Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm not a Christmas person, even though my last name is Christmas! Given the meaning of the name, though, I felt one of these pages needed a Christmas feel. And so the honor goes to my 5ème grand-père & mère, Charles & Theotiste!
Be forewarned; this page is a bit lengthy. Lots of children and grandchildren!Charles Noël was born to Antoine NOËL and Agnes GOULET on 31 March 1790 at St. Pierre, Île d'Orléans, Québec.1
Charles married Theotiste Felicite Champoux on 11 August 1818 in Trois-Rivieres, Québec.1,2 Theotiste was born 16 November 1798 in Yamachiche, Quebec; the daughter of Louis CHAMPOUX & Theotiste RIVARD.1,2
Charles was a stone mason by trade. Charles and Theotiste appear, for a time, to have settled in Trois Rivières. It is unknown when the family left that area. The website "A Brief History of Lacolle, Quebec", tells of a contract that was signed with Charles Noel to build a stone church in Lacolle in July of 1842; the same year that his eldest son, Joseph, was married in the same community.Theotiste Champoux died 11 January 1843. She was buried at St. Valentin, Lacolle.1
Charles Noël died 18 April 1873 in Williamstown of "old age." His death record claims he was buried in Adams, Massachusetts.4Charles Noel and Theotiste Chamoux had the following ten children:
Joseph Noël Joseph was the oldest child of Charles and Theotiste. He was born in Trois-Rivières 8 August 1819; he was baptized the same day at the Immaculee Conception Church. His marriage to Elisabeth Carpentier took place 11 January 1842 in Lacolle, at St. Valentin.1
Elisabeth, or Marie Isabelle Carpentier as her baptism record reads, was born 6 November 1820 in L'Acadie, Quebec; she was baptized the same day at Ste. Marguerite de Blairfindie in the same town. Her parents were Laurent & Marie Elisabeth Aucoin.1.
Joseph supported his family as a brick mason.1,3The 1851 census of Lacolle shows Joseph and Elisabeth on 3/4 acre of land, most of which was under cultivation as garden or orchard. There was 1/2 acre of oats planted which produced 10 bushels; 1/4 acre of potatoes planted which produced 6 bushels; and one bushel of beans was produced. They owned one horse and 1 sheep. Joseph worked as a mason at this time, which meant the family had to have been doing most of the farm chores. The family lived in Rutland, Vermont in 1870 and by 1880 seemed to be settled in North Adams.3
Elisabeth Carpentier died 26 February 1893 in North Adams of "old age". She was buried in Eastlawn Cemetery, Williamstown two days later. Joseph Noel died 12 July 1896 at home on Fuller Street in North Adams, also of "old age". The North Adams Transcript reported a record heat wave was occurring at that time. He was buried two days later in Eastlawn with his wife. They are in the Cloverleaf section of the cemetery.5,8,11Joseph and Elisabeth had the following twelve children:
David- Born 3 October 1842 in Lacolle and baptized the same day at St. Valentin.1,3 David married a woman named Julie. Although I have been given 29 July 1868, Williamstown, Berkshire Co, Massachusetts as a date and place of this event, I cannot locate the record in the New England Genealogical Society records. If anyone has any more information about this event, I'd really appreciate the help!
