   JOSEPH A. BELLA VANCE, a member of the firm of Trudel & Bel-
lavance, wholesale and retail dealers in liquors, at Derry. N. H., was born
in St. Johns, Province of Quebec, Canada, Dec. 14, 1874. His parents were
Antoine and Virginia Bellavance, the father being a lumber operator by
occupation. The subject of this sketch resided in his native town until he was
thirteen years of age. He then came to New Hampshire, taking up his resi-
dence in Nashua, where he remained for eight or ten years. He then came
to Derry and found employment in the shoe factories, being thus occupied
for about eight years. Subsequent to this he engaged in the restaurant busi-
ness, also opening a pool room. This combined business he sold out in
order to form his present partnership with E. G. Trudel. In addition to this
he is interested in real estate, owning a large business block on Broadway,
Derry, in which the firm expects soon to start another business enterprise.
Mr. Bellavance belongs to several fraternal orders, including the Elks, of
Manchester, the Eagles, and the New England Order of Protection. He was
married to Miss Ethel Morse, who was born in Chester, N. H., and was reared
in Derry. They have one child, Mildred Bellavance.
