Burial/memorial information
Son of Phedime, butcher and baker et Blanche (née Dubuc) Grégoire. In 1915, Phedime, Rosario and brother Willie left Quebec with the prairies as their destination. Phedime worked with a harvest crew in Alberta in 1915. He travelled back to Quebec that same autumn to prepare his family for the move west. In early 1916, the family travelled by train to Winnipeg. They spent the night in the Frontenac Hotel and the next day boarded another train bound for Holland. Here they were met by Rosario. He was survived by brothers Rodolphe, Willie Darcy, Estelle, Dorothee, Laurette and Maurice. Brother Isidore born in 1904 died of appendicitis in 1913. His twin sisters, Jeanne Annette died the day after she was born in 1911 and Rita Yvette died the following year, in 1912. Rosario attended St. Gustave School in Bruxelles, Manitoba. In the summer of 1991, 75 years after the Grégoire family moved to Manitoba, a Grégoire Reunion was held in Somerset for Phedime and Blanche's descendants.
