Elmire was the wife of Alexis Beautron-Major, also a native of St-Timothée (Beauharnois). She is listed by several versions of her name on American records. This perhaps represents her attempt at taking the complexities of Quebecois names and adapting them to the American vernacular.

Of note to researchers, her date of birth was inadvertantly filled with her date of death on her death certificate, though the tombstone calculation of her age was entered. We verified the accuracy of her birthdate with the Universite de Montreal's PRDH database. An image of her baptismal entry in the PRDH, including her date of birth, is presented in the photo area of this memorial.
