Born at Rigaud, Vaudreuil County, Quebec in 1846, son of Alexandre Chevrier and Mathilde Gauthier, he was educated in Rigaud, then Ecôle de Bourget.

McMullen and they had two children, including Eudore Chevrier. Chevrier’s business career began with his father in the clothing business in Ottawa. He came to Winnipeg in 1871 and operated a clothing and fur business called “The Blue Store.” It was later carried on by his sons Horace and Eudore. He was appointed a Senator in January 1909. He died at his Winnipeg home, 106 Balmoral Street, on 9 October 1911 and was buried in the St. Boniface Cemetery. He is commemorated by Chevrier Boulevard.
