Notes:

Hilda was only 11-years old when her mother died. The young woman then became care-giver for her family. She even wrote and sent pictures faithfully to their maternal grandparents in the west. Shortly after their wedding, Hilda and Louis moved to Hamilton, Ontario, where they had five children, four daughters and one son. As they were establishing theirfamily, Hilda's elderly father moved in with them. In later years, Hilda's Uncle Baptiste also moved in with them to share his final days. Auntie Hilda was known for her more-the-merrier attitude. A visitor couldnot simply stop in; they had to stay for a meal. Hilda always made everyone feel welcome and considered no visitor a mere guest, as all were family. At their home in Hamilton,Hilda and Louis were neighbors of James and Eliza NAYLOR. James and Eliza had two daughters, Emily and Jessie. Hilda, Eliza, and Emily were all very good friends. Younger sister Jessie also became a close friend of one of the ARBOURs, Hilda's brotherBert. Jessie later became his wife.

Bio from Facebook on 30 April 2010:
30 April 1901 -- Born in Victoria Harbour, Ontario, Florence Leda ARBOUR was the 2nd of 5 children of mill worker Pierre ARBOUR and his wife Philomene StAMAND. Leda was just 9 when her mother passed away. She thenassisted her older sister Hilda incaring for their younger siblings while their father worked. Leda was about 19 when she married Ernest Percy CONNERS in Toronto. Leda and Ernie then welcomed 9 children into their home, 4 daughters and 5 sons. Throughout the years from late 1923 toearly 1943, this growing family struggled financially. Ernie worked as aTruck Driver (Nov 1928, Sep 1929, Sep 1931), a Fruit Peddler (Sep 1932), "On Relief" (Sep 1935), and Shipbuilder (Jan 1943). Commensurately, the family moved around quite a bit,living in at least 21 places during these 19 years. True tragedy struck this family on 15 July 1939. On that day, 9-year old Allan was playing around on the roof of his 2-storyschool before plunging 30 feet to his death. Although Ernie was alreadyan alcoholic before this incident, he no doubt stepped up his drinking to drive away the pain, which of course only contributed to the family's continued misery. Leda died in 1975. It is unclear when or where Ernie passed away. Although 4 grandchildren and one great-grandchild are known for this couple, they likely have more.

Marriage:
To Ernest Percy Conners

Notes:

During his teenage years, Lawrence went to the big city of Toronto to secure work and build himself a life. Lawrence later moved to Hamilton, Ontario, and seems to have stayed there the rest of his life.

On 7 Feb 1924, Lawrence is believed to have traveled to the US, crossing at Port Huron, MI. He claimed that he was coming from the home of hisfather Peter ARBOUR, 483 John St N, Hamilton, ON, to hisfriend Arthur CHALUT, 402 Stand St, Flint,MI. Lawrence was a carpenter's apprentice who carried $50 in his pocket. He was noted to be in good health, 5' 11"with a medium complexion, brown hair, andbrown eyes. He was never in the US before this time but it is difficult to read how long he plannedtostay. One interesting note is that he was recorded as being single, even though his marriage date shows he had already wed Clarabelle in Jan1923.

Joseph a épousé Clarabelle Marie ROUSSEL le 17 jan 1923 à Hamilton,,,Ontario,Canada,Wentworth County. Clarabelle est née en 1898 à Algoma County,,,Ontario,,Sault Sainte Marie; est morte le 18 mars 1996 à Hamilton,,,Ontario,Canada,Wentworth County. [Feuille familiale] [Tableau familial]

Notes:

As Herbie was only five when his mother died, his formative years became the responsibility of his 10- and 12-year old sisters. As they were just children themselves and trying to go to school while maintaining a household, it was no wonder that little Herbie sometimes got away with a more than he should. The mischievous imp often walked along the Hogg's Bay Trestle, jumping in rain barrels to avoid oncoming trains. He regularly stole the eggs from the chicken coup, egging others on as he showed them how to drill holes in the shell and suck out the raw egg. He often told the story of jumping out of the window in the lunchroom at school to avoid being vaccinated. He also got slivers in his feet from the boardwalks because he did not like wearing his shoes. Herbie even tried to avoid the priest, who constantly reminded him that he missed him at mass and that he had not been to confession.
Herbie also had fond memories of the year he and his best friend and cousin Phil LARMAND both received sleds for Christmas. The wonderful times they had sliding down the large snow-covered hills nearhis home! These are what shined in the life of the little boy who had to work to helpsupport his family. He and his brother Lawrence would stack wood for his favorite aunt and godmother, Aunt Deli. And the blueberry pies she baked in payment for a job well-done made it all worthwhile.
At age 13, Herbie and his younger sister Adeline were moved to a boarding house in Hamilton, as their father had secured work in the Niagara Falls area. Shortly after moving there, Herbie crossed thepicket line atMacDonald's Printing to apply for ajob and was retained as a printer's apprentice. It was during this juncture that he changed his name to the more adult-sounding Bert.
One day in 1926, while visiting his older sister Hilda, Bert met a young English Protestant woman who would change his life forever. Jessie NAYLOR was the daughter of a friend of Hilda's. Bert married Jessie just a few months later. Bert andJessie had two daughters, whom they raised in their mother's Anglican faith.
While living in Hamilton, Bert was often visited by his best friend Phil LARMAND. Phil was working on the boats and would stop in to visit whenever they were docked in Hamilton.
Every year, Bert returned to Victoria Harbour to search the local cemeteries to find the grave of his mother Philomene. Her burial site has never been located and this weighed very heavily on Bert.

Herbie ARBOUR and Phil LARMAND were the best of friends growing up. They constantly dared and challenged each other. One of their past-times was racing along the wooden boardwalk barefoot in the Harbour, then pulling the slivers out of each other'sfeet. Another involved the rolling of a metal wheel, propelled by a stick to see who could make it go the fastest. Likely their parents would have been horrified if they knew where some of their adventures took them. In the summer they walked acrossthe train trestle that spanned Hogg's Bay. This was extremely dangerous as they had to jump in rain barrels along side the track whenever a train came. The two were also known to be truant from school, especiallyif the nurse was there to vaccinate. Their parents must have known they were "two peas in a pod" as one year for Christmas they both got the same present, a sleigh to ride down the hills near Victoria Harbour.
At the age of 13 or 14, Bert and his sister Adeline were moved to a boarding house in Hamilton, but returned to the Village for visits. As soon as Bert had said his polite hellos he was off and running down the street to find Phil.
In the early part of their marriage, Bert and Jessie had a home on Bay Street, near the Hamilton Harbour. They often walked down to the docks to see if Phil's ship had come in. If so, they would invite him back totheir house where the two would talk till all hours of the night starting off in English and ending up in French. Jessie left the two at the kitchen table and went to bed, but she said you could hear the two laughing at each other's stories till the wee hours. Jessie referred to Phil as being a wonderful man and Bert's best buddy. She was never aware the two were first cousins. She also remembered on one occasion, Phil invited them aboard his ship for a tour and dinner. Like many friendships, contact dwindled to yearly visits, until they completely lost touch. Jessie never even met Phil's wife Alma.

Notes:

From niece Linda (DUMOND) CHARRON: I recall Auntie Adeline at Grandpa'sfuneral. She was a tiny little lady who had just been released from the hospital. She suffered from seizures and was possibly adiabetic. The seizures were thought to have been caused by a kidney ailment (perhaps she inherited problems from her mother). My grandmother Jessie used to say that it upset Grandpa that she was always pregnant, as the doctors had warned her that having children was extremely hard onher health.
