Eclair

Uncle Jack and Aunt Libby had a photo of the "Eclair" on their wall.
Uncle Ed's history on the back of the photo stated:

"The Eclair provided service to passengers and also hauled freight on the lakes in southern Quebec. Unknown exact location, near the Great Lakes between Canada and the United States. Captain Gabriel Bergeron had the boat around 1850-1875. The figure on the left top of the boat is Captain Bergeron."

I believe from my research that Captain Bergeron is
Adolphus Bergeron (birth Aug 1848 Hawkesbury, Canada-death Sept 1914 Hawkesbury, Canada). Adolphus is our great grand uncle, brother of George Grover Bergeron (great grandfather to us) that is buried in Los Angeles Calif.

1871 Census Adolphus (24 yrs old) is living in Hawkesbury with spouse Philomen and 3 yr old Adolphus.
George Bergeron in 1871 is 12 years old living in Hawkesbury with parents Gabriel and Clarissa our 2nd great grand parents. They are innkeepers in Hawkesbury. Their married daughter Clarissa is living with them.
1881 Census George and Margaret live in Lonqueil, Canada and are hoteliers. 1 1/2 hour drive from Hawkesbury.
