Francois (Frank) Xavier Duguay was born in Caraquet, New Brunswick, Canada, on January 16, 1898.  Franks brother, Arthur Duguay, was drafted into the Canadian Army, and died in World War I.  Frank lived in Caraquet until around 1915.  That is around the time of World War I.  Frank, his other brother, Amede Duguay, and his parents moved to Rumford, Maine, to get away of the British drafting into the war.
 
    While in Maine, he met Marguerite Guimond, born on December 23, 1902.  They married in Runford on May 5, 1924.  In Maine, they had two children, Rita, born on March 9, 1925, and Raymond, born on March 11, 1926.  In 1926, the four of them moved to Berlin, New Hampshire, where Frank found a job at the International Paper Company.  In Berlin, they had two other children, Lorraine Duguay, born on July 14, 1927, and Joseph Leo Duguay, born on December 6, 1928.
 
In 1929, the paper mill shut down and Frank and his family moved to Corinth, New York, where he worked for the same company.  Joseph Norman Duguay, their fifth and final child, was born on June 23, 1940.  In Corinth, he was the foreman of the supercalender at the paper mill and also a member of the company’s Quarter Century Club.  The supercalendar was the department that added gloss to paper used in magazines.  His wife, Margarette, died on June 1, 1948, in Corinth.  Frank hired a housekeeper, Jeanne Drolet Potvin, to take care of Joseph Norman and later Frank and Jeanne married in May of 1949.
