Felix Gatineau
Edit ProfileCareer
Gatineau arrived in Southbridge in 1877. Among his many deeds, he was a state representative in Massachusetts in 1906, 1920-1921, and 1927, and led several French-Canadian societies. His written works include L"Histoire des Franco-Américains de Southbridge and L"Historique des Conventions Générales des Canadiens-Français aux Etats-Unis.
A statue was erected in his honor in Southbridge at a fork in a main road.
The Gatineau bust is a local landmark, and often serves as a wayfinder, with locals directing people "Félix to the left" or "Félix to the right.".
