Lawrence Edward Mailloux/Mayhew

Today, May 20 in 1907, my granduncle, Lawrence Edward Mailloux/Mayhew was born in Comber, Essex, Ontario, Canada.

When Lawrence Edward Mailloux was born on May 20, 1907, in Essex, Ontario, Canada, his father, Victor, was 42 and his mother, Agnes, was 37. He married Elizabeth Florence Peterson on April 17, 1930, in Comber, Ontario, Canada. They had four children during their marriage. He died on September 12, 1979, in Ontario, Canada, at the age of 72, and was buried in Comber, Ontario, Canada.

I did not know Lawrence very well as I only met him on a few occasions and I don't have specific memories of those meetings nor awareness of who he was as I did not visit my broader family. I likely met him or saw him at Breen Reunions in Comber when I was growing up, and he was almost certainly at my Grandfather's funeral as he was his half-brother.

I know that several people in the group would have known him very well and may have pictures, stories and memories to share on his birthday. Please feel free to add anything to the comments and know that I will capture them and add them for preservation to my files.

A picture of his Obituary from the Windsor Star is attached. Note that Lawrence's Birth Record has his last name as Mailloux. He was a part of the generation that saw the name anglicized and adopted as "Mayhew".
