In 1920 the Bourgaults were recorded in the census at 202 Madison Street in Fitchburg. They owned a two family house and rented out part of it. Pierre, 48, was a teamster at a paper mill. He and Flora, 43, had eleven children at home! They were: Flora, 24, a winder at a cotton mill, Ida, 22, a bookkeeper at a provision store, Blanche, 20, a winder at a cotton mill, Edmond, 19, a cutter at a paper mill, Alcid, 16, a shipper's helper at a paper mill, Angenon, 15, Edwilda, 10, Theodore, 8, Harvey, 6, Theresa, 4, and Bernadette, eleven months. The girls outnumbered the boys by one.
By 1930 the size of the household was cut in half. Still at the Madison Street home were: Peter, 59, a weaver at a gingham mill, Flora, 54, Angenon, 21, a railroad laborer, Theodore, 18, Hervey, 16, who were both cutters at a pants shop, Theresa, 14, and Bernadette, 11. Flora and her husband, Adel Racette, both thirty-four years old, and their daughter, Cecile, 7, were residing in the apartment at her parents' home. They were paying thirteen dollars a month in rent. Mr. Racette was a caretaker at a golf course.
Sadly, Mr. and Mrs. Bourgault both passed away in 1938 and 1936 respectively. Happily, though, they were still alive in 1935 to see their daughter, Theresa, marry her husband, Edmund A. Conrad. They wed on May 28, 1935 at Greenville, New Hampshire. According to their marriage record Mr. Conrad was a papermaker and Miss Bourgault was employed as a wrapper.
In 1940 the Conrads were enumerated in the census at their apartment at 16 Wachusett Street in Fitchburg. The young couple had two little boys: Edmund, 1 year old, and Thomas, less than a month old. Edmund, Sr.'s occupation was listed as a finisher at a paper manufacturing company.
------------------------------
Mrs. Conrad's 2006 obituary mentioned that she worked for Cluett Peabody & Company for twenty years. That factory manufactured shirts, cuffs and collars. She retired in 1978. Theresa enjoyed bowling and gardening. Two sons, two daughters, seven grandkids and eight great-grandchildren survived her.
