Remarques
-
Alice Tourigny (née Breton), was born in St-Giles, Québec, on September 5, 1907 and died in Lewiston, Maine on 25 April 1966. Mrs Tourigny was the creator of the document, and maternal aunt to Mr. Philip Belanger, who is the present owner of a photocopy edition. Mr. Belanger did not know the whereabouts of the original notebook. Philip Belanger, son of Philippe Henri Joseph Belanger and Eva Breton, loaned the Archives his photocopy edition for copying. Mr. Belanger, born in Auburn, Maine, went to school in Lisbon and Madawampeag, Maine. His wife is from Wallagrass and they moved to Plaisted in 1980. According to Mr. Belanger, Alice Tourigny’s father’s name was Arcadus Breton. Her family moved to Lewiston during her childhood, where her parents worked in the mills. Alice had four brothers and three sisters. Mr. Belanger remembers visiting the Breton’s household in Lewiston as a child and that his aunt and her sisters enjoyed singing around the piano, especially around the Christmas season.
