Hazlett, Richmond-Arnold Publishing Co., Chicago, Ill., 1915 Page 1253 EDMOND G. TRUDEL, a member of the firm of Trudel & Bellavance, wholesale and retail dealers in liquors at Derry, N. H., was born in St. Menique, Canada, in 1866, son of Edmond G. and Philomine Trudel. In his youth he learned the blacksmith trade under his father and at the age of Page 1254 twenty started out for himself, going first to Vermont, in which state he fol- lowed his trade for two years. Subsequently he followed it elsewhere, going from place to place until he located in Exeter, N. H., where he conducted a shop of his own for three years. About fifteen years ago he came to Derry and worked at his trade here and occasionally at other occupations until 1908, when the firm of Trudel & Bellavance was formed, which now does a whole- sale and retail business of considerable magnitude, being the only wholesale house in Derry. As a business man Mr. Trudel takes an intelligent interest in politics, without, however, aspiring to public office. He belongs to the fraternal orders of Elks and Eagles and also to several French societies, being president of the St. John Baptiste Society. He married first Miss Rosa Bouque, who died in March, 1909, having been the mother of four children, namely: William F., of Springfield, Mass., Altha, Abilena and Lura. Mr. Trudel subsequently married Miss Emma Landry, of Derry, N. H. They are members of the Catholic church and have many friends and acquaintances in and around Derry. ********************************************************************** * * * NOTICE: Printing the files within by non-commercial individuals and libraries is encouraged, as long as all notices and submitter information is included.
