Biographical/Historical note
Marie Louise Laviolette was a member of the Pembroke College class of 1905. Little is known of Laviolette except that she lived at 125 Governor Street in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, while she attended Pembroke. Gene and Patricia Forte discovered Laviolette’s papers in their home in 2018. Laviolette was not a member of the Forte family and they could not identify any living family members so they mailed the materials to the Pembroke Center Archives for enduring use.Access & Use
