description	<p>In announcing the death in December<br />1897 of Joseph Octave<br />Arsenault, Le Moniteur Acadien of<br />Shediac tried to capture a sense of his<br />significance. Prince Edward Island's<br />first Acadian senator, it declared, had<br />"the honor of contributing to the<br />regeneration of the Acadian people";<br />he had been among those who had<br />"restored the worth of the French<br />name in the Island province." With the<br />death of the veteran politician, pioneer<br />educator and businessman, the<br />Acadian community had lost an important<br />public figure and spokesman. But<br />as Le Moniteur Acadien's words of<br />praise suggest, Arsenaulfs life had<br />acquired a symbolic importance that in<br />the end equalled his actual accomplishments.</p>
