Caption: Marker detail: Maxime Albert
Additional Description: Maxime Albert, born across the river in Saint-Hilaire, is said to have dealt with Al Capone. He fled to Frenchville but returned to Canada in 1943. Shown above with notorious Fortunat Pelletier (left).

Albert’s Altar: Allegedly, some of Maxime Albert's profits found their way to church, funding an ornate altar for Saint-Hilaire and land for its presbytery (priest's residence). • • • On dit que Maxime Albert, natif de Saint-Hilaire, a fait des affaires avec Al Capone. Il a fui à Frenchville puis est retourné au Canada en 1943. On le voit ci-dessus avec le fameux Fortunat Pelletier (à gauche).

L’Autel d’Albert : on dit que les profits de Maxime Albert prenaient parfois le chemin de l'église, en ornements d'autel à Saint-Hilaire par exemple ou en concession de terrain pour le presbytère.
