(died 9 Feb. 1956 in his 71st year), chiropractor. (Dr E. J. Charlebois) Born at Lisbon, North Dakota. Parents: John H. Charlebois and his wife Emilia or Emilda Levitre. Elmer J. Charlebois came to Alexandria at an early age and attended the local schools. He was a student at the Palmer School of Chiropractic, at Davenport, Iowa, from 31 Dec. 1915 to 8 Jan. 1917. The course of study at the time was 12 months, so it must be assumed on the basis of these dates that he completed the work successfully and graduated. He thereafter practised as a chiropractor in Alexandria for many years. He was probably the first chiropractor in practice in Glengarry, and perhaps the only one during his lifetime. He was married to Elizabeth McPhee, of Carleton Place, Ont., who died in 1918. (one child) He ceased practice as his health failed, and died at his mother’s home in Alexandria. He was highly active as a worker in Alexandria for the Knights of Columbus. He was the brother of Peter A. Charlebois, of Alexandria, and his survivors included also four other brothers who were residents of Minot, North Dakota.
