Historic Photos of Bergeronnes, just east of Tadoussac Grandes-Bergeronnes Late 1800's sawmill on Rivière Beaulieu, with log chutes delivering log. Interesting to see the development in the second photo, with piles of lumber, and a new log chute on the left side. Scierie de la fin des années 1800 sur la rivière Beaulieu, avec des glissières pour acheminer les grumes. Il est intéressant de voir l'évolution sur la deuxième photo, avec des piles de bois et une nouvelle glissière pour les grumes sur le côté gauche. 1900 A new sawmill further down the river, the original mill can be seen on the left, the old church, and before the covered bridge was built. 1900 Une nouvelle scierie plus en aval, la scierie d'origine est visible à gauche, l'ancienne église, et avant la construction du pont couvert. La Presse June 1908 - fortunately this did not happen! ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE The painful events at Notre-Dame de la Salette (April 1908) are about to be repeated in Grandes Bergeronnes, Saguenay County.---A geologist from the Ottawa government arrives at the site and practically condemns the land on which the presbytery and church are built. La Presse, juin 1908 – heureusement, cela ne s'est pas produit ! SUR LE BORD DU PRECPICE Les pénibles événements de Notre-Dame de la Salette (Avril 1908) seraient sur le point de se répéter aux Grandes Ber-geronnes, comté de Saguenay.--Un géologue du gouvernement d'Ottawa se rend sur les lieux et condamne pratiquement le terrain sur lequel sont construits le presbytère et l'église. Since the glacier withdrawal 8000 years ago, Indigenous Canadians spent the summer along the Saint Lawrence River bank in the Bergeronnes territory. 16th to 18th century, First Nations and the Basques hunted seals. 1653, the surrounding territory was conceded to Lord Robert Giffard de Moncel by the governor of New France . Two ovens used to collect grease for lighting were built in the late 16th century. During his visits in 1603 and 1626, Samuel de Champlain refers to two rivers under the names "Bergeronnette" and "Bergeronnes". The name is probably a reference to the height of the bank. Jesuit Evangelist Pierre Laure settled there in 1721. Abandonment of the mission in 1725. In 1730, the Barragory brothers erected a whaling station and built the second oven with triple burner, abandoned in 1773. 1864, a landslide took off a large section of the squatters road (now part of the Morillon hiking trail). 1896, another landslide moved down 500 acres on a two miles length strip of farmland with a dozen houses. The first homes gathered around mills. A first one was built in Petites-Bergeronnes in 1844. A sawmill and a flour mill were erected in 1845, a third mill was built in 1846 at Bon-Désir. In 1856 a road costing $5,391.02 provides a link to Tadoussac to the west and Escoumins to the east. The population reaches 200. In 1852 the first chapel, dedicated to St. Zoe , served a little over thirty families living in the logging or agriculture. This chapel was destroyed in 1858 and rebuilt in 1869. The present church was built in 1912 at a cost of $28,000. The economic crisis of the 1930s led to the closing of wood mills. Dozens of families left the village and accepted offers of the Ministry of Colonization to settle, around 1931, in Sainte-Thérèse-de-Colombier . On December 29, 1999, the village and township were merged again to form the new Municipality of Les Bergeronnes. source Wikipedia Thanks to the great facebook page Amicale de Bergeronnes Depuis le retrait des glaciers il y a 8 000 ans, les Autochtones canadiens passaient l'été sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, sur le territoire des Bergeronnes. Du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle, les Premières Nations et les Basques chassaient le phoque. En 1653, le gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France concéda le territoire environnant à Lord Robert Giffard de Moncel. Deux fours utilisés pour recueillir la graisse servant à l'éclairage ont été construits à la fin du XVIe siècle. L'évangéliste jésuite Pierre Laure s'y est installé en 1721. Abandon de la mission en 1725. En 1730, les frères Barragory ont érigé une station baleinière et construit le deuxième four à triple brûleur, abandonné en 1773. En 1864, un glissement de terrain a emporté une grande partie de la route des squatters (qui fait maintenant partie du sentier de randonnée Morillon). En 1896, un autre glissement de terrain a emporté 500 acres sur une bande de terres agricoles de deux miles de long avec une douzaine de maisons. Lors de ses visites en 1603 et 