      Trembley, Marie (Boismiea) d. February 23, 1899, age 83 years.

      The follwing is taken from an obituary held by Minnie Trombley Mercure of Newport, MI, in the 1960's, a granddaughter of the deceased:

      "Died February 20, 1899

      "Newport Death of an Old Pioneer

      "Mrs. mary Trombley died at her residence in Newport February 23rd, of pneumoni, after an illness of 13 days. She was taken with lagrip, then with pneumonia, which soon carried her off at the age of 82 years. By her death Newport l;oses one of its oldes pioneers, Having lived in the same place for nearly 63 years. Mrs. Trombley was the daughter of John B Baismier and Nicolet Drouillard; was born in Detroit December 16, 1816., then moved with her paens to Erie and thence to Lasalle, where she passed her girlhood days.. She was united in maariage to John B. Trombley, April 28, 1834 (actually 1835, his first wife dying on September 24, 1834. Two years later they settled at newport, then called Swan Creek, in a dense forest on a farm purchased of the government. which never changed hands. With the privations of pioneer days and hard labor they suceeded in making a pleasant home (See description of son Moses Trombley and entry of her husband for a detailed description of this home.)

      "Their union was blessed with twelve children (actually ten, the other two sons being by her first husband's marriage in Canda to Angelique Leroux). 4 sons and six daughters. Three of them died at an early age; one, Mrs. Elizabeth Vaudrey, died at Traverse City (MI); Mrs. Euphrasine and Mrs. matilda Van Wasenhova, of Newport, Mrs. Mary Jarvis of Detroit, Mrs. margaret Jarvis of Toledo (OH), Esther Baismier (actually, orginally spelled Baumier) of Custice (or Curtis?) (OH), and Sister M. Judula, of Notre Dame, IN.

      "She survived her husband by 22 years. She has ever since kept house with hr son, Charkes (youngest son) and had always done all of her work up to the time she as taken sick/ Mrs. Trombley was a devoted CAtholic. She and her husband were promoters of the first Catholic Church in Newport (St. Charles). They donated a piece of their land (2 acres) for the site of the Church and contributed largely to its support. She was highly respected by all. The funral took place at St. Charles Church Saturday, Rev. H. Syon officiating. A large course of people followed her to her last resting place."

      Again from an article held by Mrs. Minnie Trombley Mercure:

      "Card of Thanks:

      "I desire to extend my sincere heartfelt thanks to each and everyone who kindly assisted during the illness and funeral of my mother; also all those who nobly endered their aid, which is tenderly nursed with appreciation.

      Charles L. Trombley
      Moses D. Trombley"

      Charles Jarvis, son of Mary Trombley Jarvis and grandson of Mary Baumier Trombley, made the following statements to Patrick L. Tombeau in the 1960's:

      His mother, Mary Anne Trombley and her mother (Mary Baumier) were brought up among the Indians on Point Mouille, Berlin Twp., Monroe Co., MI., a jut of land into Lake Erie. The Black hawk Indians were their neighbors. Charles' maternal grandmother (Mary Baumier) nursed an old Inidan Chief's wife back to health from stab wounds. But the Chief got drunk again and killed both his wife and child.. The government sent an agent in to arest the Indian. He was given a trial and subsequently hung.

      Charles' grandmother (Mary Baumier) used to feed the Indians and had come to like the chief's wife very well.

      Charles Jarvis' mother (Mary Trombley) was born in a log cabin with five or six rooms and two floors. (See Moses Trombley entry for a description of this log cabin. Moses was Mary Trombley's brother).

      When Charles Jarvis was a boy he slept in his maternal grandparent's log cabin
      one winter night, only to wake up to find snow on his second floor bed.

      Her grandson Charles Jarvis through her daughter Mary, describes her as short stout woman. she was called "the shortest woman in these parts".

      It is also said of Mary that she was "the shortest woman in these parts".

      Her marriage date to J.B. Trombley was obtained from Fr. Christian Dennisen's "Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region", Vol. II, pg. 1204. Other dates of this family, including the children's birth dates, were also obtained form the same source, unless otherwise noted. Some information obtained from the work of Liana Trombley (See J. B. Trombley's entry, notes section and also scrapbook section for research materials.

      I have been working closely with Germaine Mae JARVIS on her ancestry. She pointed me to your web site.

      My wife is a descendant of Mathieu GERVAIS, and over the past couple of years I've been researching her family. If you're interested in seeing what I've got so far, let me know and I'll send you the User Name and password required to access the database. Please bear in mind that this is work in progress.

      I've also taken information from your web site and transcribed it onto my GERVAIS/JARVIS database.

      Cheers!
