Misc: Contributed by Tom Peters of New Jersey:

Marie Blanchard in l824. He officially leased a tract of 59 acres in Lot #2 on the 25th March l839. When
Moise died between 22 May l873 & 11 December l875, he left the 39 acres remaining of the 59 acre tract to
three of his children: Agnes, Marguerite and Leon. The two spinster sisters sold their interest to
Leon and he sold the 39 acre farm to R.B. Reid in l875.

Obituaries for the children:
Domitile Pitre: L'Impartial (PEI),
Thursday, July 28, 1904: Death has just taken from her family and friends
one of the most noble women in the village of Lot 2. Mrs. Calixte
Chiasson succumbed on July 11, at the age of 66, to a long and painful
illness. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones. A
descendant of a family whose name alone inspires respect in all, Mrs. Chiasson
showed throughout her life the example of the greatest charity. The
funeral, which departed from the family home, took place at the parish cemetery
amid a large gathering of relatives and friends. The funeral service was
conducted by Reverend Doctor Chiasson, pastor of Rustico and brother of
Mr. Calixte Chiasson. The gentlemen whose names follow served as
pallbearers: Joseph V. Buote, Jerome Buote, Jerome Martin, Joseph Pitre, Joseph
J. Buote, and Jean Blanchard. To the bereaved family of Mrs. Chiasson,
L'Impartial sends the expression of its deepest sympathy.