1626, Samuel de Champlain fait référence à deux rivières sous les noms de « Bergeronnette » et « Bergeronnes ». Le nom fait probablement référence à la hauteur de la berge. Les premières maisons se sont regroupées autour des moulins. Le premier a été construit à Petites-Bergeronnes en 1844. Une scierie et un moulin à farine ont été érigés en 1845, un troisième moulin a été construit en 1846 à Bon-Désir. En 1856, une route coûtant 5 391,02 $ relie Tadoussac à l'ouest et Escoumins à l'est. La population atteint 200 habitants. En 1852, la première chapelle, dédiée à Sainte Zoé, desservait un peu plus de trente familles vivant de l'exploitation forestière ou de l'agriculture. Cette chapelle fut détruite en 1858 et reconstruite en 1869. L'église actuelle fut construite en 1912 au coût de 28 000 $. La crise économique des années 1930 a entraîné la fermeture des scieries. Des dizaines de familles ont quitté le village et ont accepté les offres du ministère de la Colonisation pour s'installer, vers 1931, à Sainte-Thérèse-de-Colombier. Le 29 décembre 1999, le village et le canton ont fusionné à nouveau pour former la nouvelle municipalité des Bergeronnes. source Wikipédia Traduit avec DeepL.com (version gratuite) Merci à la super page facebook Amicale de Bergeronnes 16
- Dewart, The Reverend Russell and Ann (Stevenson)
A descendant of the Russell family, Ann and Russell served in the Tadoussac Chapel for many years Dewart, The Reverend Russell and Ann (Stevenson) A descendant of the Russell family, Ann and Russell served in the Tadoussac Chapel for many years Back to ALL Bios Ann (Stevenson) 1915 - 2008 & the Rev. Russell Dewart 1901 - 1997 Ann de Duplessis Stevenson was born in 1915 at 83 rue d’Auteuil in Quebec City, the daughter of Florence Louisa Maude Russell and Dr James Stevenson. The Stevenson sisters (Margaret, Ann, and Elizabeth) spent their childhood summers in Tadoussac staying at their grandmother's house in the village, the original family cottage Spruce Cliff built by their great-grandfather, Willis Russell in 1861. In 1922, Ann’s father, Dr Stevenson, had their own cottage built for his family in Languedoc Park on land given to them by their cousin, Erie Russell Languedoc. This cottage now remains in Margaret's family and is owned by Margaret's son, Dennis Reilley. In the late 1920s, Dr Stevenson built a second cottage nearby which now remains in Elizabeth's family (the O'Neill house). In 1938, Ann married a Bostonian, Russell Dewart - coincidently her third cousin (Ann was a direct descendant of Willis Russell and Russell was a direct descendant of Willis's brother, William Russell). When one of Russell’s sisters was getting married in Boston, Ann was sent to represent the Canadian branch of the family and was met at the train station by her future husband, Russell. Later, in the 1940s, Ann and Russell Dewart purchased Tivoli, the third Stevenson cottage (now the Dewart house). Tivoli has an interesting history. Shortly after World War I, Erie Languedoc had two square log cabins from the golf course moved on rollers to Tivoli's present location where she joined them together and rented it out. It was then bought from Erie Languedoc by Professor Maclean from Rochester, NY, who named it Tivoli. In 1945, Ann and Russell purchased the cottage from the professor and continued summering there every summer with their six children, Timothy, Alan, Brian, Ted, Beth, and Judy. Many years later, in the mid-1980s, Russell and Ann built their own little chalet across the road from Tivoli. Among Ann's additional pleasures were stimulating and philosophical conversations, exchanging aphorisms, delving into history, reading and writing, brisk walks, and sharing a cup of tea. Ann’s time spent with family at her summer home in Tadoussac was a source of great joy and spiritual renewal. She authored a self-published memoir Nose to the Window which included reflections, poems, letters, and anecdotes of her rich and vibrant life including much history of early Tadoussac and growing up in Quebec City. Russell Dewart, was asked to tell of his life for his 50th college anniversary and part of what Russell wrote is below: “… after getting a delayed degree at Harvard, I took the rather conventional business route of selling everything from rubber boots to investment counselling. The salesman whom my long-suffering wife married turned up a few years later in the pulpit with a round collar, but with few of the other less discernible attributes usually associated with the Ministry. I regard this complete change of direction as one of the many paradoxes of my life and makeup. Having