You can find it at the Northern NY Library Newspaper site, St. Lawrence Co. Put her name as "Nora Leclair". It lists survivors as a brother Peter Dennecourt of Potsdam, sisters Emma Gardner of Watertown and Mrs. Merton Williams of Ogdensburg. I have Mrs. Merton Williams as Nina Dencore b. Dec. 12, 1882 Altona, Franklin Co., NY and her parents as Marcel Denicore and Elizabeth Bane (no more info than that). I cannot assure you that this is correct but might be a lead. I also see Alphone and Nora in the 1910 census in Altamont, Franklin Co., NY, so it doesn't seem unreasonable. On the exact spelling of names, the French Canadian names often turn up with a number of variations when they are in the US. So don't stress about the variations you find,ex. Leclerc, Leclere,LeClair. This is also true for first names especially when they do not have an exact English version, Alphonse to Alfred, Narcisse to Nelson, etc. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
