Joseph, Émilie, Marguerite and Azilda Labelle.

I’m in the process of writing a post about my Labelle and Périllard ancestors and decided to try to identify the uniform worn by the gentleman in this photo.

This family lived in Québec and Ontario, as well as Vermont on the Périllard side. Could it possibly be attached to Vermont during the civil war? I especially noticed the light colored (perhaps white or yellow) cuffs, collar and pants stripe, as well as the leaf shaped, uneven edged embroidery on both sides of and between the buttons (rather reminiscent of oak leaves).

If you have some information about this uniform, please comment with the information in the comment section below.
