His first wife was Diana Awde(1851-1912). Their children, see list below. My grandparents were married in Hannawa Falls on December 24th, 1914.

| Nov.16- I found this house today. It is on the Back Hannawa Road. My father was born in this house,(always know as the farm) but when he was still very young they moved to Church Street in Hannawa Falls. Across from playground of old school I believe it was deeded to a Mrs. Spotswood shortly before Viola's death.. |

| I'm putting down what I fould on a scape of paper just as it reads. Brackets Are mine. Louis Lewis Labarge came over from Howick(I have seen Valley Field in other places), Quebec at 14 yrs. in 1864. BROTHERS: Enos- Norwood( maybe Potsdam), ny , sons- Enos Jr., Elmer, (have ten more) Michelle- stayed in Canada ,Howick,Que. Leodore- married twice,some sons- Harry, Charlie, Frank, Michelle (Sandfordville) Nelson- Potsdam,ny, daughter Celia -m- Dean Paro- five or six children ?........ SISTERS: Deliaw ? one married Louis Perry , ? Tupper Lake,ny ?(found grand-son) Delimaw ? ( Rose-Anne ) ?.................. THERE WERE FOURTEEN IN ALL BORN IN CANADA |
| g-grandmother: Marion Burdick |
| If I can sort out who my grandfather's brothers and sisters (13) were, it will enable me to find who his parents were in Canada, I believe from there back will be much easier, but have been stuck for some years now. So if any one can help fill in some of the blanks, I would be more than grateful. Every question mark I can remove from the list below will be taking me in the right direction. |

| From names and dates that I have pieced together in the last month,and from looking at material that I already had in a new way,it seems that may great-grand father was Enos LaBarge 1828- 1902 who is buried In Old Saint Mary's Cemetery in Potsdam, New York( see picture of head stone at the bottom of this page). The other names and dates I have fit together very well.It rather surprised me because although I heard nothing to confirm it I had assumed my great-grand father never left Canada. I will be trying to make links to all names listed below,but it is looking like I have done what all LaBarges that go looking end up shoting for: "an unbroken link back to Jean de La Berge |

| DEC.01: Having found some of the right questions, that has lead to some answers. Knowing that Ignace (Enos 1829- 1902) was married three times, and having the names and marriage dates for those wifes gave me something to look for. Here is what I found. Given that by 1881. My grandfather, and his brothers: Enos1848- 1928 were already in the Potsdam area. I knew there must be a large family still in canada (at that time). Now I had seven names to look for. Ignaces age is three years off, but given all the names I was looking for are here this gives me four new names, and ages for all. I had a date for Leodore (Leodor) and that matches. So if any one sees a name here that they have more information on I would love to recieve it. Oh yes one other thing, in Old Saint Mary's records there is a listing for: Mrs. Frances LaBarge, but no plot number. I,m just guessing here, but it seems more likely than not that this would be Ignaces third wife. |

| December 2, 2003: Below is listed what believe to be my family line. The reseach dates and places are other peoples work, but it has been done so many time that I have great faith in all of it. Yesterday I got a copy of Enos LaBarge 1828-1902's death certificate, on this I find mother's maiden name as "Wells". This is a name that does not fit with any records I have seen.This is the place in every one's research that things get odd, so will spend the rest of the winter trying to make it clear. |
| Note: the American-French Genealogical Society ,sights the most common name variant for Narcisse is Nelson, maybe I have my Nelson |

headline: FORMER QUARRY WORKER EXPIRES subhead: had undergone two operations since june 26 LEODORE LABARGE, 76, POTSDAM body: Native of Louisburg*, Canada Mr. Labarge Had Resided in Potdam Area Since He Was Young Man- Worked for Clarkson. ____________ (Special To The Times) [ penciled in: 1942 ] Potsdam, July 11.- Leodore LaBarge, 76, one of the last surviving old time quarrymen who worked the Potsdam Red Sandstone quarries in their heyday just before the turn of the century, died this morning in the potsdam hospital. He had undergone two opertions since entering the instit- ution June 26. Funeral services will probably be Monday in St. Mary's church with interment in St. Mary's cemetery. Mr. LaBarge was born near Louisburg, Canada, and came to Potsdam when he was 27 years old He was employed by the late Thomas S. Clackson II, when the latter operated the sandstone quarries on the Racket river near Hannawa He was an expert stonecutter. With the closing of the quarries, he took up farming and operated a farm near West Stockholm Corners, Winthrope road, for many years. He was twice married. His first wife was Melvina Kennedy and after her death he married Amelia Decorie. She survives him along with three sons by his first marriage, Harry and Frank of Potsdam and Arthur LaBarge, Watertown; four sons by the second marriage,Nelson and Charles,Potsdam; Louis, Beechertown, and Mitchell Labarge, Stockholm. Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Henery Dowe, Massena, and Mrs. Delia Bowman, Potsdam, and two brothers, Nelson, Potsdam, and Mitchell Labarge, Louisburg*, Canada. Another brother, Louis, Hannawa Falls, was a construction superintendent on the first hydroelectric development on the Racket river. He died a few years ago. (1929) Note from Lucien LaBerge:" The second wife Amelia Decorie, the exact spelling is Am�lia D�carie" "Delia Bowman is Ad�lia " * Re: Louisburg, "The only possibility that I can find is that they call St-Louis de Gonzague by the name of Louisbourg. Since it was probably to hard to pronounce St-Louis de Gonzague, they named it Louisbourg(Louisburg). In the Canadian Archives & the Quebec archives, there are no town call Louisbourg or Louisburg in the Quebec province. No Lewisburg also." |
