Born in 1861 ° Lomer Gouin was known as a strong, silent man, Possibly he learn- ed control of his feelings when he was a boy, His upbringing was total- ench-Canadian lad, He was born at Grondines, Que., on March 19, 1861, the son of J. N. Gouin, M.D, and Victoire Seraphine (Fugere) Gouin. His father died when he was a you! and he was adopted by an uncle who had married an English woman an: who lived in a sort of mafior-house, and conducted himself like an old Tory squire, Silence by everybody but the squire was the predominant feature of the establishment. When anybody had anything to say, a state. ment grew in merit in the squire's eyes in exact proportion to its bre- vity. After having followed his studies at Sorel College and Laval University, Gouin. came to Montreal, where he took up the profession of law. He was . associated 'successfully with Judge Pagnuelo and Hon, L. O. Tail- on, a former Premier of the Prov- ince, and Hon. Raymond Prefontaine and Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux, the last two prominent in Federal politics. His ascent at the Bar was steady. He was elected Batonnier-General of the Provincial Bar in 1910, and went to the top of the ladder, finally be- coming Minister of Justice for the Dominion. Official Tribune Ottawa, March 30. -- A profound impression was created here by the tragic news from Quebec City of the sudden death of Sir Lomer Gouin, Lieutenant-Governor of the province, just previous to his official closing of the present session of the Legislature. Hon. Ernest Lapointe, minister of justice and acting prime minister of Canada, paid the following tribute to Sir Lomer: "The death of Sir Lomer Gouin opens a large gap in Canadian public life. It is truly a national loss. For 35 years his name has been linked with the highest and most important functions. ; "His life has been one of brilliant, honorable and useful service. In nurh- erous fields of action he has asserted a strong, vigorous and active person- ality, and it seems tobe a fitting and pathetic culmination of a noble career that death should have come to him in the Legislative Buildings of Que- bec; in the very theatre of his great. est works. 1 Sincere Sympathy "On behalf of the Government of Canada, and more particularly of Sir Lomer's former colleagues, I offer to | Lady Gouin, to the bereaved family and to the people of the Province of Quebec our very deep and i sympathy."
