     events. He merely states that they took place after 1879 when he became the 
     
     priest at Miscouche and was responsible for the Mont Carmel mission. Blind 
     
     and retired, Father Poirier was still living in Mont Carmel. He published an 
     
     announcement in the Moniteur Acadien, 23 September 1875, “urgently request- 
     
     ing that any persons having claims against him present them as soon as possible 
     
     in order that he may settle them and that any persons owing him anything 
     
     settle forthwith.” (TR)
