Author: kmjmd Surnames: Demers-Demaris Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.demers/567.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi again, ok do not know just how far you are into genealogy, but just in case you did not know this all males were baptized with the first name of Joseph and the females with Marie, so most likely Silas was a nickname or middle name. Kind of hard to think Silas as a very French name ? There are a few more Demers in the St Lawrence Co area mostly though in Ogdensburg. A good website to check for St Lawrence Co info is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~stlawgen/index.HTM There is not a lot of information on Gouvernour which is the county it is located in though. Might interest you and maybe help. Some of the other ways of spelling Demers there were Demars, Demar, Demarse. I actually am looking for the Gareau family of that county but their daughter Delphine married Paul Demers in Ottawa in 1864 and moved to Ogdensburg about 1865/66, so that is how I know the name. You could post to the forum located on the web page, I know there are a couple of other Demers researchers on there. Sorry I could not be of more help Kristin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My great grandfather's name was Silas Demers(Demarais) born around 1870 in Canada (Quebec). My grandfather was born in Gouvernour, N.Y. I thought that maybe they were visiting relatives when my grand father was born. I found this to be the case when my grandfather's sister was born in Minnesota and thought that might be the situation for my grandfather as well. They lived in Michigan most of their lives. I do not have any information on my great grandfather's parents or siblings except that he may have had a brother named Edward, not sure of the spelling though. Do you know these people? or know of anyone who does? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Abt 1845, (daughter of Jean-Baptiste Deguire and Luce Cournoyer). Frederick died 7 Feb 1908, Rice Lake, Barron, WI, USA. Story in "History of aroon Co. Wisconsin". Moved to Rice Lake in 1881. Frederick I. Demers, farmer, merchant and public official for many years in Rice Lake, now deceased, exerted a real influence on the life of the county, and left behind the memory of an honest, upright and useful life. He did his duty as he saw it in business, in public affairs and in his family, and was held in high esteem. He was a native of Canada, born in Quebec, Nov. 17, 1845, the son of McGuire and Margaret (Dauplaise) Demers, both of Canadian birth, but of ancient French lineage. The father, who was a mason by trade, died in 1881, after which the mother came to Rice Lake, took up her home with her son, Frederick I., and died March 31, 1914, at the age of ninety-seven years. The subject of this sketch as a boy attended the Canadian public schools. He began his mercantile career at the age of fourteen, when he started clerking in a store at Sorel, Province of Quebec, Canada. After some years of this,! he engaged in the mercantile and cordwood business for himself in the same place. In 1870 he came to the States, bringing his family, and locating at Menomonie, Dunn County, Wis. It was in 1871 that he came to Barron County, and took a homestead of 160 acres in section 24, Rice Lake Township. He developed a good place, worked hard to acquire success, and there established the foundation of his future fortunes. In 1881 he moved to the city of Rice Lake, established himself in the mercantile business, and soon became one of the leading business men of the county. He sold the establishment in 1906, and retired. Busy as he was with his personal and business affairs, he found time for public work, and was a member of the town board five years and a member of the city council for two years. He also served on various committees and delegations at various times. He died Feb. 8, 1908, and in his passing the county lost a valued citizen. Mr. Demers was married in Canada, Feb. 27, 1! 865, to Mary Derosier, and this union has been blessed with five child ren: Wilfred A. is cashier of the First National Bank at Rice Lake. Samuel is in Seattle, Wash. Joseph J. is a practicing physician of Pompey's Pillar, Montana. Clara is the widow of J. P. Morneau, and lives in Appleton, Wis. Laura is the wife of J. H. Wilz, cashier of the Citizens Bank of Rice Lake. Wilfred A. Demers, financier, agriculturist, former county and city official, former member of the selective draft board, and present cashier of the First National Bank of Rice Lake, was born in the Province of Quebec, Canada, Nov. 17, 1865, son of Frederick I. and Mary (Derosier) Demers, who brought him to the States in 1870 and after a year in Menomonie, this state, came to Barron County. Wilfred A. was reared on a homestead in Rice Lake Township, and there attended the district schools. He was sixteen years old when his family moved to Rice Lake, and here he continued his schooling, spending his spare time in working with his father in his store, and thus learning the princi! ples of business life. After he left school he worked two years for the Omaha Railroad at Rice Lake. Then he became a clerk in his father's store. In the fall of 1898 he was elected county treasurer, and served for four years, making his home at Barron. Upon his retirement he continued in the court house for a while as assistant to the county treasurer. Afterward he resumed his employment with his father. He entered upon his banking career Nov. 1, 1907, as assistant cashier of the First National Bank at Rice Lake. His hard work and ability, as well as the confidence in which he is held in the community, at once became important factors in the life of the bank, and on Jan. 1, 1914, he was elevated to his present position. Reared as he was on a farm, he has always been interested in agriculture, and he makes a hobby of his fine place of 400 acres in Rice Lake Township, where he breeds full-blooded Holstein-Freisian cattle for dairy purposes. In addition to this he is the owne! r of several residences and business buildings in Rice Lake City. His public office holding has not been confined to the court house, for in the city as well, he has done excellent service. He has been city clerk and city treasurer, and during his term as alderman was one of the prime movers in installing the present adequate sewage system. During the war he was fearless and just as a member of the selective draft board, and also headed a number of Liberty Loan and War Fund drives. All in all he is a broad minded man of intelligence and ability, who has the best good of the community at heart, and who, in acquiring his own success, has not been unmindful of others. Fraternally he is a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Forestors. Mr. Demers was married July 4, 1887, to Delima Santerre, who was born in Canada, Sept. 6, 1868. To this union ten children have been born. Alda is a teacher and lives at home. Odille was for several years librarian at the Carnege Library at Rice Lake. Hazel is accountant for the First National Bank at ! Rice Lake. Leontine is the wife of Russell Rill of Casper, Wyoming. Raymond is a student in the Rice Lake High School. He was a volunteer in the World War and served with Co. A, 121st Machine Gun Battalion, 32nd Division. Clarian is a student at the State Normal School at Superior. Maurine, Antoinette and Carroll are attending the public schools. One is dead. The family faith is that of the Roman Catholic Church. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C. Cooper, Jr., & Co., 1922, pp. 195-196. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
