Biography

This profile is part of the Labossiere Name Study.
Amedee Labossiere was born Sept. 1, 1853 [1] in St. Ours, Quebec, a lovely village in the Richelieu River Valley, that dates to at least 1672.His parents were Jean-Baptiste Gedeon Labossiere, and Marie Adelaide Potvin. He was baptized at one day old, very common then for fear of infant mortality. His godparents were Pierre and Josepthe LaBossiere, his aunt and uncle. Pierre was his father's older brother. Josepthe's maiden name was already Labossiere, as she and Pierre were third cousins. TAmee ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»he priest was Fr. Jean-Baptiste Belanger. Amedee was the third child of 11 in a family of nine boys and only two girls. It appears that at least ten of the eleven children survived to adult hood and of these nine left Quebec withmost settling in St. Leon or Somerset, Manitoba and one in Vancouver, B.C. There would have been some excitement in the household shortly after Amedee's 6th. Birthday as the family welcomed a set of twin brothers for him. Much later, in 1893, one of these twins, Cali TAmee ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»xte, was likely the god father for Amedee's last child, young Amedee Calixte, born after his father had been dead for four months. The youngest sibling, Olivier died young at only about 8 ½ years old.

Amedee is found at home in the 1861 [2]Canada census living with his parents and six other siblings. He is at line 17 and is eight years old.

The family moved to Manchaug near Sutton, MA and are there for the 1870census, next door to Gedeon's younger brother, Olivier and his family.1870 US Census MA, Worcester, Sutton, Manchaug, Page 56 Lines 10-22: John Labosea, (Jean Baptiste Gedeon Labossiere ),52: wife, Delia, (Adelaide Potvin), 42: 11 children: Edward, 20; Celiena, (Victorine), 18; Ammida, (Amede), 17; Peter, (Pierre), 15; Freman, (Clement), 14; TWINS: Adolph, 11; Calis, (Calixte), 11; Leas, (Leasse), 9; Alfred, 6; Oliver, 4;George, 1. Census date: July 1, 1870. [3]

Jean Baptiste Gedeon Labossiere and his family are back at St-Ours in the 1871 [4]Canada census. They have eight children at home at that time: Edouard, 17; Delaide, (Victoria?), 16; Pierre, 12; Clement, 8; Jean Baptiste, 14; Anna (Leasse?), 7; Adolphe, 5; Calix, 5. The children's names are wrong by as much as five years each in this census and at leasttwo younger children, Olivier and Georges are not listed. It cannot becertain that this is Amedee in this census.

All of the family history books agree that the family probably left Quebec some time between 1875 and 1879. This is deduced from the marriagesof some of the children. The eldest daughter, Victorine married Adelard Charbonneau in 1875 in St. Ours. and Amedee married Marie-Anne Chretien on October 13, 1879 at Sutton, Massachusetts, U.S.A. The next child,Pierre, married Sophie Lalime on January 01, 1881 at Manchaug, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Now the chronicles of the arrival of the first four Labossiere pioneer families at St. Leon, Manitoba, state Amedee's parents, Jean-Baptiste Gedeon Labossiere and his wife, Adelaide, nee Potvin, arrived in the area from Manchawa, (Manchaug, near Sutton), Massachusetts,U.S.A. in 1880 and homesteaded onTAmee ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»the northeast of 6-5-9. A copy of the land title from Library and Archives Canada is dated Oct. 4, 1883. It would have not have been granted until the land was worked for several years, so 1880 certainly seems correct.

To date, no records have been found of the family in the U.S. 1880 census. That census was taken in June 1880, so it is likely the family had already left for Canada and they were likely still in Quebec during theU.S. 1870 census. Amedee and his wife, Marie-Anne must have left Massachusetts for Canada about the same time as his father and mother, as the St. Leon history book records Amedee as owning one of the local hotels in 1880.

An old photo that came from one of Amedee's grandsons, Denis Labossiere, shows a house in Somerset, Manitoba. The photo was taken in 1955 and Oscar, who was a brother to Amedee, had written the following on it: “This House wasbuilt by my father in Amee ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»1880 in West Lynn, Man [itoba] and moved to St. Leon, Ma [nitoba] in1881 - moved again to Somerset, Man. In 1888 - re-modelled in 1907. Asit looks in 1955 Oscar E. Labossiere, son.” Oscar also seems to have added, “This applies to the old Somerse ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»t Hotel which was moved on the same dates, now in 1955 on the same site re-modeled in brick. O.E.L Mar. 1st. 1955 Somerset, Man.” There doesnot seem to be a West Lynn, Manitoba. There is a West Lynn Lake in Manitoba, but it is in the far north of omerse ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»the province, so this seems unlikely. It is not known for sure what the area was.

