* Note:There is some mystery surrounding the life of Moses. On 26 Jun 1887, he married "Pluba" POST in Pownal, VT. The 1900 Census shows his wife as being named "Rheba," who was born May 1860 in QC. It also shows a daughter Addie born in Oct1890 (nothing more is ever found of this girl) and a son Fred born in May 1894. Well, Fred's death record shows him born on 09 Nov 1893. Which is correct? Furthermore, the 1920 and the 1930 Census returns show Moses as being married to "Mary," who was bornin QC in about 1872. The 1920 Census also shows several more children for Moses: Harry (b ca 1901 VT), Henry (b ca 1903 VT), and Budgisol (b ca 1908 MA) (nothing more is ever found of this girl either). In VT vital records, there is a birth recordfor a male child (no doubt our Harry) born in Stamford, VT, on 31 Mar 1901 to Moses ARBOUR and "Libbie," who was born in Plattsburg, NY. However, a check of Pownal, VT, records shows a death record for Harry Joseph ARBOURborn in Stamford, VT (ok here), to Moses ARBOUR and "Philomene ALLARD." Who is she? In addition, VT vital records show the birth of Henry Albert ARBOUR on 4 Feb 1903 to Moses ARBOUR and "Thebie" POST (or PORT, handwriting is poor). Accordingto the same source, this Thebie was born about 1866 in Burlington, VT.Is Pluba, Rheba, Libbie, and Theba all the same woman? How does one explain Rheba (b 1860 QC), Libbie (b NY), and Theba (b 1866 VT)? Also, how does Mary fit in here? Is Philomene ALLARD someone whom Moses marriedlater in life?
--> Note added on 16 Sep 2011: How is it that dau Irene's mother was listed as Phoebe ALLARD in 1898, when Moses did not marry Ms. ALLARD until 1904? It is all very confusing.
--> At the time of Moses death, no wife was mentioned in his obituary. Interesting.

H. W. Allsop has sent one team and Moses Arbour sent two teams to Bennington, VT, to work on bridges being built to replace those which were swept away by the big washout last fall.

North Adams Transcript (MA) -- Wednesday 14 Dec 1898
Moses Arbour and Harry Allsop, who went to Bennington last week with teams to draw stone for a large wall that is being built in consequence of the big washout last fall, returned the day after they went, the conditions being found quite different from what they expected. They say they were given a box stall for a bedroom and that their teams were placed in a very dangerous position at the quarry, large stones being swung by derricks directly over the horses. One horse on the job was ruined by a 4200-pound rock hitting him and there have been several narrow escapes.

Notes:

* Name:Bernadette M. ARBOUR
* Sex:F
* ALIA:Budgisol ARBOUR or Berdmath /ARBOUR/
* Birth:ABT 1908 in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, USA
* Residence:North Adams, MA, in 1910, in 1920 (7 Hooker St), and in 1928 (16 Hooker St)
* Occupation:Telephone Operator (1928)
* Note:Budgisol is definitely an unusual name. Although the Census was clearly written, could this be a mistake? Perhaps her real name is Bridget. In 1930, there was a 21-year old Bridget F. HOWARD, married to a John C. HOWARD and living in Boston,MA, at 14 Horace Street. This Bridget was born in MA but her parents were born in Canada. Bridget and John married 2 years before. He was 43-years oldand had been apparently married before, as there were 9 children, ages 22 down to 7.Could this beour Budgisol? There are no Budgisols listed and this is the only Bridget in MA who seems to remotelyfit into our family.[1930Census]

It turns out that her name might not be Bridget after all. She was alsoknown as Lizzie so perhaps her name was Elizabeth or some variation.

Ok, here we go again, another name for this person. In 1928, she was recorded as Bernadette, which does explain a lot of the B-name varieties.

According to the 1910 Census, Bernadette was born about 1905.
