-- As published in the Winnipeg Tribune, March 25, 1957
With six others of his family, Joseph was one of the people mentioned on the manifest of the SS Vancouver, as arriving on April 2, 1905, in Halifax, NS, from Liverpool, England. They were seven among 63 members of the following Breton families, nearly all from Guern or nearby villages, some of whom may well have been headed for Red Deer in British territories destined to become what is now Alberta, but a missionary aboard convinced them all(?) to head for St-Claude, instead:
Cloaree, Corbeil, Couronne, Dacquay, Dondo, David, Gloux, Guigneno / Guigueno, Jute, Kervegant, Le Bris, Le Brun, Le Carre, Le Devehet / Le Devehat, Le Franc, Le Francheur, Le Gourrince, Le Mial, Le Pape, Maurre, Puybasset, Philippe, Phillipot, Rebiffe, Zegouzo
Joseph's nephew, Roland (1931), recalls a hot day when they were working in the field and Joseph was so thirsty that he went to grab a jug and whipped it up in the air for a big drink... and it was gasoline!
