Biography
Dominique Léger was born on 1 Oct 1855 and baptized the next day in Grande-Digue, New Brunswick, the son of Hippolyte Léger and Sophie Poirier.[1][2]
He married Sara LeBlanc 30 Oct 1876 in Memramcook. Groom's parents listed as Hyppolite Léger and Sophie Poirier, residents of Grande-Digue. Bride's parents listed as late Laurent LeBlanc and Marie Léger. A dispensation for 3-4 consanguinity was granted.
He passed away in 1928.[3]
Le père du Sénateur Aurèle Léger, Dominique H. Léger, fut, pour plus de trente ans, encanteur dans le comté de Kent. Il joua le rôle de conseiller de la paroisse civile de Dundas pendant au moins vingt ans ayant été élu, en quelques occasions, par exclamation. De plus, Dominique fut, sur le plan politique, un fervent partisan libéral.
Il fut élu, avec Sylvain Poirier, Thomas Gaudet, Joseph Bourgeois, Armand Hébert et Jacques Gallant, directeur de la Société d'agriculture de Grande-Digue, fondée en décembre 1909.
Il devint co-propriétaire, avec Olivier M. Melanson, de deux homarderies dont l'une à Grande-Digue et l'autre à Cocagne.
La homarderie d'Hyppolite Léger à Grande-Digue lui fut léguée et il devint, plus tard, fournisseur en gros de fruits de mer. Dominique ouvrit une homarderie à Pointe Sapin quelques temps après la Première Guerre mondiale, ayant eu comme associés son fils Aurèle, son neveu Donat Roy et son gendre Sifroi Landry. [Aurèle D. Léger, homme politique et homme du peuple].[4]
