Though the stone reads "Lamirandre" it actually is incorrect and should be Lamirande While this tombstone cannot be read as it is very worn and faint, we were fortunate to obtain a correction (and an older photograph showing the stone intact) from a family member, Mr. Ed Lamirande, a great-grandson, who provided the following information on this tombstone: "I was never able to find out why the family surname was spelled incorrectly. Felix Arbour died on Feb 3, 1886, according to his Holyoke certificate of death, not march "MARS 1887". Felix was Theodore Lamirande's s father-in-law. Theodore's wife, Malvina Arbour (Picard from a previous marriage) is also buried there. Theodore died on Jan 8, 1908 and Malvina died on Feb 19, 1939. The remaining names are some of the children of Theodore and Malvina." Special thanks to Mr. Lamirande for providing this information! |
