Joseph Arthur Paquet

Joseph-Arthur Paquet (September 5, 1857 – March 29, 1901) was a merchant and political figure in Quebec. He sat for La Salle division in the Senate of Canada from 1898 to 1901.

He was born in Quebec City, and was given control of the business by his parents in 1898, becoming President.

Paquet died in office three years later at the age of 43, predeceasing his father.

After his death, control of the family business passed to his sister Joséphine, his brother Joseph-Octave and Caroline Monier, the wife of his brother Zéphirin, who had been individually disinherited and later attempted to obstruct settlement of the estate.
