About Gilbert Buote
Lived 1833 – 1904 (aged 71). Gilbert Buote was a Canadian journalist.
Gilbert Buote (February 20, 1833 – July 16, 1904) was an Acadian educator, publisher and author.
Buote was born in Miscouche, Prince Edward Island. Having obtained a first-class teaching certificate, he began his career at the Tignish village school in 1851. French Acadian factionalism came on the heels of a successful 1891 motion, by Neil McLeod, to incorporate the Roman Catholic Watchman newspaper (named after lighthouse keepers and/or the famed P.E.I. sandhill) into the "Watchman Publishing Company." Watchman editors subsequently endorsed McLeod's variant of the Conservative "amalgamation" narrative, which centered enfranchisement, until the 1901 Scott Act.
He died in Tignish, Prince Edward Island.
