Back of Card reads: THE LEGEND OF MARGUERITE
Marguerite's father wanted her to marry an old wealthy gentleman, but she eloped with Paul, a tall, dark and handsome worker on her father's large farm. She was disowned. Today, with the moon just right you can see Marguerite's sad but beautiful face smile up at you in the border river between N.B. and N.S. that once bore her name. The river is now caled the Missaquash.
