When he became old enough to start in life for himself he settled along the part of the shore line of Lake St. Clair known as "the broken front" in Tilbury North township, where he owned a sixty-acre tract and enter upon a long life as a farmer. He lived to a ripe old age and died at the home of his son Jean-Baptiste. He was buried in Pointe aux Roches Cemetery. Lambert Chauvin was a prominent man in his section. Conservative in his political views, he served as treasurer of the township for three years, was also chosen constable, and for thirty years acted as school trustee.
