Notes:
Emelie was only about 18-years old when she married Joseph JEAN. Her father Magloire ARBOUR and John F. LYNETT himself witnessed. Why was Emelie's father present but not her mother? Perhaps her mother was a littleupset with Emelie because she was already pregnant. Leocadie seems to have changed her mind, though, by the time her first grandchild was born, as she became her godmother.
Emelie and Joseph had 14 children, seven daughters and seven sons. In 1890, Joseph owned a farm in Waubaushene on Concession 11, Lot 10. The family was still found in Waubaushene in April 1891, but definitely leftthe area before April 1901.Furthermore, in 1895, their daughter was born in Verner, which is located in northern Ontario, in Nipissing District. It seems as if the family moved there at some point between 1891 and 1895. By 1901, the family was found living in CaldwellTownship in Nipissing District.
After being widowed, Emelie seems to have returned to her family in Simcoe County, where she married for a second time to Charles LaBATT. Charles' origins are unknown.
Emelie was just a tiny little lady and seemingly quite a character. Shesmoked a pipe but was courteous enough to hide it when the priest cameto visit. Emelie died after September 1951, as that is when she attended the anniversary party of her brother Alphonse in Waubaushene.
