Improvements Made to Hughes' Cemetery

Born in St. Lambert, Quebec in 1849, he came to work as a river driver for the Page Lumber Co. He drowned, at age 20, at Deer Falls, Belmont Twp. The record shows that Mr. Downs of the Page Co. donated a monument, but it does not exist today. We have tried to locate family members without success. Let us know if you know a "Paradis".