David was also a stone mason in the family tradition. David Noel died on 29 July 1881 in Williamstown of phthisis, which is a wasting disease that can involve all or part of the body, such as may occur with tuberculosis.4,14One of Napoleon's sisters eventually moved to Alaska and gifted her sister-in-law with a pin made of a pair of gold nuggets to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Elizabeth and Napoleon's marriage.11
- Bertha Josephine- Born about 1874 in Sheffield, Connecticut. Bertha married Alfred Henri Chayer, son of Joseph & Louise Fortier on 20 August 1901 in Williamstown. Alfred had been born 31 May 1867 in Jeffersonville, Vermont.10 They had no children. Bertha died 16 September 1934 in Burlington, Chittenden Co, Vermont from a crushed skull sustained in an auto accident.10 Alfred died 18 February 1954 in Burlington from arteriosclerotic heart disease. He was buried two days later.10 The couple is buried in Eastlawn Cemetery, Williamstown, with Bertha's parents.5
Napoleon Baron died 13 September 1925 in Burlington from arteriosclerosis secondary to angina pectoris. He was buried in Eastlawn Cemetery.5,10 Elizabeth Noel died during the holiday season on 27 December 1932 in Burlington. Her cause of death was also arteriosclerosis, secondary to Bright's Disease.5,10Marie Emma Noël died 2 March 1895 in North Adams of consumption.8 Charles Noël died sometime after 1930, as he appears in the 1920 census in the household of his son George, but cannot be located in 1930.3
- Louis- Born September 1873 in Massachusetts.3. Louis married Sarah Henderson on 16 August 1899 in North Adams, Berkshire Co, Massachusetts. She was a native of Busbee, Scotland; born there March 1873 to James & Mary Winesing.3,7 She was a member of the Congregational Church in Adams.15 Their son, Louis Howard, was born in 1907. After that, this couple seems to have dropped out of sight. Their son is listed in subsequent census records in the household of his aunt Mary Henderson.3
- George Harry- Born 28 September 1877 in North Adams. As an adult, he was of medium height/weight and had dark hair and eyes.16 He married Margaret Celia Flaherty 27 June 1910 in North Adams. She was the daughter of John & Katherine Finnegan, born to them about 1877 in North Adams.7 George operated Noel's Lunch Cart as well as working at Hoosac Company.3,16 George and Margaret had three known children; John Francis, Charles F. and Catherine Marie. The couple's death details are unknown.
- Francis J.- Born 28 December 1879 in Massachusetts. As an adult, he was of medium height and slender build with blue eyes and dark brown hair.16 He married Eleanor Browne (who was known as Nellie) on 18 April 1910 in North Adams. Her parents were John & Catherine Driscoll; she had been born about 1878 in Massachusetts.7 Francis ran a successful restaurant for a number of years and is featured in the Independent Businessmen section of the website. Francis died sometime before 1936; his widow continued to run the business for several years.17 Eleanor's date of death is unknown.
- Cora- Born about 1881 and died 25 September 1897 in North Adams of inflammation of the lungs.4
- Eva- Born 13 June 1883 in North Adams. She married Alfred Charpentier 27 January 1909 in Adams. He was the son of Godfoi & Leas LeDuc.4
- Charles- Born June 1885 and died 30 July 1886 in North Adams of whooping cough.
François Cutbert Noël
Nothing is known about this second-born child of Charles and Theotiste.
Narcisse, as he was called, was born 21 August 1825 in Trois Rivières; the fifth child of Charles and Theotiste. He had some education, evidenced by his signature on his childrens' baptismal acts.1
Weddings and Babies and Road Trips
Because three of Narcisse's brothers were married in Lacolle, it seemed sensible to search for Narcisse's marriage record in the same place.
The first thing that was found in Lacolle's records was an entry for the baptism of one Charles Narcisse, "Ill." (abbreviation for "Illegitimate"). This event occurs on 24 June 1845, the day after the child was born. The godparents are listed as Charles Noel and Isabelle Lecouin. The parents are referred to only as "parents incommons"; no names listed. The entry also refers the researcher to "page 18". Upon finding page 18, we find listed the marriage of Charles Narcisse's parents on 4 November 1845. They are none other than Narcisse Noel and Marie Julie Carpentier--sister of Joseph's wife Elisabeth and daughter of Isabelle Aucouin . And in the marriage record there is a notation cross referencing back to the baptismal record of Charles Narcisse.1
So, from these records, one would reasonably deduce that Narcisse Noel and Marie Julie Carpentier had an illegitimate son and waited 5 months to get married. But why? Did Narcisse have cold feet, run away, and have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the alter? Did he doubt the baby was his? Were one or both sets of parents against the union? The latter would be a bit unusual, since there already existed a bond between the families with the marriage of Joseph and Elisabeth.
