Remi and Adele Emond

My Grandma Pilot’s parents were Remi Emond and Adele Emond. They were married September 25, 1877 in Riviere du Loup, Quebec, and according to my mother they were cousins, thus had the same last name. They had 11 children; the second to youngest was my grandmother, Marie Anne Laura Emond Pilot.

A report from Ancestor Seekers lists the names and birth dates of 10 children as follows: Marie Albertine, March 19, 1879; Marie Josephine, July 6, 1880; Marie Juliana, May 25, 1882; Joseph Silvo, October 13, 1887; Joseph Aime Marzanod, January 26, 1889; Joseph Philippe, September 3, 1891; Marie Eva, January 15, 1893; Joseph Adelard Albert, May 24, 1894; Marie Anne Laura, May 17, 1896; and Louis Joseph Alphee, August 24, 1897.

Ancestor Seekers did research on Remi and Adele Emond. They found a Canadian Census record which placed them in Fraserville, Temiscouta, Quebec in 1881. (Fraserville later changed its name to Riviere du Loup.) Remi was 28 and was listed as a journalier (day laborer). At the time they had two children listed as Albertine, 2, and Olivine, 9 months. Remi immigrated to Lowell, Massachusetts in 1899.

In June of 1900 a US Census taker found the Emond family at 795 Lakeview Ave and listed all 11 children. He did misspell the name of the family as “Emon”. They had been in the US for one year. Remi and all the children aged 14 and up were working in the mills on hosiery.

The 1920 US Census placed 63-year-old Remi Emond at 176 Ludlam St, Lowell, MA. Adele was listed as were the following children: Adolphe, 34; Philippe, 27: Joseph, 25: Laura, 23 and a granddaughter, Anna, who was 10. Remi’s occupation was shown as a dyer. My grandmother, Laura’s occupation was listed as a stamping.
