327 Doris Lalonde believes Paul died sometime after WWII. Lucille Lalonde believes it was around 1948. His name is not on the tombstone at Mount Hope Cemetery where his wife Mary, son Frank, and his son's wife Alma are buried. Records show he was buried in the family plot (M-71) at Mount Hope Cemetery in Lewiston, ME. but his name is not on the headstone for the plot. The 1940 U.S. Census shows him living at 724 Lisbon St in Lewiston as a widower.

SSI Death Records show a Paul Edward Lalonde, SSN 007221128, with birth date of 2 Aug 1869 and birth place as Cornwall Ont, Canada on a SSA life claim submission. There is a note that states "18 Jun 1976: Name listed as Paul Edward Lalonde". The SSA claim date is 12 Mar 1947 which corresponds to both family interviews. This source and date will be used until more accurate death date, certificate, or death registry can be found.

We were all plenty proud of you."

341 Email from Andre Vermette on 27 May 2013:

Hi Michael. Sorry it took so long to reply.

Then Daniel would be one of Paul's boys? Give my regards to him. He'd be my dad's first cousin, I guess. I never heard of him. Dad mentioned playing with your dad when he was a kid (in Detroit?), but I guess he and Michael weren't in the same neck of the woods.

VR was just short form for "Vermette". On the railway, telegraphists identified themselves usually with two letters in their name. He wasn't a ham operator as such with all the equipment for shortwave and all that. His equipment was simpler, conmsisting of a key ("bug") and sounding board. His specialty was railway Morse, which is slightly different from the international Morse which is used on the ham shortwave.

Of course, telegraphy is hardly in use any more. I think the last commercial telegram in Canada was sent in 1970.

My childhood memories are full of clicketty-clack of the sounding board in dad's office. I even got to recognize the station's call letters when the chief operator was trying to get his attention. I'd go running into the kitchen or living room and tell him they were trying to get a hold of him. There was always something mysterious about the way he sat there making sense of those ..... and -----'s. When you think of it, it was pretty important to the local and national economies, because all the commercial information was transmitted via telegraph. During the war, they controlled all the hardware, ammunition and troop movements. When he was called up for duty, his boss wouldnlt let him go because good operators were scarce and he was filling a "vital function" to the nation. When we lived in small towns in the 1950s, he held a special place because of his functions as station master. He had some fun with it, too. Once, he typed a fake telegram and gave it to the local garbage collector in Windigo. The telegram told him he had just won a free piano, but he had to travel to La Tuque and show up at some nun congregation too pick it up! The whole village was in on the joke, and everybody showed yup at the station. Just as he was about to board the train to go pick up his piano, dad told him it was just a joke!

Dad was very active at the train museum in St-Constant. He gave Morse demonstrations every summer and he and mom travelled to train displays and museums in Canada and the U.S. I kept his telegraph equipment as a souvenir, although I'll probably wind up donating it to the Morse Telepgraph Club, as he wished.

We certainly lost a big piece of the family with his passing. But life goes on, and he will be sorely missed.

Your cousin,

Andre
