Emma was baptised at St Ann's with the name Aimee-Anne-Jane DUPUIS,but was always known as Emma. Emma's second husband, James GARRITY, owned a livery stable in Waubaushene, but the family later moved to Toronto. During the Depression, times were hard so the family was forced to move in with Emma's sister Marie. Marie and her family lived in South Porcupine, which was a mining community in the northern part of Ontario.It seems as though the mines were less impacted by the Depression thanother industries. 

02 Mar 1911 -- Marie-Germaine-Rachelle-Yvette-Lilianne ARBOUR may well win the prize for the longest name. Not many come close. Born in Verner, ON, Lilianne was 1 of 4 children of farmer Joseph-Alexis ARBOUR and his wife Marie-Louise-Virginie-Angelina CHAMPAGNE. She married later in life when she wed Cyrias StGEORGES on 24 May 1954 in Lavigne, ON. They had no children together. Lilianne was 81-years old when she passed away on 01 Dec 1992 in Sturgeon Falls, ON. It is unknown when or whereCyrias died 

08 May 1908 -- Born in Lavigne, Ontario, Joseph-Wallace-"Albert" ARBOUR was the 2nd of 17 children of farmer Joseph-Oscar ARBOUR and his wife Albina BEAUDRY. As a young man, Oscar had moved with his family fromSte-Emelie, Quebec to northern Ontario. It was in the community of Lavigne, that all of Oscar and Albina's children were born and where theirlegacy continues through today. Albert found his own wife in Lavigne and married her there on 15 June 1943. Laurianna GIGUERE was also heartyand from strong pioneering stock. She and Albert brought 7 children into this world: Claude, Emilien,Gerard, Marthe, Jean-Marc, Denise, and Therese. In about 1946, the young family moved from Lavigne to Sturgeon Falls, Ontario,where Albert died on 17 June 1996, at the age of 88. He was buried in the Our Lady of the Visitation Catholic Cemetery in Lavigne. Laurianna then moved back to Lavigne, where she still lived in February 2003. Albert and Laurianna were both able to welcome all 15 of their grandchildren, but Albert passed away before meeting their 8 great-grandchildren.He had 7 Living Arbour 

11 Mar 1864 -- Born in Montreal, QC, Joseph-"Alexandre"-Olivier ARBOUR was one of 13 children born to Louis ARBOUR and Elise BEAUDRY. As a lad, Alexandre appears to have had a small dalliance withMarie-Azilda BEAUTRON-MAJOR and then choseto do the honorable thing. The young couplewas married in Montreal on 19 Apr 1880, when Alexandre was just 16-years old. Their daughter Marie-Azilda ARBOURwas born a scant 5 months later. Little Azilda died less than 2-years later and her mother followedher to the grave in 1884. The laborer and journeyman then began a new life when he wed Marguerite LENOIR-ROLLAND in Montreal on 03 Jan 1889. Twelve children were born to them over the next 20 years, eventually bringing them 17 grandchildren. Alexandre never met any of them, however, as he passed away in Montreal on 09 Sep 1911, at just 47 years of age. Marguerite was a grandmother 9 times over before meeting her demise on 30 Jun 1930. Both were buried in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Catholic Cemeteryin Montreal.

12 April 1881 -- Born in Ste-Emelie-de-l'Energie, QC, Joseph-Alexis ARBOUR was the 2nd of 9 children of farmer Marie-Joseph ARBOUR and Alphonsine DUCHARME. While Alexis was just a teenager, his father Joseph decided to leave what must have been fast-becoming the crowded confines of Ste-Emelie. In the spring of 1899, the whole family arrived on the train in Verner, ON; they then continued on toLavigne, ON. In 1901, the family was found living in MacPherson Township, ON, which is where the community of Lavigne is located within Nipissing District. That year, Joseph and the 3 eldest surviving sons, including Alexis, worked their farm. In Verner on 10 August 1908, Alexis married an older woman when he wed 37-year oldMarie-Louise-Virginie-Angelina CHAMPAGNE. They then had 4 children together, 3 daughters and one son who was born when Evelina was almost 43-years old. Evelina was 79-years old when she died in Lavigne on 02 April 1949. Alexis was 76-years old when he died in Lavigneon09 March 1958. Both of them were buried in Our Lady of the Visitation Catholic Cemetery in Lavigne. Only one grandchild is known for them. 

