Snowshoeing on the South Shore
On March 6, 1900 Ubalde Longtin travelled by sled with his father from his home in Saint Constant nine miles to a notary`s office in St. Remi on the South Shore to deal with some official documents. The wind and snow started whipping up and dad realized it would be wise to stick around the office until the weather calmed. Ubalde, however, wanted to see his wife and kids so he trekked back on snowshoes. His ended up walking in circles and dying of cold, snowshoes laid out carefully next to his body in a field not far from where he started. His body was only discovered about one month later.
