Alcime Daigle was born around 1852. His father, Raymond, was a grandson of Jean Baptiste Daigle, who had come to the St. John Valley as a young man, possibly with the first contingent of Acadians that arrived in the mid-1780s. Alcime's mother, Léonore Martin, was also of Acadian descent.

Alcime married Marie Violette, daughter of Simon Violette and Zoé Boutot or Thiboutot, in Fort Kent in 1889. The Violettes had come to North America fairly late in the colonial period and played a key role in the development of Van Buren. Alcime was approximately 37 years old at the time of his wedding. It appears he and Marie never had children of their own, but, after the premature death of Marie's sister Isabelle, they adopted and raised a niece, Gertrude.

Alcime, a lifelong resident of St. John Plantation, worked as a farm laborer. There is no indication that he ever owned a parcel of land for himself. That was still the case in 1920, when we find him living next to his brother Docite. He died of stomach cancer in 1921 and his body was laid to rest in St. John Catholic cemetery.

Alcime was a first cousin of Aimé Daigle, whose funeral card also appears in this collection.

The back features an image of Our Lady of Sorrows; an inscription reads, "Notre-Dame de Compassion, Marie, Mère de tous les chrétiens, priez pour nous" (Our Lady of Sorrows, Mary, Mother of all Christians, pray for us).
