We have this week to record the death of Dr. E.H. LEGERE, M.P.P., which took place at the residence of his father in Cocagne last Monday morn. Deceased was a s/o Hypolite LEGERE, Cocagne (Kent Co.) and was born there 23rd April 1866. He received his elementary education at Cocagne after which he took a course at St. Joseph's College, Memramcook. He then entered the study of medicine at the office of Dr. E.T. GAUDET, Memramcook and afterwards graduated in Medicine and Surgery at Detroit, Michigan, U.S. in 1888. He established himself at Buctouche and soon gained a large practice. The same year he married Miss Elise MICHAUD, niece of Rev. F.X. MICHAUD, Buctouche. Dr. Legere soon turned his attention to politics and in the election of 1890, caused by the elevation of Hon. P.A. Landry in the County Court Bench, he announced himself a candidate in the Conservative interest. An Acadian convention called at Buctouche ratified his candidature and he was elected by a majority of about 400 votes over his opponents Geo. V. McInerney and John Jardine. He was only 24 years of age. He was re-elected at the last general election by a majority of 711 over Oliver J. LeBlanc, Esq. He went to Ottawa at the beginning of the last session, but sickness prevented him from taking his seat and before the session had far advanced he was forced to leave for his home. He was then taken to Cocagne where he contniued to grow steadily worse until his death. His funeral took place yesterday morn.
