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.[1]
He was born in Quebec City,[1] the son of Zéphirin Paquet and Marie-Louise Hamel. He worked in the family retail and fur processing business[2] and was given control of the business by his parents in 1898. Paquet died in office three years later at the age of 43, predeceasing his father.[3]
After his death, control of the family business, now known as Compagnie Paquet Limitée, passed to his sister Joséphine, his brother Joseph-Octave and Caroline Monier, the wife of his brother Zéphirin.[3]
