My Grandmother, Madeléine Wilton, née Pepin, was born in Arthabaska in 1902. She was related to Prime MInister Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Sir Wilfrid would walk her to school in the mornings. Cousin Pauline inherited the house from Sir Wilfrid that he owned in Arthabaska. Sir Wilfrid was acclaimed as a mediator as Prime Minister. She sold it to some businessmen who donated it to the province to become a museum. I grew up in Athabasca, Alberta. When Grandma Taffy (her nickname) told us kids that she grew up in Arthabaska, Quebec, we thought she was making this up.
