Story of a Laurent

As written by Marge Thielke



A priest, brother of Philomene Laurent, my great-great grandmother, was Father Frank Laurent. He volunteered to help out in a leprosy epidemic and lived in a leper colony for the rest of his life. He died in the late 1880s or early 1890s.

This family has much history. Alex Grignon (Gree-no), who was my great-great grandma DeBroux's great uncle, a full-blooded Stockbridge Indian. Alex was the last Postmaster to run a Post Office at Cowdelain (Indian for "fast rapids") when Wisconsin was still a territory. He was the first Post Master there when Wisconsin became a state. Cowdelain was later called Kaukauna. Alex also tended Combined Locks from his house near the shore, which is now a museum. It is now the Grignon Museum.

Also shown in the museum is the history of Father St. Louis, brother of my great-great grandmother, Olivine St. Louis, the secretary to the first bishop of Milwaukee. He became a missionary in Colorado Springs, Colorado. There he earned money to build his church by building homes for other people. His church still stands today. He died in Colorado Springs in the late 1880s or early 1890s.

The DeBroux families and the Laurent families all sent soldiers for the Civil War serving in the Black Hat Brigade from Wisconsin. All returned home safe and sound.

Charles Van Price
As written by Marge Thielke

Charles Van Price was born in the early 1800s. Tragedy struck however, because he, my great grandfather, decided to see Holland again. He sold his land earlier, and was now one of the wealthiest men in that part of the state. One day he went to the grocery store and never came back! His daughter found he had withdrawn all his savings (a very sizeable amount) and left for Europe. They traced him to Antwerp, Belgium --- then all trace was gone. He was never heard from again. This is why his son Peter, my grandfather, went to work for Joseph DeBroux, my grandfather on my father's side.

Came to U.S. in 1874, and went to Dousman, Wisconsin. He worked for Mr. Dousman, later moved to Little Chute, Wisconsin, then to Phlox, Wisconsin in 1887. While staying with his daughter, Effie, in Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1922, he went grocery shopping for her and was not seen again. After investigating, it was assumed that he returned to Holland from Milwaukee.

Charles married Johanna Maria KREBBEKX on 22 Dec 1870 in Hoofdplaat, Zeeland, Netherlands. Johanna (daughter of Jacobus Franciscus KREBBEKS and Maria Sophia SCHAILOR) was born on 11 Sep 1847 in Hoofdplaat, Zeeland, Netherlands; died on 9 Jul 1920 in Phlox, Langlade, Wisconsin, United States; was buried in Phlox, Langlade, Wisconsin, United States.
