• Notes

  Medical Information: Although he remarried after the death of first wife, he was never the same man. He began to drink heavily and this may have been a factor in his death. Note: According to his WWI Draft Registration, Louis was born on 25 Mar 1885. At the time he was noted to be tall with a medium build; he had brown eyes and black hair. During the Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918, Louis also contracted the illness. However, luck was with him and he survived, only to meet a tragic death a few years later. Living in Louis and Eugenie's house in 1921 was Joseph ARBOUR. It is unclear how he is related. Joseph was an employee of the WH Company.

The injured man was found lying unconscious on the side of the road by a Hartford motorist who notified the police department.

Louis held several occupations during his life: Farmer (1901); Carpenter and Press Room Foreman with the William L. Gilbert Clock Company (1918-1921); and later owned a Trucking Companyuntil he was put out of business by E. J. Kelly. InSt-Raphael on 09 June 1908, Louis married 19-year old Virginie BOUTIN. The young couple then made a southerly trek which brought them to Connecticut, where they settled into the community of Winsted. During the year after their wedding, Louis and Louise welcomed their only child, a daughter named Bertha Alma ARBOUR, into their home. According to his WWI Draft Registration, Louis was noted to be tall with a medium build, brown eyes, and blackhair. During the Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918, poor Virginie succumbed to the illness. After her death, her body was transported back toQuebec for burial in St-Raphael.
