This is the worst puzzle ever

Mum’s guest house by Cardinal. Picked it up thrifting for $3. All the pieces are H and I and almost every H fits in every H spot and same for the Is. I’ve had so many false fits. Obviously the piece where the roof slants into the window is wrong but I’ve tried moving the whole window over and it doesn’t fit. I’m about to toss the whole thing but before I quit, does anyone see an obvious way I can salvage this window section?

I posted about my great great grandfather in Genealogy and someone recommended this group. I am trying to find out who his parents were.

This is everything I know:

Maxime Loiselle, born around 1842 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Immigrated to Oswego, New York and all his children were born in NY. He married Alphonsine St. Denis. I know a lot about her family but nothing about his.

I know is he had a brother named Charles (also born in Quebec), and an older sister (I don't know her name) who was in an asylum. He fought in the Civil War, enlisting in 1864 in Ithaca, NY, age 22. He and his brother Charles were under the guardianship of a man named Edward S. Mitchell in Oswego, NY when they were teenagers.

I know nothing about Maxime's parents. I only know he was born in Quebec and about his siblings from news articles about his arrest. I can't find him on any census records either. Everything I know is from news articles about him after he had legal trouble and was arrested.

He died Sept 17, 1913 in Plattsburgh, NY.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them!
