Henri Camille Margaine

Overview

A questeur of the Chamber of Deputies in 1879–1880. Identification rests on the index of Mon Journal t.13, «Margaine (Henri Camille) homme politique) : 37, 148», and on Marie's «M. Margaine le questeur» (087.0462). Henri Camille Margaine (1829–1893), of Sainte-Menehould (Marne): representative in the National Assembly from 1871, deputy for the arrondissement of Sainte-Menehould from 1876 to 1888, questeur of the Chamber from 1876, then senator for the Marne from 5 January 1888 until his death in Paris on 13 October 1893 (Assemblée nationale, Sycomore fiche «Henri, Camille Margaine»; Sénat, «MARGAINE Henri», anciens sénateurs IIIe République; fr.wikipedia «Camille Margaine»; the two biographies differ on the birth date, 4 September or 4 December 1829). His son Alfred Margaine (born 1870) was deputy for the Marne from 1910 (Sycomore).

Relevance to Marie

• 1879-06-16 (085.0332–0337): during the uproar at the sitting where Cassagnac is excluded, Margaine has the corridors cleared («huissiers, faites sortir le public !») and argues with Janvier de la Motte: «laissez-moi donc faire respecter la loi !».
• 1880-02-12 (087.0462): Marie brings him a note from Dr Krishaber; after «péripéties nombreuses avec Bescherelle, Margaine etc.» she is seated in the ministers' box; «ce Margaine est un homme aimable».
