Information: In 1903, his Mother moved the family to Remouski, Canada, after his Father died, and then to a farm outside of Coaticook, Canada. Joseph A. rarely spoke English and although we knew he understood, he always preferred to speak French. He moved from Coaticook, Canada in 1935 to Manchester, New Hampshire. He then lived with his son (Joseph A. R. LaFerrière) from 1972 until his death. SSN 009-12-0643 (VT) |
Wife: Rose Marie Cameron |
Married: September 10, 1924 at St Marc, Coaticook, Quebec, Canada. Note: (not verified) Joseph and Rose had to pay an additional fee due to the fact they were very distantly related (3rd or 4th cousins). From what I understand this might be due to the LePage line. |