entered the Episcopal Seminary in Cambridge at the age of forty-three it was hard for me to believe that I had spent twenty-three years as a parish priest when I retired (for the first time). While a clergyman’s life can be parochial and unexciting, I have found it a most challenging profession and one that is deeply rewarding. Perhaps the reason I say this is that the greatest joy I find in life is through my relationships with people of all ages and conditions - beginning of course with my own family and friends. The church records tell me that it has been my privilege to be called on to baptize, marry or bury some 1600 souls, and to present another 800 to the Bishop for Confirmation. These occasions for most individuals, as well as other times of tragedy and joy, are crucial and searching experiences. They are times when the clergyman is allowed to share some of the most significant moments in a family’s life together. For him, they provide the unique opportunity to do what he was ordained to do – to walk along with his people as one who serves. Because of this, and for what he himself has learned from them – these times are never forgotten. My entire Ministry has been here in Massachusetts - at Epiphany, Walpole; Grace Church, Chicopee, and St. Peter’s, Beverly. Since retiring in 1967, I have served part-time at the Old North Church in Boston where my father was Rector fifty years ago, and more recently as Interim Pastor at St. John’s, Beverly Farms. Throughout these years I have been blessed beyond measure with the kindness and appreciation of so many people in return for what little I on my own might give. God does work in mysterious ways. Other activities during the past fifty years have centred largely around my family and home. Since the war, we have spent some part of most summers at our cottage in Tadoussac, Quebec – where the Saguenay River joins the St. Lawrence. It is here where my wife came as a child and where we as a family have spent some of our happiest days. Now our children return there with their children and friends – to the place they consider their first home. We acquired our present home here, a small, cosy, New England house built originally by one Jeffrey Thistle, a planter, in 1668. Jeffrey built well but there is enough to keep me busy and happy in caring for his clapboard house and half-acre of land. It is here we expect to live out our days with occasional visits to our six children, and possibly further travel abroad if the spirit moves and the conditions are favourable. But we are quite content to remain where we are. There is a good stack of Vermont hardwood outside for our fireplaces; there are some fish left in the ocean a half-mile away. And we are surrounded by friends. Fortunately, Ann and I still enjoy good health and, most of the time, our sense of humour. We are able to pursue our individual interests and to look forward not to vegetating, but to making the most of what time is left to us in being useful and helpful to others in our own particular way. The Lord has been good to us; our life together has been a full and happy one.” Russell Dewart served faithfully as a summer rector for twenty-one years (1953-1974). He died in 1997 and Ann died eleven years later in 2008. Both are buried in the family plot in Mount Hermon Cemetery, Quebec. Brian Dewart Back to ALL Bios

The Noroua (below) which Dad had bought as a bachelor in the 30's was not a family boat, so he sold it and found this Lower St Lawrence Yawl, probably built about 1900. In the photo above are probably Lew and Anne (bottom right) and Capt Dallaire telling stories. Dans notre famille, les années 50 ont commencé avec un nouveau (vieux) bateau. Le Noroua (ci-dessous) qui papa avait acheté en tant que célibataire dans les années 30 n'était pas un bateau de famille, donc il l'a vendu et il a trouvé ce Bas-St-Laurent Yole, probablement construit vers 1900. Sur la photo ci-dessus sont probablement Lew et Anne (en bas à droite ) et Capt Dallaire raconter des histoires. July 1951 The two boats were together in Tadoussac briefly, and then Dad took the Noroua up river to the buyer in Ottawa. His crew included John Price, our cousin and frequent visitor to Tadoussac.

In 1939 he bought the "Norôua" named after the north-west wind. It was a 25' schooner built in Tancook Island, Nova Scotia. Lewis Evans, mon père, aimait Tadoussac et il aimait les bateaux! En 1939, il acheta le "Norôua" du nom du vent du nord-ouest. C'était une goélette de 25 pieds construite sur l'île Tancook, en Nouvelle-Écosse. These photos are from the LOG of the Noroua, 1939-1950 (some colourized!)

