SAVOIE, ROMAIN (he sometimes signedSavoy), office holder, jp, and politician; b. 25 Oct. 1847 in Neguac, N.B., son of Théotime Savoie and Sara Robichaud; m. there 6 Oct. 1873 Elizabeth Breau, and they had five sons and four daughters who survived him; d. there 18 Jan. 1914.

Romain Savoie was a great-grandson of Otho Robichaux*, who led the Acadians in Neguac after the British deportation, and he inherited obvious leadership qualities from him. At the age of 24 he was chosen to be the agent in charge of the 1871 census in Alnwick Parish; thus he became the first Acadian there to enumerate his French-speaking fellow citizens.

Savoie had been given a fairly good education, for the most part in English, but he had a fine grasp of written French. He was appointed a justice of the peace on 15 Jan. 1879 and also became a commissioner of the parish court. These offices he retained until his death in 1914.
