St. Louis Family Search

mstlouis88 — 4 Aug 2008 6:13:30 GMT

I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about the St. Louis family that lived in Escanaba from about the 1890s-1970s. I know the parents were Joseph St. Louis b. abt 1858, & Maria Margaret Hjort b. abt 1867, but I do not know when they died. I believe they died in Escanaba. I know there were a total of 6 children, but I have limited information on them. Below is what I know of the children:

Angrea J St. Louis b. abt 1894
Harry Hjort St. Louis b. abt 1895, I believe he was in the military
Myrtle J St. Louis b. abt 1897
Joseph F St. Louis b. abt 1900
George St. Louis b. 22 Mar 1905, Escanaba, d. 7 Mar 1989, Ann Arbor, (I do not know where George is buried)
Stanley St. Louis b. 8 Dec 1910 in Escanaba, d. 22 Jun 1982 in Escanaba, buried in Lakeview Cemetery

If family stories are true, I believe that George and Stanley were U.S. Diplomats, but their parents and other siblings are a mystery to me, as well as where George is buried.

If anybody knows anything about this family, or has suggestions of where I could look for more information, I would really appreciate it

Powers of Escanaba

MichaelOHearn52 — 21 Oct 2005 3:31:33 GMT

Obituary Information: John Powers, pioneer resident of Escanaba (Michigan), died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James McCarthy, in Milwaukee (Wisconsin). He had been seriously ill for some time.
Mr. Powers was born at Mount Mellery, Waterford County, Ireland on June 24, 1844, and spent his early years at Waterford in the south of Ireland. He left Waterford on March 17, 1863, for Liverpool, England, and the next morning embarked for the United States on the sailing vessel Constitution. The voyage took 3 and a half weeks and he landed in New York on April 11. The cross country trip to Milwaukee took four or five days.He visited with relatives in Milwaukee for a time and during the summer went to Chicago where he was employed by what is now the Chicago and North Western Railway. I was during that same year that he first came to Escanaba. When Mr. Powers first came to Michigan he worked in the railroad company's freight office on the old Merchant Dock. This is before the railroad was completed between Escanaba and Negaunee and between Escanaba and Green Bay. He was working in the office when the first locomotive was unloaded from a scow at Escanaba. In 1872 he built a home on Ludington Street where the Kresge store is now. He was married to Ellen Coty, also an Irish immigrant on December 27, 1872, at Neenah, Wisconsin and they came to Escanaba on January 15, 1872, to make their home. Since 1927 he had lived almost continuously in Milwaukee with his daughter (Mary McCarthy)

Delta County > Martin Family

that comtain members of the Martin Family with the same
first names i have been looking for, and i am hoping it is the ones i'm looking for.

on a voters list you have an Adele Martin listed from Brussels Wisc. i am woundering if you have more on her.
the one i am looking for was married to Antoine Martin.

and on a probate record you have an Anton Martin 1910 Deceased 1374 im woundering if it Antoine , his children were Frank Martin in Wisconsin, Joseph L. Martin who would have been in Cheboygan abt that time,Clara Haverly, Delia Jeffroy, and John Martin.

i hope you can clarify if it is them or not.
my family has been trying to figure out were they went after
Cheboygan. Thank you

Thomas L and Ellen (Larson?) Smith of Delta Co

tdfugere — 18 Oct 2007 11:13:47 GMT

Looking for information on the children of this couple. They lived in Fairport, Sac Bay, etc.

Thomas L Smith was from Co Cork Ireland, and married Ellen Larson (at least I think that is her maiden name) abt 1855, probably in Canada. I've always thought it was Ontario, but one of the later censuses said both she & her dad were from Canada - Fr (Quebec). Her mother was Irish.

Thomas died in 1893. They had 11 children, 7 of whom survived to adulthood. I've identified several of them from census records ... the eldest, Louise Margaret, is my gg grandmother. She was born in Canada in 1857.
John, 1859, was born in WI
Francis/Frank, 1861, MI
Ellen Catherine? aka Kate, 1864, MI
Charles, 1868, MI
Thomas Washington, 1870, MI
Henry, 1873-74, MI

I have been unable to identify the other 4. I'm not even sure what happened to the other siblings, since I can't find marriage records for anyone, nor death records. Ellen lived with Henry up til about 1910, and he was single at that time. I seem to remember someone finding an obit for me previously, stating that she was living with a daughter when she died in Thompson, Schoolcraft, in Jan of 1913. It also gave her parents names, which were hard to read, but I have as Franz Larson and Fern Chase. I don't think these are right, since I've been unable to find any trace of them in the 1851 Canadian census.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer. I've been stuck at this brick wall for close to 10 years now!

