Leonard Alphonse d’Eon, affectionately known as
“Marais”, age 102 of Roseway Manor, formerly of Lower West

the family farm and lobster fishing with his father, harvesting apples
in the Annapolis Valley and working as a welder in the Pictou
Shipyards after graduating from the Agricultural College of Nova

Societé historique acadienne de Pubnico-Ouest and the
