Mr. Lelievre, who was born in Gaspe, Quebec, was predeceased by his wife, who died in 1936. He spent his early years as a lumberjack in Michigan. In 1897 he came north via the Dyea trail in company with a small group of French-Canadians. He whipsawed boat lumber at Lake Bennett, and went to Dawson City in 1898. For several years he placer-mined and ran roadhouses in the Klondike and Stewart River areas. During the 1920's and 1930's he operated a small ranch and a wood business in Mayo. He resided continually in the Yukon with the exception of a brief visit to Quebec in 1934. He is mourned by one son, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren."
