Notes for LOUIS MOSES GAMELIN:

Louis Moses Gamelin married Anna Sophia Wink (daughter of Theodor Henry Wink & Anna Mary Kaiser) in 1885 Marinette, Wisconsin. After marriage, Louis & Anna lived with her parents while he worked as a stevedore (Marinette City Directory, 1887). Their first child, Anna Rose, probably was born in the Wink home & remembered Grandma Wink warmly. Then trouble dogged the family , an eighth child died in infancy, Anna Sophia's health failed, Louis' behavior deteriorated, perhaps because of the lessening job opportunities ( Lucille remembers hiding under a porch across the street to see what mood he came home in) his wife ejected him until he signed promises of reform, and then, in July 1908, the family was broken up by Anna Sophia's death. At this crucial time, the oldest daughter, Anna, was almost earning her way teaching in Michigan. the oldest son, 19-year old Louis Godfrey, may have had a job or he may have been ailing, since he died the following year. Fred, 17, and Francis 15, had left school at the end of eighth grade to help support the family. Now their greatest concern must have been for Margaret, 13, and the two little ones, Joseph, 7, and Lucille, 5. Apparently the older children were alienated by there father's abusive behavior. Upon Anna Sophia's death, therefore, Anna Rose took immediate charge of Lucille & started her in school. Eventually she reared Lucille through high school. Joseph apparently stayed with his father & other relatives, but he was abused. Lucille remembered seeing him kicked across the room and bloodied. Eventually, Anna was able to take responsibility for him too, with financial help from Francis and possibly, Fred, who left home to make his way in the Washington lumber industry. When Anna taught in Iron River, Wisconsin, she placed Joseph nearby in an Ashland orphanage, the Sacred Heart Convent, with a promise to take him into her home after marriage. On May 13, 1911, he wrote a postcard to her saying, " I am back at the Convent and feeling fine. When are you coming to get me? With love from Joseph." Promptly after her June 08, marriage to Mervin Liebman, Anna brought Joseph into her new home. At some point, Louis took a Fortune-teller & herbalist to be his second wife, but the children detested her. Margaret refers to her coldly as "Mrs. Gamelin" in a 1915 letter to Anna. Lucille remembers her as ugly, with a misshapen eye, a deformity which led relatives & others in Marinette to call her "one-eyed Molly." Lucille remembers staying there only once with her father after his remarriage. Anna had instructed her to climb "a long stairs" to a certain lawyer's office if she was mistreated. She was - or felt she was - & fled to the attorney's office, where Anna & Mervin retrieved her.
