    Notes:

    Gustav Ferdinand Girion (Gyrion) was married to Josephine Francois (b Oct. 1, 1871 in Door county) and had Joseph, Louis and perhaps other children. Josephine died in Door County after 1878 and Gustav married Melina De Wit (b 1851 in Tourinnes-St-Lambert, Brabant Wallon, Belgium) in Brussels, Door County on 31 March 1880. They had one child, Lousia Girion, b 9 May 1883. Thanks for the reply. My wife's Mother, Margaret (Gyrion) Werth's father was Joseph A (Andrew) Gyrion. From what I think, Gustav Gyrion was married to Meline DeWit in Door County WI on March 31, 1880. They had a daughter Louise (b 9 May 1883) I think Meline died between then and 1889 and Gustav remarried to Josephine Francois before 1890 because Joseph A was born in 1891. Do you have info on additional brothers and sisters of Joseph A? (like Henry)? Joseph and his wife Mabel (Moore) were both killed in Waupaca Co. in 1935 (March) by a drunk driver.(From an Ancestry.com message board post)

    Died:
    Adrien Francois was born 17 March 1834 in the village of Hevillers, Brabant Wallon Province, Belgium. In 1856 he immigrated to the U.S. along with his wife, Marie Francoise Sufriangville (ca. 1834-1862) , and their three children, Adam, Marie Florentine, and Celestine; others in the party were Adrien's brother Pierre, Pierre's family, and a neighbor from Hevillers, Jean Joseph Tonnon. The party proceeded to the then frontier Town of Brussels in Door County, Wisconsin, where in May 1857 they made land claims and established the foundations of the village of Misiere.

    Adrien's wife, Marie Francoise, died in 1862. The following year Adrien married Fulvie Adelaide Piette (1846-1905), a fellow immigrant from Belgium who had arrived in the Misiere area with her parents in 1857. Adrien and Fulvie had six children, all born at Misiere.

    Adrien continued to reside at Misiere until the mid-1880s. He was involved there in many enterprises, including farming and the operation of a saloon and dance hall. He also held a number of civil posts, including postmaster at Misiere, member of the Door County Board, and Clerk of the Board of the Town of Brussels. He was also among the founders of the St. Michaels Catholic Church, which was built upon land donated by Adrien.

    Adriens twice lost he home to fire, first in the Great Fire of 8 October 1871 which laid waste to a large portion of northeastern Wisconsin, and again in a fire that destroyed his home and saloon in 1885.

    After his time in Door County Adrien first moved to Green Bay, where he engaged in a brick-making business with his brother. He subsequently moved to Springville (later named Plover) in Portage County, Wisconsin. He died there 5 January 1900 and is buried in Saint Stephen Cemetery.

    His name at birth was spelled Adrien. During his years in Door County the spelling most commonly used was Adrian. In his last years he was mostly known by the name Andrew, perhaps as an attempt to anglicize his name when he was no longer a member of the dominantly French-speaking community at Misiere. Also, in some late records, including his obituary, his surname was recorded in the anglicized form as Frances or Francis.
