Peter Patenaude in Hardisty

Hi:

I'm trying to determine where/when my great grandfather died ... and am wondering if it was in Hardisty. I've done research and found Peter Patenaude living in Wetaskiwin with his wife Mary and kids ... according to the 1901 census.

Peter owned a livery stable in Wetaskiwin between the Criterion and Driard Hotels ... and rebuilt there after a fire destroyed the block in 1903. I've got a newspaper reference from the Daily Herald in Calgary, dated 4 Apr 1907 that says Peter helped Camille Miquelon purchase the Cecil Hotel in Hardisty, AB in 1907. A newspaper clipping from Wetaskiwin in 1910 is calling Peter to appear in court there to deal with an outstanding Mortgage claim for property in Wetaskiwin ... Camille is mentioned as a co-defendent ... and Camille's brother is filing the suit.

So I'm wondering if there's any record of Peter in Hardisty ... perhaps his burial ... around 1909 and 1910.

Thanks!

Mike Patenaude

Hi, Just curious - in your message you place a possible death 1909/1910 - though there is a news clipping req.Peter to appear in court 1910. Why do you believe that Peter PATENAUDE may have passed away in that time frame?
Do you know his aprox. date of birth etc.
5 116 Patenaud Peter M Head M Nov 18 1868 32
6 116 Patenaud Mary F Wife M Sep 26 1876 24
7 116 Patenaud Albert M Son S Dec 25 1893 7
8 116 Patenaud Arthur M Son S Jan 7 1896 5
9 116 Patenaud Laura F Dau S Jun 28 1897 3
10 116 Patenaud Dona M Son S Jan 30 1899 2
11 116 Patenaud Wilfrid M Son S Mar 20 1900 0

Do any of the family appear in the 1906 , 1911, 1916 Census?

Perhaps: Contact the Provincial Archive - re the court hearing re the Mortgage in Wetaskiwin. They will be able to advise if they have records - or where they may be available -

They may hold newspapers for the area - where there may be further info - perhaps also location of the family - deaths, burials etc.
**the Archive may have some info - index - of deaths ?
Contact the Cemetery for Hardisty Ab. They may be able to advise re burials:
http://www.hardisty.ca/community_org/cemetery.htm

The Govt of Alberta Vital Statistics Registry Offices - will do a search - a few years either side of a given time/year - The cost for a Genealogical Registration of Death is $40. **don't know if they would do a search -without a fee.

Stella:

thanks for the advice! The last census record I have for Peter with his family in a Census was the 1901 Canadian census which is what you've cited below. The 1906 census shows that Mary and the children are now living in Winnipeg. I have other sources that indicate she arrived in 1904 and put the kids in orphanages ... with instructions that there was to be no contact with Peter.

The Henderson directories show that Peter continued to be in Wetaskiwin until about 1907 or 1908. The 1903 Wetaskiwin times said that Peter was going to Red Lake Falls Minnesota for a few months to visit friends ... and a 1904 reference suggests he arrived back in Wetaskiwin. Mary's family was in that area and Peter/Mary were married there ... so my hunch is that they traveled there as a family ... Mary stayed in Winnipeg with the kids ... and Peter returned to Wetaskiwin.

The 1907 Calgary newspaper reference points to Peter Patenaude purchasing the Cecil Hotel in Hardisty along with Camille Miquelon. The only reference after that is the legal notice in 1910.

Property records from Wetaskiwin show Peter's properties being sold off between 1905 and 1909. He owned a livery stable ... and owned/raced horses and horse-drawn carts in various fairs.

The 1911 Census shows Mary with the kids in Winnipeg ... and she's listed there as Widowed. She then remarried in 1912 in Winnipeg and is listed with the kids and her new husband in the 1916 census.

I did get the Alberta vital statistics to search records for Peter's death in the 1904 to 1906 window ... they found nothing. I may now get them to search the 1907 to 1910 window as you suggested.

So the last known mention of Peter is the joint-purchase of the Cecil hotel in Hardisty ... in 1907. So I'm going on the theory that he died sometime between 1907 and 1912 ...

Thanks again!

Mike

The Master Surname Index (not online) (mostly burials in Alberta cemeteries) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists some 80 PATENOUDE and 18 MIQUELON names, but none that fit your query.

Mike,

How's the search coming along? I may have some time when I'm at the Provincial Archives next to take a look at the death registers for the Hardisty area for him if you still have nothing.

That would be great if you're able ... I've still got nothing on Peter's death. My best guess is that he died somewhere between 1904 and 1914. Thanks!!

Unfortunately there was no registers for the Hardisty area for the time you think he died. Is it possibly he may have died in Westakiwin?

Do you know which brother filed the suit against Camille and Peter? Camille is one of my ancestors and I find it interesting that he went to court against one of his siblings. Thanks for any help!

Hi:

The suit was filed by Romeo J. Miquelon and the Calgary Brewing & Malting Co. Limited (Plaintiffs) against Camille Miquelon and Peter Patenaude (Defendants). The action was brought to cover $5711.70, the amount due on a mortgage, dated the 17th day of July 1907, covering Lots 30 and 31, Block _3, Plan 945R, and made by the Defendants, Peter Patenaude and Camille Miquelon, of Hardisty, Alta, and for an order that in default of such payment the mortaged premises be sold or that the defendants do stand thenceforth absolutely debarred and foreclosed of and from all interest in the said mortgaged premises.

I believe the two of them invested in the Cecil hotel in Hardisty.
