Subject: [Q-R] DEMUTH burial in St. Joseph Beauce, 1869
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:27:44 -0700 (PDT)

Listers,
 
In a published repertoire of burials for Saint-Joseph de Nouvelle Beauce, 1737-2006, (Beauce County)I found the following extract on p. 580 for:
 
"DEMUTH, Louis, g. prison", 
 
the burial date was 1869-02-03, with the death occuring on 1869-01-31, age ca. 72.  His spouse was Elisabeth Gregoire and his parents Louis & Marie Blanchet.
 
My request is for someone with access to Drouin on Ancestry.ca to look at the actual entry for me.  I would like to know whether the quoted "g. prison" is accurate, and hopefully, some context that would indicate its meaning.  It may be that he was a guard (rather than an inmate!?)  He had been a court bailiff in nearby Ste-Marie for years until 1860.  A court and prison were completed in St. Joseph by 1862. 
 
Very few of the other burial extracts included a notation of occupation.  
 
Thank you,
Paul Keroack
