Family lore has it that Arthur Beaulieu left Quebec at the turn of the century, lured to BC by work on the Canadian National Railway in the Fraser Valley (he travelled by ship, sailing around Cape Horn). Arthur married Susan Everett, who was a First Nations resident of St. Mary's Mission residential school from an early age. Once he was established, Arthur paid his brother Paul's passage to BC, where he married a local resident and settled in the Fraser Valley. One day while sharing a meal at Arthur's home, Paul choked to death on a bone. His grieving widow blamed her sister-in-law, and the two families parted. Unfortunately, the relationship between the Beaulieu families was permanently severed and has not been mended to this day; their relationship has been lost over time. Paul's son Lorne was named for the street in Vancouver where the family lived. Death records for Paul confirm his identity and the Beaulieu family story:

Births, Deaths and Marriages Act, Schedule B, Reg. No. 1909-09-126948, B.C. Archives Microfilm No. B13096, GSU Number 1927124 -death by accidental suffocation, informant Thomas Joseph Caron, Roman Catholic, accidental death, no inquest, died at 157 Lorne St. W.
