Casselman, Ontario




Our next stop is east
of Ottawa.

My great grandfather,
Damase Quenneville, owned
a farm in the Casselman area
in the late 1800s.

This house is beautiful.









No Frills Groceries




This is the second
Ste.-Euphemie Church.
The first was destroyed
by fire in 1897.

theVillage Train Station.




I have to look elsewhere for information on Damase's farm.  The entire village of Casselman burned to the ground in 1897.  

I found information on relatives in Un Peuple Autour de une Croix:  Centenaire de la Paroisse Sainte-Euphemie de Casselman 1886-1986 by Jean-Pierre Perrault at the library.  There's hours of translation ahead...
