Notes:
According to his WWI Draft Registration, Francois was of medium height and medium build with blue eyes and brown hair. At the time, he was a widow with a small child.
From Ann Irene STILKEY, wife of Raymond J. ARBOUR: Ray is very proud ofhis Franco-American background and the history regarding Franco American immigrants in Augusta. The area in which they lived was called "SandHill." The cotton mill thatemployed them was at the bottom of Sand Hill and their church, St Augustine, was at the top. The generation of Francois and his children were very much discriminated at that time due totheir ethnic background and it was my husband's generation that brokethecycle. My in-laws left the "Hill" when Ray was 3-years old and movedto the "English" part of thecity, which was really frowned upon. Around the time Ray was getting ready to start school in the non-French speaking part of the city, my in-lawsdecided they needed to teach him to speak English ashe only spoke French at that time. He has memories of other children in the neighborhood teasing him because he only spoke French. He still is quite fluent in French, buthis first language is nowEnglish. His younger brother, however, can understand French quite well buthas difficulty conversing. I also remember Olivine. She refused to speak English and only spoke French, except when it was just she and I,because I do not speak French.
On 30 Nov 1915, Francois and Augustine travelled to the US via the portof Newport, VT, and were headed for Augusta, ME, to their house at 22 Mill Brook. Francois was 5'9" tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue? eyes. Augustine was 5'3"tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue? eyes. They carried $68 with them.

Bio from Facebook 25 Feb 2010:
25 Feb 1893 -- Francois-Xavier-Gilbert ARBOUR was born in Joliette, QC,as the 4th of 12 children of Charles-Barthelemi ARBOUR [who was profiled on 14 Feb] and Marie-Celina BOISVERT. At approximatelyage 14, Francois emigrated to the US from Canada but then returned sometime later. Around age 20, Francois trekked across Canada to arrive in Alberta. On 25Nov 1913, in Morinville, AB, Francois married 16-year old Augustine DUPUIS. They had one son who died just after birth in Alberta before theiremigration to the US in about 1915. On 30 Nov 1915, Francois and Augustine traveled to the US via the port of Newport, Vermont, and headed for Augusta, Maine, to their house at 22 Mill Brook. Francois was 5'9" tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. Augustine was 5'3" tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. They carried $68 with them. Just 3 months later, Augustine gave birth to their son Jean-Marie ARBOUR in Feb 1917. In Jun 1917, Francois registered fortheWWI Draft, when he was noted to be of medium height and medium build with blue eyes and brown hair. At the time, he was a widow with a small child, as Augustine had suffered an untimely death after little Jean'sbirth. On 25 Jun 1917, Francoismarried for a second time to Olivine M. PARE, who then bore 8 children over the next 10 years. Throughout hislife, Francois worked as a fixer, a pulp maker in a paper factory, a cotton mill worker, and as an employee of the Edwards Manufacturing Company. He then seems to have become sick by 1933, when he had no job. In 1935, 42-year old Francois passedaway in Augusta, ME, before ever having met any of his 18 grandchildren. Olivine lived another 38years beforepassing away in 1973. One of these grandchildren is Raymond J. ARBOUR.Ray's wife Ann Irene STILKEY explains a little bit about their way of life in Maine: Ray is very proud of his Franco-American background and the history regarding Franco-American immigrants in Augusta. The area in which they lived was called "Sand Hill." The cotton mill that employed them was at the bottom of Sand Hill and their church, St Augustine, was at the top. The generation of Francois andhis children werevery muchdiscriminated against due to their ethnic background and it was Ray's generation that broke the cycle. Ray's parents left the "Hill" when Raywas 3-years old and moved to the "English" partof the city, which was really frowned upon. Around the time Ray was getting ready to start schoolin the non-French speaking part of the city, his parents decided they needed to teach him to speak English as he only spoke French. Ray has memories of other children inthe neighborhood teasing him because he only spoke French. Although quite fluentin French, his first language is now English. Ray's younger brother, however, can understand French quite well but has difficulty conversing. Olivine also refused to speak English and spoke only French.Francois a épousé Augustine DUPUIS le 25 nov 1913 à Morinville,,,Alberta,Canada,Sturgeon County.
