Joseph Bourque
Joseph Bourque (1852 – December 23, 1918) was a building contractor and politician in Quebec.[1] He served as mayor of Hull from 1914 to 1916.[2]
The son of Louis Bourg and Josephte Marsan dit Lapierre,[2] he was born in L'Assomption, Quebec. He came to Hull in 1889 to finish the interiors of the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Church and presbytery; the original buildings were destroyed by fire in the previous year. Bourque moved his family to Hull in the same year. He built a number of public buildings, churches and schools in Hull and other places in Canada, including a courthouse in Hull and the École des hautes études commerciales in Montreal, Quebec. He also worked on the expansion of the public water works in Hull and operated a door and window factory. The residence that he built for his family in Hull is considered a heritage building.[1] He served on the Hull municipal council from 1903 to 1907 and from 1909 to 1911.[2]
Bourque was married twice: first to Henriette Charland and then to Clara Fortier.[1]
He died of a heart attack in 1918.[1]
