J. ADELARD OUIMET.
Among the better known advocates of Montreal is J. Adélard
Ouimet, who is a member of the firm of Ouimet & Guertin. He
is one of the most successful men in his line, and by his
career carries forward the tradition of the family which to a
large extent has been connected with the legal fraternity. The
grandfather, Michel Ouimet, was justice of the peace of St. Rose,
in the county of Laval, and also took an active part in the
insurrection of 1837. The father of J. Adélard Ouimet was Landré
Ouimet, and his wife was in her maidenhood Miss Euphémie Bourqué.
A brother of our subject, also named Landré Ouimet, was for ten
years an alderman for St. Jean Baptiste ward and an uncle on the
paternal side was judge of the court of appeals and president of
the City and District Savings Bank.
