EspañolLUDGER DUVERNAY
'Ludger Duvernay' (January 22 1799 – November 28 1852) was born in Verchères, Quebec, Canada.
He was a printer by profession and published a number of newspapers including the ''Gazette des Trois-Rivières'', and also ''La Minerve'', which supported the Parti patriote and Louis-Joseph Papineau in the years leading up to the Lower Canada Rebellion. He was arrested by the authorities on four separate occasions.
In 1834 he helped found and lead the ''Association Saint-Jean-Baptiste'' (today, the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society). He was briefly a member of the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada representing Lachenaie in 1837.
He fled to Burlington, Vermont when the Rebellion began, but returned to Montreal in 1842 and resumed publication of ''La Minerve'' until his death, supporting Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine against Papineau.
Ludger Duvernay died in Montreal in 1852 and was interred in the Cimetière Notre-Dame-des-Neiges there.
