====================================================================

Mr. Ed. Lavaliere was born at St. Bernard, Quebec, Dec. 3, 1853, and moved 
to St. Joseph, Mo., with his parents at the age of 11 years. After living 
in Missouri for 8 years he came to Rice Lake where his parents settled on 
a farm.

In 1877 he was married to Louise Roberge and 10 children were born to them, 
all of whom are living except two who died in infancy. After his marriage, 
Mr. Lavaliere spent most of his life on the farm, but he was a strong 
believer of good roads and good schools, as he served as road master and
school clerk for a number of years.

Mr. Lavaliere was a strong and healthy man all thru his life until a short 
time ago. He didn't feel well for about two months. He died March 27, 1917, 
of arterio sclerosis, at the age of 64 years, 3 months, and 24 days.

The funeral was held at Dobie on March 29, Rev. Peter Dickops officiating, 
and the remains interred in Our Lady of Lourdes cemetery. A wife and eight 
children, Mrs. Miles McLaughlin, Mrs. Cyril Derouseau, Mrs. L.E. Gonyer, 
Mrs. Ed. Forrest, Mrs. Nap Derocher, William, Eddie and Anna Lavaliere, ten 
grand children, a sister, Mrs. P. Gagner, all of Rice Lake, Mr. John 
Lavaliere and Mrs. Joe Campbell, a brother and sister of Spring Brook, and 
a sister, Mrs. Francis Desair of Kansas, are left to mourn the loss of a 
loving husband, father, and brother.

We miss thee from our home, dear father,
We miss thee from thy place, A shadow o'er our life is cast; 
We miss the sunshine of thy face,
We miss thy kind and willing hand, Thy fond and earnest care. 
Our home is dark without thee--
We miss thee everywhere.

--The Rice Lake Chronotype, April 5, 1917
