It was the depression, and they had very little except love for one another, when Ernest Noel and Jeanne Boivin got married. They lived on a quarter section that they wanted to buy but money was short. There was barely enough to live on, never mind pay interest on the loan or to pay down the principle. The option they chose was for Ernest to become a farm manager for land owners who lived in town, and did not have time to be farmers. They had seven children during the time they lived in the St. Paul area. Jean-Marie, Pierretta, Rosalie, Anne, Sylvio, David, and Maurice.
