While I spent time on the Dead Lake Prairie (summers when I was a 11 to 14 year old), I never knew any of the history of the family. Therefore, I would appreciate any information you can give to me. Also, I have been led to believe (unsubstantiated) that the name "LaPean" was changed to that from the french name "Boreau", or something similar to that. Any information you might have in that regard would also be appreciated.
