As a young man, Edmond gave adventure a try when he moved from Quebec to northern Ontario, settling in Temiskaming District. Here, he married 18-year old Marie-Anne CLOUTIER on 20 November 1927. Together they had 13 children, 5 daughters and 8 sons. At some point in their lives, Edmond and Anna owned a restaurant in Matachewan, ON, also located in Temiskaming District. Although they still lived in Ontario in 1968, when Anna passed away, records claim that Edmond died in Montreal, QC, on 30 March 1986. Edmond and Anna are responsible for 18 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, although there are probably more. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
