| I am researching my family history. The below letter from my Aunt Jessie to a Canadian researcher helped to inspire this search. Portions of Jessie Frichette's letter to Claude Frechette, a Canadian Researcher. Stephen Frichette - Emma Baker had a farm 13 miles SE of Junction City Kansas. I talked to William (Will) quite a bit and this is what he told me. Stephen had a brother who was with them awhile in the late 1880's or early 1890's. Adolph didn't like it there and went back to Concord, Massachusetts, where he intended to settle. The family - William, Lou, Belle, Edward, Lawrence and possibly 2 small daughters who died & was buried on the farm. The mother, Emma and newborn baby, died and buried on the farm 1894. 1894 or 1895 Stephen loaded up 2 Studebaker wagons. He drove one & William drove the other and they headed back east. In Macks Creek, Mo (Camden County) the Dad, Stephen, took sick & died - with what is unknown. Stephen is buried in the Macks Creek cemetery. The kids were taken in by the area people except for William. The horses - wagons, etc were divided up among the people who took the kids. When they were all settled William left for several years, marrying Laura Sprague later. He then moved back to Macks Creek where they stayed quite awhile - they have a baby buried in Macks Creek Cemetery. Several other kids were born there. Sometime around 1909 -10? They came to Washington by train to Everett for a couple of years. He had a job on the R.R. when he got here - Sprague's came too. He worked in the valley between Cle Elum & Ellensburg for a couple of years then moved to Easton (section house). Bought a house in Easton in 1920. They moved to Morton, Wa in 1957? Laura died in 1959 - Will in 1966. I am also researching another Frichette family who originated from Canada and settled in the upper New York area. Any information on the Frichette's would be extremely appreciated. I am willing to share the data I have. Thank you. |