The St. Leon history book records that Amedee and Marie-Anne Labossierearrived in 1880 from East Douglas, Massachusetts, with Amedee's parents. They took up residence in the village of St. Leon on section 35-4-9,where Amedee was a wheelwright. Thomerse ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»e St. Leon history book lists Amedee as a “Charron” which was a wheel wright during the period of 1881 - 1885. It is interesting to note that Amedee Calixte, his youngest son went on to be a wagon driver andsteam train operator in a supply unit fose ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»r 3 ½ years in World War I in Belgium and France. Amedee's brotherClement was a “Fogeron” or blacksmith at this time, so presumably the two brothers worked together. Amedeeand Clement are listed as co-owningsection NO 35-4-9 and then in 1884, Amee ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»dee also had section No. 34-4-9. Year later, a son of Amedee Calixte became a steam engineer, making it three generations in a similartrade.
Amedee and Marie are recorded in the 1881[5] Canada census which was taken on April 4, 1881. This is the first time they are officially found in Canada. They are living with Amedee's parents, Gedeon and Adelaide, now aged 63 and 60, whom the enumer, Amee ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»ator listed as Jedeon and Dalagede while Amedee was listed as Meddie, likely a nick name and Marie was simply, Mary. It is interesting that at one point in his life, Amedee's youngest son also went by Middie.Although he never met his father, some , Amee ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»things seem to attach them. It was no doubt, a crowded household as there were no less than 10 people, mostly adults, living together in the one home. Besides the parents, Amedee and Mary, it appears that most of the other younger, still single children, were also there. These are Adolphe, Collice (Callixte), Cleman (Clement), Fred (Alfred), George (Georges) and Louise (Marie Lease). The names and ages are closeenough to the correct ones, that these certainly must be the other children, thus confirming that nine of the ten surviving children did originally come to St. Leon, with only Clement eventually moving on to Vancouver. The rest appear to have livedout their lives at St. Leon or nearby, Somerset.

The 1891 Canada Census taken on April 22, 1891 lists the family with five children. The last child, a son, Amedee, gave his father's profession as a general contractor when he married Emily Anscomb in 1919, but itmust be remembered that Amedee Jr.,Amee ne Mm Fi?rt),bres18 Rivitab» «tab»never knew his father, as Amedee Sr. died January 06, 1893 at St. Leon, Manitoba, exactly four months before Amedee Jr. was born. He is supposed to be buried in the St. Leon cemetery, but the grave is likelyunmarked. Another strange coincidence isthat Ernest Amedee Labossiere (1921-1993), a grandson of Amedee Labossiere (1853-1893) through his youngest son, Amedee Calixte Labossiere (1893-1955), was born on January 6,1921, exactly 28 years after hisgrandfather had died.

Amedee and Marie-Anne had seven children, five boys and two girls, however only five survived to adulthood. Their first child, a son, Arthur Louis lived only about 13 months. Their fifth child and second girl, Josephine Ida lived for just oversevenyears, dying the day after her seventh birthday.

Callixte Amedee Labossiere was born May 6, 1893 at St. Leon, Manitoba to Amedee Labossiere, and Marie Anne Chretien. His forenames appear to be Callixte Amedee from his baptism certificate, but by the time he signed up for WWI, he was using Amedee Calixte thus reversing his forenames.

His father, also, Amedee, was killed in an accident about four months before Amedee was born, so he entered life with only one parent. He attended school and grew up in St. Leon and Somerset, but moved to Winnipegby about 1911.

She died at their home in Penticton, B.C. on April 28, 1981 and was buried there at Lakeview Cemetery on May 1, 1981.

Amedee was too old to serve in active duty in WWII, so he was posted toAldershot, near London, England. He divorced Martha by mail during thewar and married his third wife, Gladys Winifred Amelia Turner on July 4, 1944 in London. Amedee and Gladys had two children, both sons, Laurence and James. Laurence, the first was born in London during an air raid, before the end of the war.