Coopersville is a small town in Clinton County, New York, about 20 miles south of Lacolle. In the records for that town, in the parish of St. Joseph de Corbeau, there is a marriage for Narcisse Noel (son of Charles Noel and Theotiste Champous) and Julie Carpentier (daughter of Laurent Carpentier and Isabelle Lequoin). The date of this event? 27 October 1844--eight months prior to their child's birth.1 I'm not sure that the couple knew they were expecting at the time of this marriage--this was an era well before rabbit tests, blood tests, and home pregnancy tests.
I do not know why Narcisse and Julie went to New York to get married. An elopement? But why? Julie, who was born in 1823, was certainly old enough to give her own consent. I also have no idea why their child was listed as illegitimate in the Canadian records; St. Joseph de Corbeau seemed to be a Catholic church. Is that why they had another wedding ceremony in Lacolle? Lots of unanswered questions.....
The census of 1851 saw Narcisse and Julie living in St. Bernard de Lacolle in a one-story log house with their little family. Young Narcisse and Auguste were attending school. Narcisse was a mason by trade. The Agriculture Census for the family shows that there was 1/4 acre under crops that year and 1/4 acre used as "garden or orchard". Their 1/4 acre of planted potatoes produced 8 bushels. They had 4 tons of hay, 20 pounds of flax or hemp, and 8 pounds of wool. Their neighbors were Laurent Carpentier/Isabelle Lecouin (Julie's parents), Joseph Noel/Elisabeth Carpentier (Narcisse's brother and Julie's sister), and Alexandre Noel and Celeste Menard--whose daughter, Justine, was married to Pierre Noël, a younger brother of Narcisse.3
By 1857, the family is living at Asbestos, Quebec--a small town located in the center of a triangle comprised of Montreal, Sherbrooke, and Quebec City. The town's name was derived from the large deposits of asbestos that were found there. Narcisse and Julie became innkeepers in Asbestos.18
The 1901 Census of Asbestos finds Narcisse and Julie alive and well. They appear to have a grandson living with them by the name of Frank Noel. There is also another person living there with the last name Carpenter; the first name nor the relationship is able to be deciphered.3
Narcisse Noel died 19 August 1904 in Asbestos. He was buried 24 August in Asbestos. It is not known when or where Marie Julie Carpentier died.1In addition to Charles Narcisse, Narcisse and Julie had the following children:
Marie Zoe Noël
The sixth child born to Charles and Theotiste; nothing else known.
Pierre Noel was born about 1831 in Trois-Rivières; the seventh child of Charles and Theotiste. Pierre married Justine (Guestine) Noël on January 16, 1849 in Lacolle. Justine was born 15 August, 1833 in St. Valentin, Lacolle, the daughter of Alexandre Noel and Flavie Beausoleil.1,3
Pierre and Justine immigrated to the U.S sometime between 1864 and 1866, according to the birth dates/places of their last two children. Like most of the men in his family, Pierre was a stone mason by trade; some examples of the work he did around Williamstown can be found in the "Stone Masons" section on this website. He was also involved in this church project.
