   ARTHUR L. TURCOTTE, a well known merchant of New Mar-
ket, N. H., where he is proprietor of an up-to-date hardware store, and
also of a grocery store, both doing a good business, was born at St.
Norbert, Province of Quebec, Canada, October 1, 1880. He is a son
of William and Philomene (Bilodeau) Turcotte, who came to New
Market in 1890.  After arriving here with his parents young Turcotte
found employment in the mill, where he worked for ten years. He then
entered the grocery store of N. J. Brisson, for whom he worked four
years, at the end of which time he bought the grocery store of J. Fil-
lion, which he operated successfully for seven years, and still owns it.
In November, 1913, he engaged in the hardware business at No. 117
Main Street, where he now has the largest store in town.  Both stores
have an excellent patronage and Mr. Turcotte is now numbered among
the prosperous and substantial citizens of the town.  A Democrat in
politics, he served as town treasurer of New Market in 1909 and 1910,
was selectman in 1913 and 1914, in the present year being chairman of
the board.
   On June 18, 1906, Mr. Turcotte was married to Miss Rose DeLima
Lembert, of St. Norbert, P. Q., Canada.  They are the parents of six
children, namely: Leo, born May 24, 1907; Florence, May 18, 1908 ;
Marguerite, Jan. 7, 1910; Romeo, July 1, 1911; Emile, Feb. 23, 1913, and
Juliette, July 3. 1914.  Mrs. Rose D. Turcotte died August 14. 1914.
Mr. Turcotte is president of the French-Canadian society, St. Jean
Baptiste; president of the Lafayette Club, and president of the society
known as Artisans Canadians-Francais.  He is a very popular citizen,
not only among his own people but among the people of the town
generally, and takes an active interest in all measures calculated to
benefit the community.
