Notes:

Joseph was about seven-years old when he moved with his family from Quebec to Ontario. On 16 June 1891, 14-year old Joseph, along with brotherEdmund, was confirmed into the Catholic Church by Reverend John McABLE, Archbishop of Toronto, while at StMargaret's in Midland. After theirwedding, Joseph and Mary settled in Waubaushene, where they went on toraise nine children, three daughters and six sons. They also served asgodparents to niece Regina RIVET, who was baptised in Midland in May 1901.In 1901, the family lived with their first three children in a four-room house on Concession 10, Lot 10, in Waubaushene. Joseph earned $335 that year at the mill. He seemingly worked at the mill for many years. At some point, the four oldest sonsofJoseph and Mary migrated to the United States of America via the State of Michigan. It is unclear exactly when this occurred. Did they all go together or did one follow another? What is known is that after the lumber mills began closing in the 1920s and 1930s, work became scarce. The United States appeared to bethe promised land of opportunity for many from rural Ontario.

WORKER FALLS FOUR STOREYS TO DEATH IN MILL ACCIDENT
Midland, 13 June -- Hurtling four storeys to the basement of the Copeland Flour Mill, when a conveyor on which he was riding from one floor toanother, broke, Mr. Joseph Arbour, aged 56 years, of 2732nd Street, received injuries which terminated inhis death a few hours later. The fatal accident occurred about 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon. Mr. Arbour, who had been in the employ of the Copeland Mill for a number of years, was riding from a lower floor to one above on what is known as a "FraserConveryor," so named from its inventor. It consistes of an endless belt onto which platforms are stationed at intervals. The conveyor travelsvertically from the basement to the upper floor, and the platforms areso arranged that the workmen maystep onto one and travel either to an upper floor or a lower floor with the converyor.
Belt Snapped -- For some unknown reason, the conveyor belt snapped in two as Mr. Arbour was travelling on it, allowing him to hurtle from the third floor to the basement. Fellow workmen rushed to hisassistance. Dr. T J. Johnston was called and an ambulance summoned to bear the unfortunate man to the hospital. His injuries were extensive and included a fracture of the pelvis, four fractured ribs,a hemorrhage of the brain, and a hemorrhage of the abdomen.
Remained Conscious -- In spite of his serious condition, he was conscious when admitted to the hospital and was able to answer the questions of the nurses as his injuries were being attended. He rapidly lost strength, however, in spite of all that surgical and nursing skill could do.He died at 7:30 pm, four and a half hours after being admitted to the hospital.

His death record actually reports his birth date as 31 Dec 1876.

From Kathy Wedyke of Sanilac County Genealogy Library via email on 02 May 2008: I did find Velma and she is buried in Watertown Township, at the Greenwood cemetery in section B125AL1 G2. Now I will give this information to my volunteer and like I said before she is very behind and I cannot tell you when she will get this done but she will do it. She will look for a death record and an obit, if there is one. Well, at least we now know where she is buried. Thanks, Kathy Wedyke, Deckerville Public Library

From Kathy Wedyke via email on Saturday 17 Jan 2009: Velma V. Arbour/ 60 yrs/b 15 Dec 1927/died in Sanilac Medical Care/birthplace Michigan/unmarried/never employed/residence 137 N. Elk St., Sandusky/ father Anthony Arbour/mother not available/informant J McCoy of Minden City/ died of Myocardia infection

--> Note added 01 Feb 2009: I think that Velma must have suffered from some disability. In 1930, she was not living with her parents but in a home with other children. However, this supposition does not completelyexplain all the questions about herfamily or her life.

According to the 1940 Census, Velma never went to school.
