Samuel Perrier collection

  • CA RBD MSG-364
  • Collection
  • 1879 - 1914

The collection consists of 38 letters written by a small group of French Canadian Protestant friends living in the villages of St. Philippe, Grande Ligne, and Ste. Philomène in southern Quebec, as well as in the city of Montreal. Among the letters are those by Samuel Perrier, a Quebec farmer and dedicated letter writer, primarily addressed to his future wife, Eugenie Molleur (1862–1948), and to one of his daughters, Aline, who attended L'Institut Méthodiste Français.

These letters provide a vivid depiction of the challenging rural life faced by Quebec farmers, highlighting issues such as fatigue, poor crop yields, a shortage of farm labour, harsh winters, health struggles, and local news. They also reflect the parents' determination to improve their children's futures by sending them to school to learn English, accounting, music, and teaching. The collection additionally includes a small selection of poems and songs.
