Burchell of this city, and Captain Bernard E. Manseau.
Two years after the death of Dr. Manseau in 1901, Mrs. Manseau and her family came to Lead to reside and a year later she was united in marriage to Telesphore Hirbour, whose death occurred in 1933. Since then she had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. T.J. Burchell and family. In addition to her children she is survived by 12 grandchildren, and several great grandchildren.
