Dupuis, Fabien
(1856-27 May 1942), merchant. Born at St-Anicet, Que. Parents: Mr and Mrs Lewis Dupuis. Fabien Dupuis was stated at the time of his death to have been a “general merchant at St. Raphael’s for fifty years” and to have “entered the mercantile business at St. Raphael’s” on 24 Dec. 1884. The latter date would establish a period of operation at St. Raphael’s of close to 60 years, but perhaps the 50-year figure relates to the period he was in business on his own. Fabien Dupuis was married in 1892 to Rebecca Caza (1872-1948), of St-Anicet. He died in a Montreal hospital. (nine children, eight surviving him) His son Antoine continued the store after his death. His other children included Dr L.F. Dupuis of Timmins, and Dr A. J. Dupuis of Hawkesbury. Roman Catholic.
