Born in 1840,
the son of
Hyacinthe CHOLET & Angélique ANDRÉ dite ST-AMAND
Pierre & his brother, Toussaint CHOLET & their cousin, Pierre DOUCET were kidnapped in 1845-07-07 by a traveling merchant, who showed his wares to the two mothers. When they didn't purchase anything, he left saying: "You won't forget me." in an angry tone. On the way out of the village, he met the three boys, whom he enticed toward his wagon & pushed them in. Only Pierre survived the adventure that lasted many years.
