Biography

This profile is part of the Labossiere Name Study.

Joseph Napoleon Glaude was born Feb. 12, 1866 at St-Hyacinthe and he was baptized there the same day. ^[1]He was the sixth child of eight and the third and last son of Michel Labossière and Esther Lussier. Joseph Napoleon had five older half siblings from his father's first marriage, but two had already died young and one more would die in a few months, so Joseph would never know his sibling. Sadly, Joseph also lost two older full siblings. Joseph seems to have used Claude as his surname in later life.

Joseph Napoleon Claude married Marie Cleophee Albina Gagnee on May 21, 1889 at St-Hyacinthe. ^[2]She was the daughter of Onesime Gagne and Cleophee Poitras who had married at St-Marc. Over the next 15 years, Joseph Napoleon and Albina gagne had nine children, all born at St-Hyacinthe.

In Sept. 1907, the family moved to Massachusetts and they are found at the St. Albans border crossing, Vermont. ^[4] and the immigration file has also been found. ^[5]

They had one more child born in New Bedford, MA. , but they must have briefly lived in Plainfield, CT as the family is found there in the 1910 U.S. census with the surviving seven children.
