Bio from Facebook 18 Mar 2010:
18 Mar 1906 -- Born in Plaquemine, Louisiana, Warren Benedict ARBOUR was precisely in the middle of 13 children born to John Earl ARBOUR and Annette Blanche BERGERON, proving that even ARBOURs who live in the US can be prolific. On 22 Jul 1905, Warren married 20-year old Mattie Mary SHARON. Warren and Mattie had 3 children, 2 daughters and a son. In 1930, the young family lived in Plaquemine, where they rented a house for $6 per month. Warren worked as a laborer in a lumber mill, as so many of the ARBOURs have done. In 1935, Warren and Mattie moved across the country and settled in Vancouver,Washington, where Warren owned and operated Arbour's Grocery in downtown until the late 1950s. On 06 Jan 1988, Warren died in Portland, Oregon, and was buried in St James Acres in Vancouver. Mattie followed him there when she died on 02 Dec 1997. Today they are responsible for at least 9 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.
