Lévite Thériault

Lévite Thériault (May 14, 1837 – December 2, 1896) was a land owner and political figure in New Brunswick.

Of Acadian descent, he was born in Saint-Basile, New Brunswick, the son of François-Régis Thériault and Julie Ringuet, and studied at the Collège de Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière in Lower Canada.

Thériault was a school trustee and later was named a justice of the peace.

He was first elected to the legislative assembly in an 1868 by-election held after the death of Vital Hébert.

He married Marie-Luce-Eugénie Patry in 1878 after the death of his first wife and moved to Fraserville (later Rivière-du-Loup) for a few years.
