      ALFRED LA FRANCE,* proprietor of a flourishing grocery and meat
market, in New Market, N. H., was born in the province of Quebec, Canada,
March 19, 1875. His parents, Ephrim and Louise (Loearel) LaFrance, are

      Alfred LaFrance resided in his native place until 1891, at which time he
left home, and coming to New Market, N. H found work in the mill here.
He remained thus employed until February 1, 1905, when he purchased the
grocery and meat market of Mr. Frechett and entered into business for him-
self. He has since enlarged his store and has built up a good trade, number-
ing among his patrons many of the leading people in the town.
      Mr. LaFrance was married May 26, 1902, to Mary Muller, a daughter
of Lewis and Mary (Brusso) Muller of New Market. He and his wife have

Foresters, the American Order of Foresters, the Fraternal Order of Eagles,
