Louis TESSIER

Louis A. Tessier, Jr., 89, passed away at his home in Falmouth, Massachusetts, on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016, after having been recently diagnosed with lung cancer, with his wife, Anne, and children at his side... Lou grew up in Dorchester and was a proud 1944 graduate of Boston Latin School, where he lettered in four varsity sports and was elected to Latin's Hall of Fame. He proudly served his country multiple times - during World War II with the Army Air Corps on Okinawa (Japan), during the Korean War as an Army field artillery instructor at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and as a member of the Massachusetts Army Reserve.
Lou graduated from Boston College in 1951 and remained a dedicated alumnus. That same year he married Anne T. Flaherty of Norwood, started a family, and in 1954 moved to Falmouth, where they operated Sherry's, a seasonal restaurant on Main Street. Lou was a draftsman at Kingman Marine in Cataumet, taught high school math and science in Wareham and Bourne, and earned a Master of Education degree from Bridgewater State College. Although he eventually traded teaching for a 20-year career with Prudential Insurance, he remained a strong believer in education, encouraging and supporting his children's academic, athletic and co-curricular pursuits.
In 1961, Lou and Anne purchased the Charlotte Crest Motor Court and began operating it as the Sippewissett Cabins and Campground. Here Lou and Anne permanently settled, making this endeavor their full-time occupation, raising their family, forging bonds with returning guests and hosting many family reunions. Lou loved improving the cabins, surveying the grounds as he traveled on his golf cart, and working the land on his Bobcat. He was deeply committed to the Town of Falmouth serving for many years as a member of the Beach Committee (past Chairman), Chamber of Commerce and AMVETS. In addition, Lou was a Rotarian (past president) and active for many years as a member and past treasurer of the MA Association of Campground Owners (MACO)...

Urbain TESSIER

Urbain TESSIER est recruté par M. Jérôme Le Royer de la Dauversière, durant l'hiver de l'année 1640, en réponse à l'appel de la Compagnie des Cents-Associés, fin de défricher l'île de Montréal. Il est engagé comme scieur de long, pour son habileté à manier le godendart.

''Un habile charpentier alla s'offrir de lui-même
à M. de la Dauversière''
(Réf. E.-M.Faillon, tome II, page 417)

Le 9 mai 1641, deux navires quittent le port de La Rochelle à destination de la Tadoussac, avec à leur bord la majeure partie des futurs colons de Ville-Marie(Montréal). Dans un des vaisseaux a pris place Mr Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve, ainsi qu'un prêtre séculier destiné aux services des Ursulines, et 25 hommes dont Urbain TESSIER. Il accepte un contrat de 5 ans, pour la nouvelle colonie de Montréal.

Le contrat d'engagement d'Urbain TESSIER, d'une durée de 5 ans, prend fin à l'automne 1647, il peut retourner dans son Anjou natal dès le printemps suivant, mais Mr de Maisonneuve lui propose une concession sur l'île de Montréal afin qu'il puisse y bâtir une maison et s'y établir.