Hello,

I am looking for the descendants of Medrick (Fred) Gereau/Giroux and Sarah Bonche Fluette. They had four known children (at least at this point in time): Anton born in 1907, Richard, Rudolph and a daughter, Sarah or Sally. According to court records, Sally and her brother (unsure of which one) were living in muskegon, MI in 1946 when Medrick died. Unknown where he is buried, but I would guess probably in the Nahma cemetery. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,

Kibby Family in Escanaba, MI

stephanieds — 22 Jun 2001 10:38:33 GMT

I'm looking for information on the family of Margaret "Maggie" (Seymour) Kibby who lived in Escanaba, Delta Co., MI in the 1920's and prior.

Margaret "Maggie" (Seymour) Kibby was a sister of my GGGgrandmother, Ida Seymour, whose parents I have unsuccessfully been trying to locate for quite some time. Other siblings of these two were Mary (Seymour) Bizner who later lived in Gladstone, MI, Emma (Seymour) O'Dell who later lived in Green Bay, Brown Co., WI, and Delia (Seymour) Roleau who lived in Neopit, Menominee Co., WI. So I am trying to find the parents of Margaret "Maggie," Ida, Mary, Emma, and Delia Seymour who were originally born in Plattsburgh, Clinton Co., NY and who migrated to Wisconsin with their parents (presumably) in approximately 1857 or 1858 initially settling in DePere, Brown Co., WI.

Any help would be much appreciated. I do not know the name of Margaret "Maggie" (Seymour) Kibby's husband or whether she had any children, nor do I have birth/death dates for any of these Seymour children except Ida: Ida Seymour was born 9 Apr 1843 in Plattsburgh, Clinton Co., NY and she died 24 Aug 1925 in Sturgeon Bay, Door Co., WI. She married Jean "John" Houle and she and her husband lived first in DePere, Brown Co., WI before relocating to Sturgeon Bay, Door Co., WI in approximately 1868.

Thanks to anyone who can offer assistance or who possibly connects into this line.

Take care,

need info Charcoal Kilns on the Garden Peninsula

msd1955 — 30 Jul 2007 12:52:01 GMT

Hi, my name is Mike Delaney. My wife Vickie and I have been researching and field researching the 19th Century Iron Smelting industry in Michigan for an extensive book project for 6 years. We have located and visited every furnace site on both peninsulas and now have gotten into the associated Charcoal Kiln operations that these iron furnaces employed, some at the plant site and some miles away to supply the fuel for the smelting operations. We have by research roughly located 10 charcoal kiln sites on the garden peninsula and 1 in Isabella that were satellite operations of the Jackson Iron Company at Fayette. We are visiting the peninsula on the weekend of August 5,6,7 to do field research on these sites and what if anything remains. The kiln sites areas we have targeted are Kates bay area, Garden Bay, Puffy Creek, South Bay area, Section 9 just south of Fayette, Mud Lake, section 29 on south end of peninsula, Sac Bay, Section 5 at Summer Island near fairport, and section 23 on the old Arnie Rochefort farm(souoth end of peninsula).
The sites if anything remains would be large stone circles about 20-30 feet in diameter maybe a few feet high, several in number. We would greatly appreciate any tips, clues, sightings, contact info on these sites, condition, locations etc. Bear in mind we access permission if these are on private land before proceeding to investigate. All information received will be credited and documented to those who donated it. This infomation when this book is completed will be an historical record so any scrap of information or contact info is vital. Contact me(Mike or Vickie Delaney) at 734-241-1305 or msd1955@comcast.net or post reply on this board. Many Thanks!!!

HOLY CROSS CEMETERY Delta Co. Look-up

KathleenVincent744 — 25 Jun 2007 1:34:59 GMT

I am hoping that someone could take photo's of the following grave sites.

Located in section 1, north on M-35, and east of Portage Creek, City of Escanaba, Delta County, Michigan. The land was first purchased by St. Joseph Church in 1889 and was for the exclusive use of St. Joseph Church members. In 1893, St. Anne's Church purchased land adjoining that of St. Joseph from Peter Semer for the use of its church members. In the early 1900's, St. Patrick's Church also had a designated cemetery area near St. Joseph and St. Anne's. In 1947 the cemetery was re-organized and at that time was named Holy Cross Cemetery. It is active and operated by the Catholic Diocese of Marquette. This index is created from the cemetery interment books one and two, date from 1944 to 1994 and tombstone readings (marked with an asterisk).

I am looking for information regarding Dan and Pauline Sarasin. They had quite a few children; I am descended from one daughter, Beatrice (1919-2003). Any information would be appreciated.

LAFRAMBOISE, ROUSSEAU, CHAMPAGNE

denniskaren01 — 25 Mar 2002 10:48:47 GMT

Greetings from Salem, Oregon.

