Joseph Jean d'Avila Glaude was born at St-Theodore d-Acton, Quebec on Nov. 17, 1883 and he was baptized there the next day. [1] He was the second child of three and the second of three sons of George Labossière and Aurelie Roy. His surname, Glaude come from his father having adopted this name in later life in honour of being descended from Pierre-Louis Claude Labossiere who was the patriarch of the junior branch of the Labossiere family in North America.
His family moved to Maine sometime before 1900 and his father also died before 1900 and his mother remarried and they moved to Woonsocket, RI.
