		+	When he was a young boy, my father’s family came to the United States and settled in Lewiston, where he grew up. At the age of 9, he was what they called a water boy for Hills Cotton Mills, carrying water in a pail, giving a drink to whomever was thirsty. In those days, there were no water fountains in the mill.
		+
		+	At the age of 19, he married, although I can’t recall the girl’s name. She died of childbirth a year later, and the baby boy died with her.
		+
		+	At the age of 22, he married my mother, who was only 15 years old. My mother and father had ttwelve children – 5 boys and 7 girls. However, four boys and one girl died as babies before I was born – they were Onesime, Wilfred, Eleude, Adelard and a little girl, Elaine. This must have been very difficult on my parents. I was born on February 8, 1900 in Lewiston, Maine, on a very cold night. I was the first of my parents’ children to live past the age of a baby.
		+
		+	When I was eight months old, my folks moved from Lewiston to Chisholm, where I grew up on Main St. There was a nice young girl who worked in our house: Aldea Beaudette. My mother had her help in the house and care for us children. Later, in 1905, my sister Aldea was born and was named for her. I remember that night. When my sister was baptized, Aldea Beaudette became her godmother, and later entered the convent.
		+
		+	My father was a night watchman for Maine Central Railroad, in the roundhouse right across the street from Chabot’s. There was what they call a round table – my father backed the engine onto it, to turn the engine. I had a good time playing on the train when I was young.
		+
		+	One spring, my father bought a little farm in East Jay, but my mother did not like it there. I went to school in a little schoolhouse that Herbert Fuller later turned into a nice home of his own. I remember my sister Ida and I picking strawberries with an old, gentleman named Parker Smith. He would talk to us in English and we would answer in French.
