GENERATION VII

Philip-Hilaire⁷ Rémillard; Guillaume¹, Francois², Francois³, Joseph-Marie⁴, Francois-Hyacinthe⁵; Hilaire⁶; (Hilaire and Marie-Reine Boule); he was born 18 December 1834 at St-Valentin, Quebec; he died 26 March 1902, Alameda County, California; married 1866/68 at San Francisco to Eveline Levoy. At the age of nineteen, he went to Boston where he learned brick making. He remained at Boston from 1852 to 1854 before heading west to San Francisco by the “Nicaragua Route” through the Isthmus of Panama where he arrived on February 17, 1854. He first went to the mining areas in Nevada where he remained until 1860. He made some money in and around Auburn, California and then went to Oakland. He became interested in what was called the “Idaho excitement” and went there until 1862 when he returned to East Oakland. By 1864, he was involved in brick making in a very modest way and the business soon expanded as the Remillard Brick Company and became the largest of its kind in the western United States. In 1878, he purchased a block at the corner of Adeline and Forty-Second Street, where the Remillard family home remained until about 1883 when his widowed mother erected a beautiful home at Number 999 Forty-Third Street.
