Fradette, Mary L. (18 Jan. 1846 - 13 Dec. 1934)

Mrs. Mary L. Fradette, 88, a pioneer resident of Clark County, died Thursday morning, Dec. 13, at the home of her son, James H. Fradette, in this city, where she has made her home the past year. About three weeks ago, Mrs. Fradette fell, breaking her hip, and it was believed that the shock of the fall, with the complications resulting from old age, were the causes of death.

Mrs. Fradette, nee Fusee, was born in the province of Ontario, Canada, on Jan. 18, 1846. She was married to Augustus F. Fradette, in Northumberland, Ontario, on Nov. 22, 1867, and came to the United States in 1869, settling in the state of Michigan.

In 1875, with her husband and family, she moved to Wisconsin, taking up a farmstead in the town of Warner, Clark County, on which they made their residence until 1901, when they moved to Greenwood. Her husband died in that city December, 1910. In 1923 she left this community for Toulon, Ill., where she made her residence with a daughter until 1933, when she came to Neillsville to reside with her son.

Eight children were born of this marriage union, five of whom are living: Mrs. Adelaide Twichell, Trenton, Mich.; Mrs. Lottie Alliston, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Bessie Burch, Toulson, Ill.; Herbert W., town of York; and James H., Neillsville.

She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Jeanette Bahel, Otsego, Mich., and Mrs. Emma Engel, Trent, Mich., and by a brother, James Fusee, Sheboygan, Mich. In addition there are 13 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren living.

Funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon, at 1:30 o’clock from the Schiller Funeral home, with the Rev. P. B. White officiating. Burial took place in the Greenwood city cemetery.

My Hubel research has Augustus Fradette married to Arvilla Hubel, with two daughters, Sarah and Samantha.  They were married Sep. 10,1855.  I think he was born about 1835.Was this his first marriage?  And what happened to the 2 daughters?  Looking forward to hearing from you. Nancy Moshier
