To Eternal Rest

Mrs. Amable Goudreau of Epoufette passed peacefully away at her home, Tuesday a.m. at 3 o'clock. She was 71 years of age at the time of death.

Mrs. Goudreau came to this vicinity a number of years ago, in a canoe from Collingwood, Ontario, Canada for the purpose of attending school and church. Here she met Amable Goudreau, who came here in 1840, and they were married, making their home here and at Epoufette since that time.

Seven sons, Abraham, Alexander, Joseph, Amable, Isaac, Louis and Peter, and three daughters, Mrs. John McLeod, Mrs. Joseph Bellant and Mrs. Joseph Keyandaway are left to mourn her loss. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon from the residence of her son Joseph in this city and was largely attended.

Mrs. and Mrs. Goudreau were among the first white settlers in this vicinity - they occupied a house at that time on the ground where the Rocque's Drug store now stands. The family is a very large one, consisting of 132 in all, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery in this city. The family has the sympathy of a large concourse of friends in their bereavement.
