Alphée was a jack of all trades in Cormier Village. He was the barber with Hectorine. They had the village post office in their house. He would slaughter most of the village animals. He was a bricklayer. He had a silver fox farm for a while. Their farm had one cow, a few pigs, lots of hens and geese and vegetables and fruits enough to sell. Alphée was somewhat of a guru in the village, read tea leaves, prescribed folk remedies, removed warts, predicted the weather, told folk tales, sang folk songs, etc. In his young days, he had been a boxer and a tight rope walker. All winter he would make snowshoes with moose skin and he would carve axe handles which he would sell. He was a saw and axe sharpener. He was a crack shot and would guide American hunters. He also worked in Joggin Mines with Thaddée for a spell. He spent some time in logging and lumber mills.
There was no electricity in the village before 1954 and no telephone. Alphée had a battery radio with a large antenna and they would listen to New Carlisle, Gaspé Peninsula, Québec at CHNC.

Other Events:

• Residence: Sep 1907, St Andre, Westmorland Co, New Brunswick

Notes:

Birth:
Her Death Registration states that she died April 5, 2022 which is 2 days before her 65th birthday on April 7, 2022.

Buried:
Death Date on Tombstone is wrong. Dina LeBlanc died 5 April 1922, 2 days short of her 65th birthday.-note by A.Owen,March2022.

Died:
Discrepancy for death date. The accurate date of death for Dina is 5 April 1922. The Cap Pelé parish register (mf reel F1891) at the Centre d'Etude Acadienne in Moncton, New Brunswick has a burial entry dated 7 April 1922 for Dina T LeBlanc spouse of Philippe Vienneau who died "avant hier" age 65. Also, Vital Statistics from the Provincial Archives, New Brunswick (mf reel F18951, Vol.48, Reg #48926) has a death registration for Dina LeBlanc for her death on 5 April 1922 and also states that she would have been age 65 on 7th April 1922; therefore she died 2 days before her 65th birthday. The 1911 Canadian census gives her birth month and year as April 1857. Previous information obtained on Dina LeBlanc, wife of Philippe Vienneau from Leo Vienneau in the 1990's said that Dina died on 3rd May 1922 and the Book: Cemeteries of Westmorland County Botsford Parish, page 195, gives Dina's death as 3 mai 1923 and states the tombstone is worn.-A.Owen, March2022.
