Acadian Cemeteries

Hance Légère's brother's monument. It is composed of a wooden cross with several metal crosses on top. (It was made by Warren Belliveau, 33 years, a young friend of the deceased): Georges L. Légère 1909-1998. His widow celebrated her 100 years in July 2003. She will be buried next to her husand. Hance and George's parents did not want to be buried in Minudie because the land was too wet and the graves filled up with water. But George started taking an interest in the cemetery at Minudie. This cross will be replaced by a permanent monument.

Location: Minudie - St. Denis Church
