FRANÇAIS
Dans le cimetière de Saint-Timothée on trouve quelques monuments spéciaux dont un Chemin de Croix à 14 stations. un monument en zinc et un très bel obélisque d'environ vingt pieds.

Ce monument funéraire est quand même plus gros que les autres. Narcisse Papineau fut un marchand prospère à Saint-Timothée et époux de Marie-Marguerite-Adèle Gaucher. Leur fils, Louis-Joseph Papineau (1861-1932) fut député libéral fédéral pendant de nombreuses années entre 1908 et 1931.

Sur une seule des 4 faces de la base de cet obélisque se trouve du texte et il est le suivant :

À LA MÉMOIRE
DE
NARCISSE PAPINEAU
NÉ LE 28 NOVEMBRE 1828
DÉCÉDÉ LE 2 NOVEMBRE 1910
RIP
PAPINEAU
