  • Notes 
    • Clara Dusseau divorced John Counter and married a man named Bemis with whom she moved to California where they parted ways immediately. She brought her son John S. Counter ("Buzzer") with her, but her daughters remained behind in Toledo and married. They did not get along with their mother and refused to see her when she visted. This information was secured from a letter to me from Mrs. Allie may Lisle, wife of Richard Dusseau, Sr., and mother of Richard Dusseau, Jr. The two daughtersd lived on Center Ave., near the Counter Florists, apparnetly owned by her husband's family, according to my Great Aunt Norma Dusseau Gray.

      Clara's first husband was John S. Counter. She married a second time to a Holliday and moved with her second husband to California.

      Mrs. Lisle also reports in an interview with Patrick L. Tombeau on July 17, 1964. that according to Joseph Dusseau's Will, his daughter Clara was to get the two grandmothr pictures (presumably the mothers of Joseph and Mary Cluckey Dusseau) and Mrs. Lisle shipped them to Clara in California, but theri current wherabouts is unknown unless they survive among her descendants.

      Because of Clara Dusseau's efforts. her brother James contested his father Joseph Dusseau's Will and Clara convinced Joseph's heirs to give him $75.
