Baillairgé, Louis de Gonzague, Quebec. (See sketch of his life,page 252.) Add: The church donated by him to Pointe aux Esquimaux, on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, below Tadoussac, was built towards 1886. The house wherein General Montgomery died, 1st January, 1776, and which still exists, belongs to him, and is on the north side of Louis street, in the vicinity of the City Hall, Quebec. It is built partly of timber and stone, on a lot 20¾ feet in width by 148½ feet in depth, between the houses of Judge Tessier and Michael Collins; is one storey in height with an attic, and is kept in repair from year to year. The room wherein the general died has not been altered. The house is let to a person who sells Indian curiosities to American tourists. Part of the old shingles on the roof were removed and replaced by sheet iron. These shingles were cut into small pieces, labelled and sold to the Americans by the guardian of the City Hall at ten cents each. In the yard still stands an oven which was built by the original proprietor, M. Botherill, who was a baker.
