Biography

This profile is part of the Labossiere Name Study.

Eugene was born about 1876, possibly in Canada. His birth record has not been found, but he is listed in the U.S. 1880 census. [See below.] He is the 11th. of 12 known children and the last of seven sons of Joseph Labossiere and Justine Lamoureux.

Eugene and his family moved to Marlborough, MA sometime before 1880, possibly as early as 1872. [In which case, he must have been born in MA], They are found at Marlborough, MA in the 1880 census. This includes eight of their nine surviving children.

[There is some conflict about whether the last three children were actually born in Canada as the marriage record of, Roseanna, the 10th. child shows her born at Marlborough about 1873. If this is correct, then it is most probable that Eugene was also born in MA.