Pierre suffered a cerebral hemhorrage on 5 January 1896 and died in Williamstown. Twenty-four days later, on 29 January 1896, at 10:20 AM, Justine succumbed to asthmatic croup in Williamstown. Both are buried in Williamstown's Eastlawn Cemetery in the cloverleaf section.4,5,11The children and grandchildren of Pierre and Justine Noel led some of the most interesting and diverse lives in the Noel family:
Cassimere and Odile were parents to the following children, all born in Williamstown:Cassimere Noel had tumors removed in September of 1898 and January of 1899. Although he was able to go back to work a week after the latter surgical procedure, he would not maintain such robust health. The tumors were cancer; and Cassimere succumbed to the disease on 21 August 1899 in Williamstown and was buried two days later in Eastlawn Cemetery. Odile's last years were spent enjoying visits from her grandchildren, where they were either climbing trees or climbing ladders to the roof of the house and then jumping off the roof. A passerby once saw all the children in the tree at the same time and remarked that it looked like a monkey tree! Odile Hinkle died 28 May 1924 in Holyoke, at the home of her daughter Clara. She was buried in Eastlawn Cemetery with Cassimere two days later. 4,5,19
- Victor M.- Born 8 August 1872. Victor was not named at the time of his birth.4 Victor was one of our family's independent businessmen. Victor relocated to New York City sometime in 1898.11 In 1900, he was reported to have gone to South America to remain for an indefinite period of time on real estate business.11 In May of 1900, Victor was reported to be in the Army in the heavy artillery division stationed in Havana, Cuba during the Spanish-American War.11,16 On 9 September 1907, Victor married Louise Joncas from Berthier, Québec.20. Their daughter, Marie Madeleine Odile Noël, was baptized in St. Roch, Québec on 8 May 1908; the birth information is illegible.1 The 1930 census enumerates Victor in Springfield with his brother Henry; his wife is living in New York City with their daughter.3 Victor was buried in Eastlawn Cemetery in Williamstown on 13 July 1936. He is buried with his parents; the next of kin on his cemetery card is Father Dudley. His wife was alive in 1945; she crossed the border from Canada to the U.S. at Detroit, Michigan. Her home address was St. Valier, Québec and the border paperwork states that she receives a pension from the U.S. government by way of her husband Victor.20 The death details of Louise Joncas are not known.
- Clara W.- Born 8 July 1874.4 Clara attended St. Anne's Convent School in Lachine, Quebec; she was also employed for a time at Christie & Co. in Williamstown--this seemed to have been a department store of some sort.11 Clara married Arthur Gingras, a shoe salesman, on 6 June 1904 in Holyoke, Hampden Co, Massachusetts.4 Their children were:

- Albert Dupuis- Born 28 October 1898 in Williamstown and twin to Solomon Hebert.4 Albert married Mildred May Barnhardt on 22 February 1925 in Bennington, Vermont.25 The only Albert Noel that can be located in the 1930 census is an Albert D. Noel incarcerated in the Windsor, Vermont State Prison. The ages, place of birth and parents' places of birth all match this Albert, but I don't know for sure if it is the same person. At some point, he married Alice Hover; date/place of event is not known. She was the daughter of William F. & Flora Cotton, born 8 July 1901 in Shaftsbury, Vermont.25 Albert was a foreman at the Union Underwear Company.

This marked the beginning of some very hard times for Edgar. In 1898 Edgar made the difficult decision to put his children in convent school in Worcester, Massachusetts. No family members were willing to take the three of them together and he did not want them separated. Edgar was foreman of West's Livery stable in February of 1899, but lost that position due to extending the length of a scheduled visit with his children, as one of them was ill. Luckily, he secured a similar position at Greylock Livery Stable.11 Edgar married Adeline L'Esperance on 28 November 1900 at South Hadley Falls, Hampden Co, Massachusetts. She was born about 1872 to Doucite and Emelie Noel.7,11 They had no children. Edgar Noel died in January 1944 and was buried in Eastlawn Cemetery with his first wife Lucy.5 Nothing else is known about Adeline L'Esperance.Jean Baptiste Cutbert, known to everyone as Albert, was born 28 March 1832 in Trois-Rivières, the eighth child of Charles and Theotiste.26 On 23 April 1855, Albert married Euphemie Borgenon in Napierville, Quebec at St. Cyprien.1 Euphemie (often called Phebe) is the daughter of Nicolas Borgenon and Louise Giguere, born on 10 March 1831 in Lacolle.26
It is believed that the couple came to America from Canada about 1865. Albert was one of the family stone masons as well as helping to build a church.
