LAFRANCE, Ideal m. Violet Smith- final whereabouts?
Hi all -
Looking for the death and final whereabouts of Joseph Philias Ideal LaFrance (nickname was "Deal"). He was born in Thurso, Quebec in 1904 to Philias LaFrance and wife Amanda Guinette or Guenette.
Deal eventually moved to Alberta, married my cousin, Violet Pearl Smith, and they lived in High River. They also spent several years in New Guinea, as Deal was a tool push for Royal Dutch Shell.
I have found Vi at the High River Cemetery, but she is alone. A cousin thinks Deal may have died around 1969, but wasn't sure. I have checked at the archives here in Edmonton, but have not found anything yet. Am also checking to see if he might have been sent back to Thurso for burial with no response yet.
Does anyone have Deal anywhere in their tree? He and Vi did not have children, so it has been difficult to figure out what happened to him.
Thanks!
