Ulysse Paquin
Toronto Daily Star, February 1 1929
Ulysse Paquin (1885-1972) started his adult life as a bank manager before deciding that he would rather sing. He settled in New York for a while in the 1920s and sang in the United States, Quebec, Paris, and New England, among other places.
His biography in the Canadian Encyclopedia ends on a sad note. His wife, the former Luce Chamberland, passed away in 1932; according to the biography, he sharply curtailed his professional activities after her death. He appears to have never married again; if so, he was a widower for over 40 years.
