This is his obituary (hopefully you can read French, I cannot)

Hi Julie

Welcome to History Hub

It appears that Mary's family chose to bury her using the Hennessey name and not Belanger.

See graves below  at findagrave.com

Ferdinand Belanger (1864-1909) - Find A Grave Memorial

Ferdinand and Mary had a short marriage of only 5 years before his death in 1909 hence

she is listed as a widow in the  1910 census

Hope this helps
