Bertrand and Rita Collin farm 197 Main Street. Where I grew up with my sister, Elaine and 2 brother, Paul and Mark. The home is still there the barn has been torn down. The potato house is still there but has a new roof on it. The apple trees across the road are gone and we build our home there.

Mr. and Mrs. Michel Albert once owned this house . They were married in Ste. Agathe on 24 Oct. 1922 . 11 of their children were born in this house . On 18 April 2012 one of those 11 children Mrs. Rita Albert DeRosby went to visit the house where she was born on 30 April 1938 with her daughter Ann DeRosby Lepage , The first lady of Maine, wife of Governor Paul Lepage .