17 April 1852 -- Born in Joliette City, QC, Ours-Joseph ARBOUR was the 3rd of 12 children of farmer Sulpice-Edouard ARBOUR and his wife Esther TRUDEAU. Somewhat atypical for our ARBOURs, Ours appears to have remained in one place his entire life, as he has been located in JolietteCity from beginning to end. As a young man, Ours worked as a baker (1881) but later returned to his farming roots and became a farmer (1901).In St-Liguori, QC, on 15 May 1883, our 31-year old Ours married 17-yearold Marie-Zephirina GRENIER. Together Ours and Zephirina had 9 children, 3 of whom died in childhood. During the 1901 Census, Ours and family lived in Breau Moulin -- possibly the name of their farm -- which wasin St-Charles-de-Borromèe parish C'est ave?e acusaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»in Joliette City. They owned a 3-room house plus 5 outbuildings on 162 acres. How they ever fit 9 people in a 3-room house is probably beyond the comprehension of most of us today. Ours died shortly after thison21 February 1902, just shy of his 50th birthday. Widowed Zephirina married Narcisse DUVAL on 12 April 1909. She was further alive during the Census of 1911, but nothing is known of her beyond this. 

22 March 1908 - Born in Mont-Laurier, QC, Joseph-Pierre-"Florent" ARBOUR was the 2nd of 11 children born to farmer Adelard ARBOUR and Catherine FENNING. Florent married 22-year old Odile-"Fernande" BEAUREGARD on 09 May 1936 in St-Jean-sur-Lac, QC. Between 1937 and about 1960, theyhad 14 children, 7 daughters and 7 sons, all born in Labelle County, QC. Florent was just shy of his 76th birthdaywhen he died in Mont-Laurier on 06 February 1984. Fernande had just reached her 76thbirthday whenshe died there on 22 June 1990. Help is desperately needed to complete this branch of our tree. 

25 April 1907 -- Born in Waubaushene, Ontario, Marie-"Velma"-VatrinaARBOUR was the youngest of 6 daughters of lumber mill worker Napoleon ARBOUR and his wife Marie-Emma DUPUIS. Her parents likelywould have hadmore children, but Napoleondied whenVelma was just one-year old. After her father's death, Emma married James GARRITY. During the Depression, this blended family moved to mining country in northern Ontario. It was here that Velma married in Timmins, ON, on 16 February1934, to JamesFELL. Velma and James had 4 children, 3 daughters and one son. James passed away sometime before 1996. Velma died between March 2000 and January 2003. It is unknown how many grandchildren they may have. 

25 May 1910 -- Born in Waubaushene, Ontario, Mary-May ARBOUR was the11th of 13 children of farmer, millhand, and general laborer Alfred-Joseph ARBOUR and his wife Mary THERRIEN. One month before her 18th birthday, May married 22-year oldJoseph Charles BOLYEA in Port Severn, ON, on 16 April 1928. Joe worked as a farmer and a mason in the local area. All of May and Joe's children were born in nearby North River, ON, but only 2 daughters and a son grew to adulthood: Yvonne, Burt, and Velma.May was 62 when she passed away in Toronto, ON, on 12 October 1973. Joe was 78 when he died in Coldwater, ON, on 04 October 1984. They were both buried in the City Cemetery in Coldwater, a town in which they had lived for many years. May and Joe canclaim 11 grandchildren and at least25 great-grandchildren. 

: At some point prior to 1891, Domithilde's natural parents -- Narcisse TALBOT and Marie-Louise PARENT -- must have died. She then came into the care of her Uncle George and Aunt Malvina. They became her parents and she lived with them the rest of her years. Like her mother and sister before her, Domithilde died young; she was just 17-years old when she passed away.