- Price, Sir William & Amelia Blanche (Smith)
Born in Chile, Sir William and his brother Henry came to Canada to run the family's Price Brothers Lumber Price, Sir William & Amelia Blanche (Smith) Born in Chile, Sir William and his brother Henry came to Canada to run the family's Price Brothers Lumber Back to ALL Bios Sir William Price 1867-1924 & Amelia Blanche Carrington (Smith) 1863-1947 William Price was born in Talca Chile to Henry Ferrier Price 1833-1898 and Florence Stoker Rogerson. He was the eldest of seven children, two of whom died in infancy. His surviving siblings were Henry Edward (Harry), Arthur John, Terracita (Terry), and Florence (Flo). Amelia Blanche Carrington Smith was born in Quebec City to Robert Herbert Carrington Smith 1825-1898 and Amelia Jane LeMesurier 1832-1917. She had six brothers and one sister. The three original ‘Price Brothers’ of what would become the Price Brothers Pulp and Paper Company were William Evan, Evan John, and David Edward. All three were bachelors. Having no legitimate heir, they persuaded their brother Henry Ferrier and his family, then living in Chile, to return to Canada. Their eldest son, William, arrived in Canada in 1879. After one semester at Bishop’s College School, he was sent to St Mark’s in England where he completed his studies in 1886 and started his apprenticeship with Price Brothers. In 1899, with the death of the last surviving ‘Price Brother’, he became sole proprietor, president and managing director of the family business. William inherited a tottering empire, heavily indebted, technically in receivership -- more one of potential than actual wealth. In the first decade of the 20th century, William planned and built a large newsprint mill in the town of Kenogami. The Kenogami Mill, the most productive newsprint mill in the world at that time, began operations in 1912. William associated with James Buchanan Duke, the legendary North Carolina tobacco tycoon and Max Aitken (Lord Beaverbrook), helped with financing for the Kenogami Mill and the development of hydroelectric power with the Ille Maligne Dam and Power Plant in which he and Duke were partners. In 1884 William married Amelia Blanche Smith at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Quebec City. Three years his senior and a celebrated beauty, she would bear him eight children. The surviving six were John (Jack), Arthur Clifford (Coosie), Charles Edward, Willa (Glassco), Richard Harcourt (Dick) and Jean (Harvey). On August 7, 1914, William was asked, by the minister of the Militia, to build, in twenty days, a camp where troops could be assembled and trained. William shut down his establishments, moved his workforce to Valcartier, and built the camp on schedule. Quebec had been selected as the port of embarkation for the Canadian Expeditionary Force and William was appointed Director General of Embarkation. William was not a soldier. He had, however, joined Quebec’s militia 8th Royal Rifles and risen to Captain when he resigned in 1903. For his contribution to the War effort, William was knighted by King George V on January 1, 1915. On October 2nd, 1924, Sir William was taken down by a landslide on the Au Sable River behind the Kenogami Mill. His body was found ten days later in the Saguenay River at St. Fulgence. His grave lies at the end of Price Park in Kenogami on the point of a high cliff overlooking the confluence of the Au Sable and Saguenay Rivers where he lost his life. He would be pleased that the focus of the Sir William Price Museum in Kenogami is on the employees of the Company. He deeply appreciated their loyalty and work skills and touched their lives in ways their descendants remember fondly to this day. Sir William was foremost a family man, a patriot, an industrial visionary and a builder; amongst them, it is difficult to say which stood first. His wife did not share his fascination for a remote, largely wilderness area and his love of the outdoors and rarely came to the Saguenay/Lac St-Jean region. Nevertheless, he was a loving and inspirational father and nobody who knew him mentioned his name without talking of his affection for children. Along with his business, war efforts, political activities and sports William was President of the Quebec Harbour Commission in 1912 and Director of many companies including Union Bank, the Canadian General Electric Company, the Wayagamack Pulp and Paper Company Ltd., The Montreal Trust Company, The Quebec Railway, Light and Power Co., The Transcontinental Railway and the Prudential Trust Company. William’s first mention of Tadoussac is in a letter written during the summer of 1880 to his parents who were still in Chile. He tells of happy days spent in a canoe in the bay fishing for Tommy cod, perhaps hinting at the renowned salmon fisherman he would become. He did not spend much time in Tadoussac but he did acquire Fletcher Cottage, a lifelong source of pleasure for his wife. He also bought the Pilot House and the Harry Price House, which he gave to Harry for his family and as a place for their sister Terry to spend her summers. After Sir William’s untimely death Blanche moved from 145 Grande Allee to Ave de Bernier in Quebec City where she lived until her death in 1947. She was fortunate in her companion, Muriel Hudspeth, daughter of Dean Evans and his first wife. We are told Blanche was handsome and charming and though her memory faded her charm did not. During summers in Fletcher Cottage, her sister Edith (Edie) and brother Edmond were with her. Also in residence for the summer were many grandchildren - ten or more at times. By then she remembered only ‘long ago stories’ yet continued to extend a warm welcome and to look most elegant, dressed in black as she had since the death of her husband. She is buried in Mount Hermon Cemetery in Quebec City.
