Notes:

Little Fred moved with his family to Ontario when he was about three-years old. As a young man, Fred stood witness at the weddings of two of his sisters. He was in Waubaushene in January 1882 when Minnie was married. He was also there when Natalie was married in October 1883. After their wedding, the young millhand Fred and his wife settled in Penetanguishene, where they had 11 children with onlyone son among them. Quite obviously, their large family contributed to the growth ofthe city of Penetanguishene, which grew to over 2000 residents by 1895. They also served as godparents to six family youngsters: nephew Henry BOURDON in June 1887 in Midland, nephew Albert ARBOUR in December 1894 in Midland, nephew Bert ARBOUR in December 1894 in Midland, niece Veronica ARBOUR in February 1907 inMidland, granddaughter Lucie BEAUSOLEIL (Fred only) in June 1908 in Penetanguishene, and granddaughter Stella BEAUSOLEIL in July 1909 in Penetanguishene. In 1889, just acouple of years after their wedding, Fred and Mary saw the first three streetlights in Penetanguishene. By 1910, electric services were available to virtually the entire community. The family was reported as living in Penetanguishene both in1891 and in 1901. In 1901, Fred earned $350 as one of the 60 millhands at the McGibbon Lumber Mill. They probably lived in Penetanguishene forthe rest of their years.

Notes:

After their wedding, Hilda and Charlie set up their home in Penetanguishene, where the population was 3,664 in 1920. There they had six children, four daughters and two sons, who were all born in Penetanguishene. Charlie was a firefighter with the Penetanguishene Volunteer Fire Department. In 1916 or 1917, their team won the Simcoe County Championship among volunteer fire brigades.

Oddly, a Baby Girl MARCHILDON, who died in 1970, is also buried with Hilda and Charlie in their polt in St Ann's Cemetery. Perhaps she was a granddaughter or a great-granddaughter.

From Linda CHARRON via email on 18 Feb 2009: Catherine-Hilda Arbour wasthe 5th of 11 children born to Wilfred Arbour and Mary Ann Lalonde. She was baptised in St Ann's Church by Reverend Theophile Laboureau on 28August 1898. Father Laboureau and Agnes Lalonde stood as Godparents. The family must have had close ties to the Father Laboureau to have asked him and for the Priest to have accepted the honour of Godparent.

She had 6 children

Notes:

It is unclear why two local young people went all the way to Detroit tobe married. Did they meet there? Or was it a romantic elopement? Aftertheir wedding, Zita and Clarence's whereabouts are unclear. The couplemay have stayed in Detroit or returned to Ontario.

From Karen KAUS of Windsor, ON, via email on 28 Mar 2011: I found out completely by accident about my grandfather's "first" wife, Zita. I was visiting Penetanguishene a few years ago and called a "Kaus" in the local phone book. It turned outto be Charles Kaus' son, Charlie. We met and talked for an hour and then he just blurted out "I remember your grandfather, how long has been dead". My reply was Oh, he's still living (1994). Then Charlie said "and, I remember his first wife".I think the stunned look on my face was enough for him to stop talking. He wouldn't say anything else. One month later while visiting my grandmother's sister I asked her about this "story". She confirmed that my grandfather andZita were married in Detroit. My great aunt's explanation for the split up was a little on the "shady" side. She claimed that while my grandfather was out working on the great lakes (on the ships) Zita would "see" other men. I, of course, have no proof ofthis, just my great aunt'swords. I have found no divorce papers. At that time, 1926, if you wanted a divorce you would have to petition the Queen of England. I'm sure this would have not been the case, as my Grandmother, Adeline and Grandfather were very "hush, hush" abouttheir family history. Last year, while at a funeral, in Penetanguishene, a cousin mentioned that she would remember when my grandparents would come to townthey didn't go anywhere inpublic and their children,apparently, weren't allowed to say who theirparents were. This cousin says that Zita and my grandfather had two children (Joan and John (twins)). She may have her info mixed up as John Frederick Kaus had a daughter who had twins by that name. I could only imagine that if my grandfatherhad found out that "I KNEW" his secret...OH, MY!!

Perhaps this is also our Zita . . .
