Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

I wish to convey my condolences to Helen and family. I never had the pleasure of meeting these relatives, but many stories were passed on to me through my mother Leola and uncles on the Langlois side. The aunties & uncles were close to each other in The Pas in early days. Ernie's father & his mother Virginie (Eugine Langlois in French) owned "BACONS TWO BIT FLOP" a rooming house in the beginning of Le Pas, MB (District of Keewatin) early years. The moved later to Winnipeg and owned a rooming House there. Louis & Jean Baptiste Bacon owned four Trading Posts between Cedar Lake & Moose Lake. They were commercial fishermen and the Bacon name is applied to Bacon Lake, Bacon Ridge, Bacon Point. They must be proud of their families accomplishments during their lifetime. Be proud to be connected to this good family whom helped build the beautiful northern province! Take Care & God Bless the family Irene Davie - Posted by: Irene Davie (Great Cousin - Leola Langlois's daughter (Virginie Bacon - nee Langlois was my grandfathers sister)) on: Jan 08, 2019
