Mr. Archambault was married in Montreal in June, 1873, to Miss
Ernestine, the eldest daughter of the late Senator Rolland,
of Montreal. In religious faith Mr. and Mrs. Archambault are
Catholics, and his political belief is that of the conservative
party. He belongs to the Canadian Club and those who meet him
socially find him an entertaining, genial and cultured gentleman
whose ways are those of refinement and whose word no man can
question. The Montreal Star has said of him: “His career has
been marked with continuous success and great devotion to the
legal profession.” His prominence is the logical outcome of well
developed talents and powers and he is justly accounted today one
of the leaders of the provincial bar.
JOHN CLEMENT NEUFVILLE BADGLEY.
The Badgley family is one of the old and prominent families of
Montreal, their connection with the city’s history dating back to
1785.
Four generations of this family have been prominently identified
with the city’s business and professional interests. John C. N.
Badgley, active in business circles for many years, remained a
resident of this city from his birth on December 7, 1856, until
his death on March 7, 1906.
He was a son of the Hon. William Badgley, D. C. L., one of the
eminent representatives of the judiciary of the province, and a
nephew of Dr. Francis Badgley, one of the most prominent members
of the medical profession of his day and an early member of the
McGill College faculty. Dr. Badgley died in England where he
resided the latter years of his life.
Hon. William Badgley, whose entire life was spent in Montreal,
was born in this city, March 27, 1801, his parents being Francis
and Elizabeth (Lilly) Badgley. The father, a representative of
an old Derbyshire family, was born in London and for years was a
well known Montreal merchant. He was likewise a recognized leader
in political circles and represented his city in the provincial
parliament from 1801 until 1805. The father of the Hon. William
Badgley, Francis Badgley, was one of the early settlers of
Montreal, arriving in 1785. Francis Badgley became one of the
prominent fur merchants in Montreal and married Elizabeth Lilly,
daughter of John Lilly.
