Notes - Edmund was about six-years old when he moved with his family from Quebec to Ontario. In 1901, Edmund lived with his widowed father and his twoyounger brothers in Waubaushene. He earned $350 that year at the mill.After their wedding, Edmundand Clemence settled into Victoria Harbour,where they had nine children. They also became godparents to nephew Lawrence ARBOUR in Midland in February 1907 and to grandson Allen ARBOUR in Toronto in July 1935. Edmund was a farmer and also worked as a lumberman in the bush during the winters when the ground was frozen. Mostly,he worked in the area of the Blind River on the northern shore of the Georgian Bay, just west of Manitoulin Island. One year, Edmund was recruited to work on the upper peninsula of the State of Michigan after a very bad forest fire. Many loggers from Ontario went to cut down as manyof the burnt trees as they could so as to foster new growth. The men called it the Wanapitei Slash. Edmund's truecalling, however, lay in hiswoodworking. Although he had no formal education and could not read - not even a ruler - Edmund created many beautiful artifacts. While living in Victoria Harbour, he made Clemence a table lamp from a block of maple, carved only with a penknife.The lamp was perfectly square and straight and the decorative sphere it held was perfectly round, as confirmed by his sons who measured it with calipers. A more well-known tribute to Edmund's carpentry abilities is the Martyrs' Shrine in Midland. The family says that he helped to build the steeple on the Shrine in 1926. Edmund and Clemence moved their family from Victoria Harbour to Torontoprior to 1930, probably in about 1928. In the big city, Edmund worked for a sheet metal company, wherehe hand-made sections of duct work thatwere very intricate, requiring painstaking effort on their detail. Theonly thing Edmund ever learned to write was his name because this company made him sign for his paycheck. Clemence was the one who taughthim to write his name. The family lived at 66 River Street in a semi-detached house until they moved to 122 Ferrier Avenue in the early 1950s. Just after retiring, while still living on Ferrier Avenue, Edmund was retained by a neighbor lady to makea desk for her. When she began to give him measurements, he stopped her and asked to go and see where she wouldplace it and tell him what shape she wanted. Whenhe finished it, he took his youngest son Bernard to the woman's house. The desk fitintothe spot she wanted with ¼ inch to spare. What a testament to his artistry!
