Hello Rawdon! I left in 1979 and finally got back for a visit and good look around in May of this year. I was so pleased to find that despite the growth and changes - Rawdon still had that special appeal for me that I always loved. Hope to retire back there some day, it has always been a very special place to me and I have missed it always.

I am living in Australia now. Would love to hear from any old friends that may still be around, will be back for another longer visit in 2010

I have ancestors from Rawdon. Aristide Chevaudier dit Lepine born May 25 1849 and baptised at Parish Marie Reine du Monde. His parents were Apollinaire Chevaudier dit Lepine and Eleonore Beausoleil. The last name may listed as just Lepine. Aristide married Zoe Loiselle in 1877 and moved to Michigan about 1874.
Your website is GREAT! I can't travel to Rawdon, so it is nice to finally know some things about the history.
If anyone has any information on these people, it would kindly be appreciated!!!!

Can anyone help ?
Mary MOORE married (circa 1865) William HARPER from England.

Hi all,
I'm researching the names Burgess, Green and Chalmers in the Rawdon area.
My great grandmother was Alice Louise Adeline Burgess born about 1868 and daughter of (as far as I know) Thomas Burgess and Ellen Chalmers. Thomas was the son of Edward Burgess and Bridget Green who were early residents of Rawdon. Thomas and Ellen seem to have died before 1880.
I visited Rawdon a few times when I was young and have nothing but fond memories of the place.
Email me at KenWHam@yahoo.com if you wish to contact me.

Hotel Manoir Rawdon,Gratten Lake re;Gaston Clouthier 1930-1940

Nous sommes à la recherche d'infos sur l'hôtel Manoir de Rawdon. Durant les années 30, l'hôtel fut opéré par Gaston Clouthier père de six enfants dont Gertrude, Thérèse, Charles, Philippe. Couvent Ste-Anne
Le bâtiment situé sur la rue Queen voisin du mag général Tickler et a eu plusieurs vocation suite au décès de Gaston en 1940.

Toutes personnes qui ont souvenir du personnage haut en couleur, prop d'un champs de cours de chien Lévrier, prop Domaine Gratten Lake ? ou de l'hotel le manoir (bâtiment a été détruit par le feu fin 90- début 2000 selon nos infos.)

SVP entrer en commnunication apaquette@aei.ca

PLEASE tell Andre Paqette to contact Guy David in Rawdon. He still drives taxi there. His father Emile bought the Manoir around that time and changed the name to the manior david.
