The LeMesurier-Ramsey marriage (1916)
Private coll. (Caddell family).
Leonard Burton Ramsey was the maternal grandfather of the present owner of Sunnyside, Andrew Caddell. He married Estelle Hazel, the daughter of William John and Emily Andrews LeMesurier, on July 31, 1916, in Kamouraska.
The wedding was held at Sunnyside. The couple had become engaged in Kamouraska. A strict Presbyterian, the groom’s mother would never have agreed to attend a wedding in the Anglican cathedral Estelle Hazel attended in Québec! Kamouraska was neutral ground for both families.
Around the same time, Leonard Burton Ramsey’s brother, Stuart, married Juliette Pelletier, whose family also owned a home in Kamouraska. Imagine the fun the cousins would have had when they’d meet at Kamouraska every summer!
