Edmond and Alice Brodeur 

 The History of Cheshire Street and Vicinity

In 1971, Edmond E. Brodeur and his wife, Alice S. Rouleau Brodeur, published a 51-page historical booklet titled The History of Cheshire Street and Vicinity, 1694–1971. Though modest in size, the publication became an important resource for documenting the history of northeastern Cheshire and neighboring sections of the Quinnipiac River valley before significant suburban development altered the area.
