Description: Charles-Gédéon Giasson et Agathe McComber, de Kahnawake. Charles-Giasson and Agathe McComber married in 1832. They lived in Kahnawake and had many children including Léon-Trefflé Akiohanes Giasson and Napoléon-Antoine Giasson. The first married Agnès Brault in 1886 and the second married Marguerite Meunier dite Lafleur in 1875. Agathe McComber died in 1889 at the age of eighty-one. Interestingly, the attorney hired by the Giasson family to prevent their planned eviction in the late 1800s was Albert-Emmanuel de Lorimier, a son of controversial George de Lorimier (see other pictures). Albert-E. de Lorimier eventually obtained for the Giasson's their right to remain in Kahnawake.
