Biography

[3] In 1911, according to the Census, he is living on Shediac Island with his wife, his son Thadée and his family. He married Françoise on October 27, 1845 in Grande-Digue. The marriage record mentions that his father is Honoré Fougère and his mother is Magdalena Bellefontaine (deceased) [4][5] He passed away in 1917 at the age of 93. [6] He was a farmer and a laborer.
La première famille à s'établir sur l'Ile de Shédiac
"Les premières familles acadiennes se sont établies sur l'Ile de Shédiac vers 1863. La carte de Walling de 1862, basée sur le recensement de 1861, n'indique aucun édifice sur l'île. La première famille aurait été celle d'Edouard Fougère et Françoise Poirier de Wisener. Au début du siècle on y trouve les fils et petit-fils d'Edouard Fougère ou ses gendres, Petitpas et Clements et la famille Robinson, d'origine norvégienne, dont le père était gardien du phare depuis les années 1880.
Au début du siècle présent (1900), on y trouvait un service de traversier, un quai, un phare, des chemins, des maisons, des granges et une école : l'île comptait une vingtaine de familles. Dans les années 1930 et 40, plusieurs maisons furent abandonnées alors que d'autres furent halées à la terre ferme à Shédiac, au Pont-de-Shédiac ou à la Pointe-du-Chêne. Les désavantages principaux furent surtout l'isolement de la terre ferme, l'absence de soins médicaux lors des cas d'urgence, le manque d'électricité, le trajet pour les ouvriers travaillant à la ville et des écoliers une fois l'école abandonnée, etc."[7]
