HISTORY/HISTOIRE
François-Xavier Delaquis and Clémentine Gauderon, merchants in Fribourg, Switzerland, had 4 sons and 2 daughters. Three of the four sons emigrated to the Pembina Hills in Manitoba in 1904 to 1906.
Xavier, Louis and Pierre initially bought and broke some land in the Rathwell area in 1904-06, eventually moving to the town of Notre-Dame de Lourdes.
Xavier stayed on the farm until 1919 and then bought the general store in Notre Dame de Lourdes, later adding a lumber yard. He and his wife, Caroline Oberson, had 6 children.
Louis left the farm around 1913-14 to explore opportunities in Brazil. He came back to Canada and graduated in veterinary medicine at the University of Montreal in 1919. He returned to Notre-Dame de Lourdes to establish his veterinarian practice. He married his wife, Thérèse Hébert, in 1920 and moved to their own farm on the outskirts of the town. They had 9 children.
Pierre had studied engineering, mechanics and electricity in Lille, France. He moved to Notre Dame de Lourdes in 1915 establishing a garage and acting as an agent for Case and Ford. In 1912, he married Marie Fauchère, also from Switzerland. They had 9 children.
François-Xavier Delaquis et Clémentine Gauderon, marchands à Fribourg, en Suisse, avaient 4 fils et 2 filles. Trois des quatre fils ont émigré vers les collines de Pembina au Manitoba entre 1904 et 1906.
Xavier, Louis et Pierre ont d’abord acheté et défriché des terres dans la région de Rathwell en 1904-06, avant de déménager dans la ville de Notre-Dame de Lourdes.
Xavier est resté à la ferme jusqu’en 1919, puis a acheté le magasin général à Notre-Dame de Lourdes, ajoutant plus tard un entrepôt de bois. Lui et sa femme, Caroline Oberson, ont eu 6 enfants.
Louis a quitté la ferme vers 1913-14 pour explorer des opportunités au Brésil. Il est revenu au Canada et a obtenu son diplôme en médecine vétérinaire à l’Université de Montréal en 1919. Il est retourné à Notre-Dame de Lourdes pour établir sa pratique vétérinaire. Il a épousé sa femme, Thérèse Hébert, en 1920 et a déménagé dans leur propre ferme à la périphérie de la ville. Ils ont eu 9 enfants.
Pierre avait étudié l’ingénierie, la mécanique et l’électricité à Lille, en France. Il a déménagé à Notre Dame de Lourdes en 1915, établissant un garage et agissant comme agent pour Case et Ford. En 1912, il a épousé Marie Fauchère, également originaire de Suisse. Ils ont eu 9 enfants.
