Hamilton, Ontario.