After failing in an attempt late lastnight to murder his wife, William Arbour, aged 48, went out to a woodshed in the rear of the house, 214 North Fifty-Second Avenue West, and slashed his throat with a razor. Hisbody was found shortly afterward bySergeant Andree and PatrolmanRoot,who had been sent for by the daughter, whose screams saved her mother's life. Arbour came home about 9 o'clock in the evening and told his daughter Beatrice, aged 16, that "somebody was going to be killed about thehouse," and if he could find her mother he would kill her. The girl was frightened and ran to a neighbor's residence. It was about an hour later that the daughter came back to the house and was attracted by screams of her mother from the kitchen.Rushing to theback to the house, the daughter found her father clutching her mother's throat and waving arazor over her head. The daughter's screams seemed to frighten her father, or at least divert his attention, and he ran out of the house. Thepolicewerethen called and they began searching the neighborhood for Mr. Arbour. They found him about a half hour later, dead, on the floor ofthe woodshed. The body was ordered removed to Filliatraut's undertaking rooms. Divorce proceedings were begunsome time ago by Mrs. Julia Arbour against her husband.

Bio from Facebook on 07 May 2010:
07 May 1863 -- Born in Perce, Quebec, William ARBOUR was the 4th of 10 children of farmer, fisher, and longshoreman John ARBOUR and his wife Mary McCARTHY. William'sstory istragedy personified. He emigrated to theUS with his family somewhere between 1881 and 1893, and settled initially in Wisconsin and then in Duluth, Minnesota, by 1900, possibly as early as 1895. On 29 November 1895, he married 19-year old Julia M. LUCE.Over the next 17 years, the young couple had 11 children, only7 of whomseem to have made it out of childhood: Ethel, Beatrice, Violet, Wilfred, Bernard, Edward, and Jean. Like his father before him, William alsoworkedas a fisherand then a longshoreman. It was not until shortly after his 53rd birthday (not his 48th) that tragedy struck on 52nd Avenue in Duluth during the evening of 26 May 1916. The newspaper account of the time tells quite a tale and leads oneto believe that there were someserious issues at play within the dynamic of this family.

Quite a disturbing story, by any means. Julia was not yet 40, but she attempted to keep her family together and to provide for them.Within a few years of William's death, Julia had married Moses Baker BAILES. While they had no children together, Julia did live a long time and saw thebirths of 9 grandchildren. Moses died in Duluth on 25 August 1948, at about age 81.Juliadiedin Duluth on 19 June 1961, just shy of her 85th birthday. William and Julia's grandchildren have been responsible for bringing 12 more ARBOURs into this world.

