     JOSEPH A. BRISSON, of New Market, N. H., who is conducting
a prosperous business as grocer and meat dealer, was born in St. John,
Province of Quebec, Canada, November 11, 1882. His parents were
Victor and Emma (Mailhot) Brisson, both of Canadian birth. He re-
sided in his native place until he was eight years old, at which time he
accompanied his parents to New Market, N. H., where his father
obtained employment in the mill. He attended the public schools of
New Market until reaching the age of fifteen years, when he began
industrial life in the mill, remaining there until 1904. Having by this
time saved some money, he determined to go into business for himself,
and accordingly purchased the meat and grocery business of his brother,
Nave Brisson, which he has since carried on very successfully, having
built up a large and lucrative trade. He now ranks among the leading
merchants in the town.
     Mr. Brisson was married, June 26, 1905, to Miss Leda Blanchatte,
daughter of Adelard and Celina (Viger) Blanchatte, of New Market.
He and his wife are the parents of four children: Alfred, Alice, Emma
and Raymond, two of whom are attending school in New Market.
Mr. Brisson belongs to the Catholic Order of Foresters, to the Eagles,
and to the Union Fraternal League. He served the town of New Market
as treasurer in 1911 and 1912. He and his family have a pleasant and

prosperous and substantial residents of the town and are highly
esteemed.
