Edgar Adélard Caron ^{37,38,39,65,66}

  General Notes:

My memories - from Laurie Caron, granddaughter: My grandfather worked for Northern Electric, now know as Nortel. Northern Electric manufactured and repaired telephones for "Ma Bell" and as a Northern employee, my grandfather was able to purchase discarded and obsolete telephones. (Old phones, boxes, parts that were not repairable were all thrown into bins and the employees bid on them as in an auction). When my parents were cleaning out his house, they found the remnants of his telephone collection. From this they were able to rebuild 2 candlestick phones and one wall, crankstyle, oak box telephone. The candlestick phones predated dialing mechanisms and, therefore, you can only use them for incoming calls by removing the earpiece from its cradle, holding it up to your ear, and speaking directly into the mouthpiece. The same procedure is used for the wall phone. I find it fascinating that these phones, almost 100 year technology, still function today.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Residence, 1911, Robertson Township, Rapide D'original Village, Labelle, Quebec. ⁹
