In Montreal Mr. Edgar was united in marriage to Miss Selina
Kidner and unto them were born five children, three sons and two
daughters: John Hamilton, who is connected with the Canadian
Pacific Railway; Frank Clifton, connected with the Royal Bank
of Canada at Montreal; William Dewar, of the custom house of
Montreal; Katie Selina; and Lillian Maud. The death of the
husband and father occurred September 12, 1913, and was the
occasion of deep regret to many with whom he had been closely
associated in business and social circles. In politics he
was a conservative but without aspiration for public office.
He belonged to the Royal Albert Lodge of Masons and was a
faithful member of the Church of St. James the Apostle. In those
connections are indicated the principles which governed his life
and guided him in all of his relations.
CAMILLE TESSIER.
Camille Tessier, a young man possessed of laudable ambition and
determination, is making continuous progress in the field of
his chosen profession--that of the practice of law. He was born
at Berthierville, Quebec, July 26, 1887, a son of Dominique
and Odile (Des Rosiers) Tessier, the former a merchant at
Berthierville. He is descended from French ancestors who landed
here with the pioneers of the country. Like the greater part
of Canada’s first inhabitants, they were farmers and spent
their whole lives in cultivating the lands which they had first
courageously conquered from the wilderness and from the forest on
the north side of the St. Lawrence river, thus contributing in
large measure to the actual prosperity of the country.