I am running into problems with my research per my Great-Grandmother, Marie (Mary) Josephine" LaFramboise (b. 15 Feb 1858) who was born in Marinette, but seems to have spent time being raised in Escanaba, Bay de Noc, Gladstone areas, and Green Bay, (Bay Settlement, Town of Scott). The surnames mentioned were intermarried with one another. Problem is Jean Baptiste Laframboise b. 1826/17, Josephines' father seems to have a problem with "who" his father was. It's written in "The Wisconsin Creoles" as Pierre, yet shown in other records I am told, as M. Joseph Laframboise (b. about 1770) who married Veronique (Koekoseque) Menominee "Monique" (b. about 1785). Then it's written as Louisa Magdelaine's gf as "Francois" Laframboise. (Louisa was Josephine's sister.)

So, are there any Chalifoux, Brunette, Maccabee, Martin, Bernard, Laframboise, Rousseau, or Champagne families out there that may be able to help me out?

Thank you,

Karen

LAFRAMBOISE Missing

denniskaren01 — 25 Mar 2002 10:48:47 GMT

My great-grandmother (Josephine LAFRAMBOISE) had a brother, George LAFRAMBOISE who was listed in their mothers' probate Feb 1890, as living in Escanaba,MI. But, can not find any evidence of that and where he went to.

George was born in 1856, Town of Scott, Brown Co., WI and I found his Indian name as AN-NES-SHE-NEN-NE. He married abt 1883 MAH-THEN-NE-AH-QUAH b. 1862.

i. Frank b. 13 Aug 1885 Brown Co., WI
ii. Regina b. 23 Apr 1887 Brown Co., WI
iii. Frank II (AN-NES-SHE-NEN-NE) b. 1894?
iv. AH-NA-HO-NA-WA b. 1895
v. Wayne b. 1919?

This is all I have and I can not find any info on these people. Brick wall.

Does anyone know what the Indian names mean, are they Menominee or Ojibwe? George had several siblings and they married Louis LAMOTTE, John M. BARNARD, John HORSEWOOD, Anton MARTIN, BEAUPRE, and ROUSSEAU.

George's parents were Jean Baptiste (John B.) LAFRAMBOISE and Mary ROUSSEAU (d. Feb 1890 Escanaba, MI).

James T. JONES who married Olive

Stargazr5775 — 1 Mar 2007 1:52:16 GMT

I am hoping someone can help me locate some information about James T. JONES.
James b. Mar. 1885 in MI
married someone by the name of Olive according to the 1930 census. James was age 45 in the 1930 census and Olive was 41 years old.
They had a daughter, Beverly b. abt. 1919. She was 11 according to the 1930 census.
I don't know if they had any more children or not.
I would like to find out when James died and is buried, but also when he married Olive and what Olives maiden name was. Of course I welcome any information on Olive because all I have is her name and an approx. birth date.
I am hoping to find out what happened to Bevery JONES, their daughter. They lived a long way away from the rest of his family. Wondering if maybe Olives family were up there.
If anyone can help me locate some information I would appreciate if very much!

I have located a marriage record the above couple in Delta County. It is believed Frank Olson is a brother to my grandfather Gustav Edwin Olson who lived in Duluth, MN.

Looking for any family connection to Frank and Minnie. Are there any newspapers on microfilm that might list their marriage.

Also there was a Nels Olson family that lived next to Frank in the 1910 census. Are Nels and Frank related? Nels married Matilda Anderson in 1892 in Escanaba.

Frank can be located until the 1930 census. Are there any death records, online or otherwise to locate when he died, assuming he died in the area.

thanks for any direction. Totally new lead to me so unfamiliar with the area and the records available for Delta county.

A lot of her family moved to Clark County, Wisconsin and we thought that is where she died but I found a note in some of our family things that said she had moved, in 1897, to live with her daughter in Escanada, Michigan. That daughter may have been Bridgette Fex and she married Joseph Dupuis.
We know she died 15 October 1903 but are unable to find where she is buried.
Are there any cemeteries on line for this county?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks so much.
Take care, Darlene

1) Earl Kenneth 1908
2) Loyde H. 1909 died 1940?
3) Gladys E. 1911
4) Dorothy V. 1912
5) Elaine L. 1914
6) John S. 1916 (perhaps died before 1930 as not found on census);
7) Ethel?? M. 1918

My Great Grandfather was Charles David Duranceau and he married Marie Adrienne Barron in 1884. His older brother Peter Duranceau married Adrienne's older sister Mary Ann Barron approx 1868. Charles & Adrienne owned a Tavern/Hotel outside of Escanaba Michigan. Peter had a Tavern in Escanaba. Peter & Mary Ann's son's did not stay in the Upper Pennisula. Charles & Adrienne's son's never married so the family name died in our area. Any info anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Looking for a D. H. Rowells in Escanaba, Delta county, MI.
Lived in Escanaba in 1913. May have died before 1935 or remarried. I am guessing the D. and H. stands for Dora Hartshorn and that Rowells is her married name.
Any help appreciated. Thanks, Jane
