Lemire Collection Additions

Thanks to cousin Ellen, we have additional photos to insert into the Lemire collection. Not all additions are shown. I have replaced the zip file to include these photos. Since we have a nice little bundle of obituaries and death announcements, I have taken those items and placed them in an Adobe PDF format. (It makes printing easier.)

• Lemire.zip 4.46 MB (Aug. 18, 2009 update)
  

The photo -right, is of Marie Lemire Turcotte. She is Marie Louise Pepin Lemire's sister. It was taken in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Also in the collection we have this photo (left) of Henry, age 44, and Amanda Dupont, age 34, taken in Russell, Manitoba, Canada [1931].

These again are compressed zip folders that you can download and unzip to gain access to the photos. If you can't uncompress them you can download a free application to install that will open the file for you: 7-zip (For Windows OS) [There should be no problem for MAC users]

I have two links for Angie's side of the family:

Sarah Ellis possibly Serah Felland (Ellis)

Here is a photo identified as Sarah Ellis, which I am not sure of. As one can see that this photo was taken around the early 1900's.

Adah Estella Ellis was born in 1899 (married to Joe Teel), her mother was Serina "Serah" Felland (married to Ira Benson Ellis in 1893). I am assuming that this photo is of a young Estella -right, and Serah -left.

Please make comments if you have any more information.

Thanks to my Mom for the following information:

Mother Sara (Serina ) is on the right...the lady on the right is either a friend or a cousin. Sarah had bright red hair and like all the other ladies in the family did not gain weight until she was about 45 years old. She had a beautiful soprano voice sang often in the EUB church Filomouth Oregon. She sewed beautifully making lace and fine hand work. She cooked plainly but well. She had finishing school as a girl and as far as I remembers was very patient and kind.

Grandma Warth and Girls

Here is a picture of "Grandma Warth, Beth and Vida." I am not sure who the tot is but I hope someone does.

Grandma Margaret Warth (Smith) was married to Jerome Warth in 1936.
They had 9 children. Beth -or Elizabeth Anne was the youngest. Our line comes through Robert Warth - Margaret's fifth child. I am speculating that Vida was the eldest daughter.

If anyone has more info please comment.

Grandpa Arthur "Bud" Harker

Here are two photos of Gpa Arthur Harker.

The first one is of him as a baby, while the second is of him as a toddler. (Nice bowl cut Grandpa!) These photos were scanned by Robert Harker, his eldest son.

Grandpa is the eldest son of Arthur LeRoy and Florence Winters. He has two sisters. His wife is Helen Andersen. We have Grandma Harker telling about Grandpa's and her courtship and early married life in MP3.

Arthur and Helen have a large family of descendants from their eight children. Grandpa has made for most of his great-grand kids a variety of wooden items from rocking chairs, to trains, cars, trucks and more for all to treasure.

Lemire Sisters

Here is a picture of two Lemire sisters (about 1940-50). The sister on the left I assume is Amanda (Dupont). The other sister living at that time was Florida Maria, who was a that time a Nun. The sister on the right is Beatrice Evangeline.

Their parents were Zacharie Lemire and Marie Louise Pepin. Zacharie and Marie had 12 children-6 boys and 6 girls. Amanda was the second born, while Beatrice was the youngest.

Grandma Beatrice "Mere" was married to Harvey Vernon Brockway in 1918 (Letellier, Manitoba, Canada) and had three children; Frank, Leo, and Pearl. In 1959, Mere married George Oliver Woodford in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mere died in November 1985.

I remember Mere as short and thin (a petite 4' 9"), having a french-canadian accent and an amazing positive approach to everything. Grandpa George loved her very much. Mere had a three foot tall doll. I remember my sister wanting to play with it. Grandpa George gave it to her after he found out that she had never had a doll of her own.

Thanks to Frank Brockway, we have now an audio history of Mere in MP3 format to download to hear some of her memories.
