Notes - * Medical Information:She suffered from placenta previa during pregnancy, which caused severe bleeding and during which medical science could not help her in 1908.
* Note:In the ARBOUR-DAME household, only French was spoken. This remained true until after Lucy's death. When Edward married Margaret, she didn't know French and demanded that everyone speak English. During theirshort life together, Lucy and Edward were devoted to each other. Upon her premature death, Edward was completely devastated.

No record of Lucy's death can be found. However, there seems to be little question among the family that she died while living in Hoosick Falls. One explanation for this may be that the family was known for being very poor. Perhaps they could not afford a tombstone and that she was not "important" enough for an obituary. However, a death certificate should still have been issued regardless of hercircumstances. --> No longer true! A death certificate was uncovered in early 2005 by descendant Kathleen (DAME) FIERRO.
According to the age at time of death recorded on Lucy's death certificate, she would have been born 02 June 1876, not 22 June.She had 4 children
