RESEARCH INFORMATION
Son of Louis Hormidas Larocque and Mary Larocque (nee Huard); husband of Edna May Larock (nee Hines) married 1919
Date of Birth declared on Attestation papers was February 20, 1890 but birth record confirms the correct Date of Birth was February 20, 1893
It is not clear when he changed the spelling of his surname from 'Larocque' to 'Larock', but when he joined the U.S. Cavalry in 1913 he used the modified spelling, and continued through his Canadian war service, at his marriage in 1919 and that same spelling was used on his grave marker. Other evidence suggests that the rest of the family did not change the spelling of the family name, except for his sister Edna May who also used the spelling 'Larock'.
Prior service with the 13th Cavalry, United States Army.
Died of phthisis or pulmonary tuberculosis.
69th Battalion Nominal Roll
The Attestation Paper in the Canadian Archives is NOT the original. The original states that Emery attested in Montreal, Quebec on the 20th of August, and that his birth year was 1890, which is incorrect. His birth year is 1893.
