Edouard was born in St. Lazare, Manitoba on February 28, 1896. The family moved to Goodeve, Saskatchewan when Edouard was a child, and in 1918 he was drafted into the army. He was stationed in Regina and Moose Jaw, but was discharged before going overseas because he was his parents’ only child. Upon returning to Goodeve, he married Martha McDougall.
