           DESIRE FILION, Postmaster, merchant, and farmer on section 24,
        Meade Township, residing at Filion, was born in St. Therese, Pro-
        vince of Quebec, Sept. 15, 1844.  His parents, MOSES and ANGELINE
        (DESJARDINES) FILION, were born in Canada, of French ancestry.  MR.
        FILION obtained a good education at the public schools of Canada,
        and remained in the Dominion until 1861, when he located in Hume
        Township, Huron County. He resided there about 10 years. In 1869 he
        homesteaded 160 acres in Meade Township, which has since been his
        place of residence. He has added to his acreage by later purchases,
        until he owns 160 acres in Meade Township, 80 acres in Hume Town-
        ship and 80 acres in the township of Lincoln.  He has placed about
        40 acres under improvement.
           In political belief and action MR. FILION is a decided Prohibi-
        tionist. In 1876 he was appointed Postmaster at Filion, and in 1878
        established a mercantile business, in which he has met with reason-
        able success. He is the present Treasurer of Lincoln Township.
        (Filion is situated on the boundary line between Meade and Lincoln
        Townships.) He has been Clerk of the last named several years, and
        is a member of the order known as the A. B. A.  He belongs to the
        Protestant Methodist Church.
