- History / Biographical
- Charles and Esther Tarantour and their five children emigrated to Canada in 1907 and settled in Montreal. One of the sons, Maurice, took over his brother’s retail business of mens and ladies clothing in Maniwaki in 1928. “The store grew with the town, and Maurice sold dresses, suits, shoes, coats, hats, etc. to the farmers and townspeople.” Maurice married Sylvia Nozik of Cleveland, Ohio and had five children. “The family lived in Maniwaki for several years, then moved to Ottawa for better heritage and educational opportunities.”
