This is an image of Louis St Hilaire and Eliza Paré with their five children. The old photograph is from Lea's albums and she wrote below the names of the children: Alfred, Albert, Helen, Arthur, Agnes but it is not certain exactly who is which child.
Below is the church record of the marriage of Louis St Hilaire and Eliza Paré, the grandparents of Arthur Louis St Hilaire (1918-1996) as well as many other grandchildren. According to the 1910 US census, this couple emigrated in 1892, about eight years after this marriage. One of the stories of Louis St Hilaire and his beloved horse is "embedded" in this post about Cohoes.
