Sixth Generation

Louis OZIOS ^{(Louis Boundreau Osias⁴Louis Boundreau³Osias Boundreau^2,Francois
Boundreau^2,Michael Boudrot¹}^⁾ was born on 1 August 1833 at St. Jean Baptist, De Nicolet, Canada. He died on 24 November 1883 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

According to Mary Louise Miles: Louis was born in Quebec.
Source: birth.

Died of heart & arthritic condition in 1883 - Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. News article (The Independent) says he walked away - his body later found.

The following information was all I ever knew and came from Mary Louise Miles, until I started researching the family and was able to validate much of this.

He was born about 1835 in Quebec or Montreal. He married at age 27, about 1862.
They settled at Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. after he was married. He ran a butcher shop.
Louis owned 10 acres of land across from downtown original Chippewa Falls. There they had their home and raised ten kids. He had blue eyes and wavy hair, fair skin like his son Alex.

His mother and baby sister died in Canada. His father migrated to Michigan or Wisconsin. Louis was raised with his uncle's family in Canada. When he was quite young Louis came to Wisconsin looking for his father.

He found his father's 2nd wife and family (2 daughters), but his father had died before that and the new family claimed they knew nothing of a former marriage of Louis' father nor of the son Louis. The daughters (Louis; half sisters) grew up and married wealthy men - La Mont and McCarthy. A granddaughter Margaret La Mont was later in the silent movies. Her father, a La Mont, was a lawyer in Duluth, Minnesota.

Louis worked on the flat river boats up & down the Mississippi before the Civil War. He married Josephine Russeau in 1846 (1862?). He was a strict father, religious (catholic) but did not believe in confession to a priest. All the children attended catholic school. All were baptized in the Catholic Church in Chippewa Falls.

The younger children were with their foster uncle and old Lady La Sart after the death of the father and mother. According to Mary Louis Miles, his folks are from southern France - she thought maybe the Basque country because they had fair complexions - blond and blue eyes. His uncle (La Sart?) raised a large family of boys, sheep and honey.

Mrs. Hazel Poppe (Strickland) wrote that she thought he was born in France, not Quebec. His grandfather had changed his last name and the papers were lost. There's quite a story.

Louis' half sisters grew up and married a La Mott and a McCarthy, according to Mary Louise Miles. The fact is that Margaret married Joseph G. LaMotte, a saloon keeper of Chippewa Falls. No related McCarthy can be found.

Louis married Josephine BOISSEAU daughter of Joseph BOISSEAU OR BESAU and Mary Ann (BOISSEAU) on 29 November 1864 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Josephine was born on 17 December 1848 in Chippewa Falls ?, Prairie D Chien?, Wisconsin. She was christened in St. Gabriel's Church, Wisconsin. She died about 1885 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. She was buried in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

According to Mary Louise Miles:

Josephine REAUSEAU was born in Michigan 2 weeks after her folks arrived from France - Normandy French according to Mary Louise Mile's mother.

Joseph REASEAU, her father, was a blacksmith. The mother and dad REASEAU both died and left 2 orphan girls who was left to Josephine's Aunt a Mrs. La Sart, the child "Oline" died in infancy and Josephine was raised by her Aunt Mrs. La Sart, a widow woman along with several other orphan children she raised. La SART or La SARTE was Josephine ROUSSEAU's mother's maiden name as near as I can make out.

Josephine was 16 when she married Louis OZIOS 27 at the time of their marriage about 1862. They settled in Chippewa Falls.

She died about 1885 of inflammation of the bowels ?, appendicitis.

According to my Mom< (Laura Hoffman Thompson): Josephine ROUSSEAU was born in Michigan about 1846. She was married when she was 16 about 1862. She lived in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin after her marriage. She died about 1885 in Chippewa Falls. Her kids were Emma Lene who married at 16.

Josephine was quite a comic. She could sing and challenged 2 Wisconsin state Champions of tap dancing. She knew more steps than they. She had dark hair and eyes. Mrs. Hazel Strickland (Poppe) says that she thought Josephine was born in Canada - and that she was French and raised by French Indians named La Sart.
