Massachusetts City Directories also list an Edmond Grenier (circa 1883-1956), variably recorded as Armand Grenier, working as a barber in Fall River during the 1920s and 1920s. Also of French-Canadian descent, Grenier wed Rose Beauregard on October 24, 1904, and they had at least three children together.