From Colleen HARVEY via email <charvey2 a live.com> on 09Jun 2012: Julia Mary Luce, born 12 Jul 1878, was baptized at St Mark's under the name of "Louis" on 21 Jul 1878. . . Julia moved to Duluth at the age of 13 and first lived with her sister Adele. Soon thereafter she moved to a boarding house formen on Gosnold near 51st Avenue West and worked as a domestic. At the age of 17, Julia married 28-year old William Arbour in a Presbyterian Church in Superior, Wisconsin. The date was 29 Nov1895, and witnesses were Mrs. W. L. Tait and Matilda Lathey. William Arbour was born in May 1866 in Quebec. His mother was Mary McCarthy, born in Ireland. He and his father John, his brother John, and his cousin Dan all appear in the Duluth directory for the first timein 1895, livingon 52nd Avenue West in a hotel/boarding house. All were French-Canadian. William was a longshoreman -- loading and unloading ships -- employed summers only. The second husband of Julia's sister Adele, John Girard, was living there, too, at the time. This area of Duluth, known as theWest End, is where all of our relatives lived beginning in the 1880s. In the 1980s, the area was very difficult to get around in because of the freeway system and cut off streets. Betweenthe ages of 17 and35,Julia had 12 children. She has been described by her descendants as being very independent, having in herited a mean temper, and she would throw things around the house when she was angry. The family always lived in arented place and, according to one of their daughters; these places were shacks with no lights, no running water, and no plumbing. William would beat Julia whenever he got drunk. At the time of the 1900 Census, they had been married 4 1/2years; theyhad a 4-yearold,a 2-year old, and one child who had already died. In the 1910 Census, Julia reported thatshe had 9 children, of whom only 5 were living. That Census showed William's 55-year old unemployed brother John and58-year old unemployed cousinDan also living with the family. William was unable to read or write, as were many other French-Canadian immigrants. Julia filed for legalseparation in St Louis County on 11 Mar 1916, charging that her husband was an alcoholic and physically and mentally abusive. The following week an Order of Protection was served on William and he was put under court order not to see her or the children. He had been in the workhousethe previous Nov for abusive behavior and assault. Being angered by therestraining order, William came to his family'shouse very intoxicatedduring the evening of 26 May 1916, got in a fight with Julia, and attemped to kill her by slashing her throat. According to the Duluth HeraldandJulia's daughter Jean, Williamhad Julia on the floor, was sitting on her stomach, and was holding herr head by her long, black hair. He was just about to slash her throat with a razor blade when her 15-year old daughter Beatrice and herboyfriend came to Julia's rescue and the boyfriend got the razor blade away from William. William left the house ina huff and the police were called to begin searching for him. He was found ashort time later in his woodshed, having taken his lifeby slashing his own throat with the razor. According to Jean, Bea's boyfriend hadput the razor on the table, but William grabbed it again before he went out. William was buried from St James Catholic Church in Duluth with interment inCalvary Cemetery there.Julia had amental breakdown following that, the older children were farmed out, and the two youngest, ages 5 and 2, were placed in St James Orphanage, which was connect with the church. They had been surviving only because Julia washed clothes formen in the boarding house, plus the children sold eggs from their chickens. Julia was sick for months, but eventually recovered enough to get a job in a hotel laundry working 7 days a week, 10 hours a day for aweekly salary of $13. She was then able to get heryoung children back home. One22 Feb 1918, at the age of 39, Julia married Moses B. Bailes, who worked at the Iron Works in West Duluth. This was also a civil ceremony,witness being Julia's14-year old daughter Violet Arbour and Ernest Bailes. Julia and Moses, also called Charles, were married for 30 years. During this time we have been told that Julia did what she wanted while Moses stayed home. She occasionally visited her sisters andmother. Sheand Moses lived on 51st Avenue West in 1920and 61st Avenue West in 1930.Moses, born in Ohio, died 25 Aug 1948, at age 81, and was buried from an Episcopal Church with interment in Oneota Cemetery. Julia died 19 Jun 1961, of renal (kidney) diseasein a Duluth hospital. Services were from GoodShepard Catholic Church, with burial in Oneota Cemetery in Duluth.

According to her immigration papers, Ethel reported herself as having been born in Clark's Hill, which is located in Lennox & Addington Co, ON.

LAMIRANDE
Though the stone reads "Lamirandre," it actually is incorrect and should be Lamirande. While this tombstone cannot be read as it is very worn and faint, we were fortunate to obtain a correction (and an older photograph showing the stone intact) from a family member, Mr. Ed Lamirande,a great-grandson, who provided the following information on this tombstone: "I was never able to find out why the family surname was spelled incorrectly. Felix Arbour died on 3 Feb 1886, according to his Holyoke certificate of death, not March "Mars 1887." Felixwas Theodore Lamirande's father-in-law. Theodore's wife, Malvina Arbour (Picard from a previous marriage) is also buried there. Theodore died on 8 Jan 1908 and Malvina died on 19 Feb 1939. The remaining names are some of the children of Theodore and Malvina." Specialthanks to Mr. Lamirande for providing this information!
[http://www.rootsweb.com/~mahampde/cem/shadley/pb/bk/bk-557.html]

According to at least one source, Felix was born about 1805 in Marieville, StCesaire, QC, which we know now tobe incorrect.

According to the index for Felix's Death Registration, he died on 03 Mar 1886.
