Can you find the details of Father Alex J. A. Archambault died in Montreal January 2, 1911? He was a missionary priest to the Diocese of Boise, State of Idaho from 1869 to 1880 when he returned to Canada because of poor health. During the summer of 1874 he was in Canada because his mother was in poor health. The only additional information I have is, he did have a niece who was a sister of Mother Oliver the fourth of the Mother Generals of the Holy Name Sisters. Thank You for any additional information.
