Joseph Lagace (son of Jean Lagace and Caroline Huart) and Emma St-Hilaire (daughter of Louis St-Hilaire and Judith Boissonneau) were married on January 12th, 1885, following the usual publication of three bans.

Joseph was a labourer and of legal age at the time of his marriage, whereas Emma St-Hilaire was a minor and required her parents’ consent to marry. The priest, Father Vallee, confirmed that both bride and groom were from his parish (St-Flavien de Lotbiniere) and that there were no known impediments to the marriage.

Official witnesses to the marriage were the bride’s godmother Mathilda Boissonneault and Omere St-Hilaire.
