From: Vanishing Spaces - Memoirs of Louis Goulet by
Guillaume Charette
...Big Bear had sent a letter to W.J. McLean, the
trader at Fort Pitt (afterwards named Big Bear McLean). McDonald was the
one who wrote the letter and Old Man Dufresne delivered it. McDonald was a
farmer at Cold Lake who got mixed up in the Frog Lake affair because he’d
arrived with Fitzpatrick the night of the massacre. Old Man Dufresne
worked for Tom Quinn at Frog Lake but his family stayed at Fort
Pitt.
Dufresne, Fitzpatrick and McDonald, having been captured, were soon
on their way to Fort Pitt with the rest of us and Big Bear’s band. The
letter sent to McLean with Dufresne called on the trader to climb the river
bank, come to the camp and present himself to Big Bear and his council.
McLean went up the hill as commanded, taking along Francois, the son of Old Man
Dufresne, for an interpreter. The Indians were waiting for him, seated in
a ring.
From: Two Months in the Camp of Big Bear by T. Delaney & T. Gowanlock
A settlement of Metis and non-Aboriginal people emerged at Frog Lake in the early 1880s when John Delaney constructed a house, warehouse and shed. By 1885 the village consisted of an HBC post, the buildings of the Indian agency, a Roman Catholic mission, a store operated by George Dill, and a six-man NWMP detachment. Thomas Quinn was the Indian sub-agent at Frog Lake. He was part Dakota ancestry and he was married to a Cree Woman named Owl Sitting (also known as Jane Quinn after her marriage). Just before the violent outbreak of April 2, and for reasons that remain obscure the NWMP evacuated Frog Lake and went to Fort Pitt. One explanation is that Quinn sent them away, as he was confident that he could command the respect of his charges, and he was concerned that the NWMP could become a target following the events at Duck Lake...Edward Francois Dufresne, Indian Department cook, was another white survivor of that day, and his wife Marguerite Mondion was also brought into the camp. Dufresne was from Quebec and had worked for the HBC for over fifty years. Louis Goulet, Adolphus Nolin, Andre Nault, Pierre Blondin and other Metis were also part of the Plains Cree camp.
From: Frog Lake Massacre by Harold Fryer
...For two days after the battle the Reverend Charles Quinney and his wife, Cameron, Quinn and Dufresne and some of the Metis women travelled north adjacent to, but separated from Big Bear's army. Then, to their gratitude and surprise, on June 1, a Monday morning, Longfellow, the Wood Cree who was in charge, told them they were free. It was a long tramp back to Frenchman's Butte, but towards evening the unmistakable sound of a steam whistle told them they were nearing the North Saskatchewan River. A few hours later they were welcomed by a detail of scouts led by Major Dale, one of General Strange's brigade officers. Later that night at Fort Pitt they sat talking to Strange himself, while the general's private cook treated the ex-prisoners to a meal such as they had only dreamed about for the past two months.
From: Footprints in the Dust by Douglas W. Light
Edward Francois Dufresne Sr. was born at La Prarie, Quebec, in 1805. He worked for the Hudson's Bay company for over fifty years, and after his retirement he still worked part time for the company. He and Cameron were the only two white male survivors of the massacre. Dufresne married Marguerite Mondion. Two of his sons, Francois and Henri, and one daughter, Mrs. Isabelle Pambrun, were all taken prisoner later at Fort Pitt. Dufresne died at Onion Lake, 22 December 1901.
Francois Dufresne Jr. was born at Fort Pitt in 1850; he was the son of Chief Factor John Rowand and Marguerite Mondion, a Metisse. He was raised by Marguerite and Edward Francois Dufresne. His stepfather, stepbrother Henri, and stepsister Mrs. Isidore Pambrun were all prisoners of Big Bear's Band. ...... Dufresne was the son of the famous H.B.Co. Chief Factor John Rowand. His wife, Marguerite Piche, and children, Joseph, Marguerite and Paul also went to the Indian camp.

"Another group knew that if they left it to the authorities it might be a long time until St. Paul (Alberta) would have a railroad. The Chamber of Commerce and other organizations recruited a work force to repair the eroded grades and lay the track to the townsite. October 1920 saw the first locomotive on construction enter the town limits. The first passenger train made its debut October 21, 1920. The following is a partial list of known volunteers who worked to finish the railroad.
- Louis Todd, Farmer [probably son of Donald and Susan Todd of Camrose area]
- Ed Dufresne, Farmer
- Norbert Cardinal, Farmer."....."Another group knew that if they left it to the authorities it might be a long time until St. Paul would have a railroad.

From: Tired of Rambling - A History of Fishing Lake Metis Settlement
Felix Dufresne, born at Elk Point,
March 21, 1903 and baptized at Onion Lake. His father, Joe, was a
surveyor's helper who came from Manitoba with his wife Elize Desjarlais.
Joe originally homesteaded in St. Paul, but later moved when the taxes got too
high. In the early days at Fishing Lake, he said his family used a team of
horses for transportation. His father always worked to earn the groceries
and to pay for the children's schooling. Accepting - and even getting -
government assistance was a last resort for the family. "(Dad) was finally
helped when he got really sick and couldn't work any more."
Felix's Wife was Adeline Dufresne and their
children: Joseph Dufresne, Sara L'Heureux and Francis Dufresne
(WIFE) Adeline Dufresne (Desjarlais)
was born in the Onion Lake area on October 23, 1908, the daughter of Jack
Desjarlais and Isabella Monroe. She married aged 20. "We had two
horses when we got married," she said. She and her husband raised three
boys and a girl. With the youngest strapped on her back, she would work
alongside her husband in the fields. "While he brushed, I piled the
brushing. I was so happy that we were going to earn a cow. Sure enough, we
finished the work and took home the cow."
(THEIR SON) Francis Dufresne, son of Felix Dufresne, he was born
at Onion Lake in 1929. His family had moved to Fishing Lake just at the
time (May 1940) when the first church was being built. "Everybody did his
share of the work. We hauled the wood for the church. If somone did
not help, they put in $10. There was already a school here. We used
to hold mass in it."
My Research:
A sister not mentioned in the above book was
Catherine Dufresne, the daughter of Joseph (Joe) Dufresne and Elize
Desjarlais of Manitoba, sister to Felix, Sara and Joseph Dufresne. She was
born in 1900 and married Calvin Clermont, b. 1900-1970, who was from Tacoma,
Washington, USA in December 1919 in Wainwright AB. Their children
are: Adeline, Irene, Mais, Clara, Florence, Frederick. She died in
1937 at Rocky Mountain House. She spoke mainly Cree. (notes from
