Fradette, Mary L. (18 JAN 1846 - 13 DEC 1934)

Mrs. Mary L. Fradette, nee Fusse, was born in the province of Ontario, Canada, on Jan. 18, 1846 and passed away at the home of her son, James H. Fradette in Neillsville (Clark Co., Wis.) Thursday morning, Dec. 13, 1934.

She was married to Augustus F. Fradette in Northumberland, Ontario on Nov. 22, 1867, and came with her husband 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 resided until 1901, when they moved to this city. Her husband passed away here in 1910.

In 1923 she left Greenwood for Toulon, Ill., where she resided with a daughter until 1933, when she went to Neillsville to live with her son. About three weeks ago Mrs. Fradette fell, breaking her hip and it is believed that the shock of the fall, with the complications resulting from old age, were the causes of death.

Thirteen children were born to this union, five of whom are living: Mrs. Adelaide Twichell, Trenton, Mich.; Mrs. Lottie Alliston, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Bessie Burch, Toulon, 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 Fusse (Fusee?), Cheboygan, Mich., and by thirteen grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren living.

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the Schiller Funeral Home, with Rev. P.B. White officiating. Interment was made in the Greenwood Cemetery.
