Patrice Lacombe

Patrice Lacombe (1807-1863), born at the Lake of Two Mountains mission, where his father was a merchant, studied at the Collège de Montréal, where he won prizes for Latin translation and composition, and became a notary in 1830. From 1832 he was the business agent of the Saint-Sulpice seminary, whose vast holdings he managed until his death. His obituaries say only that he encouraged literature: he is known for only one short novel, published anonymously. He died in Montreal.
