Searching for information on my great-great grandmother Emmerence (Marance) Bouchard was born ca. 1839 in Canada. She is daughter of Medard Bouchard & Emmerence Cyr. Emmerence Bouchard married 1866 in Napierville, Quebec to Narcisse Cyr. Emmerence & Narcisse moved to St. George, IL late 1860's. They had one son- George Arcene Cyr (1869-1961) who was a teacher throughout Iroquois & K3 Counties. Narcisse died 1870 in St. George, one year after his son's birth. Emmerence then married John Baron (John Borrow on marriage license) from Papineau on 25 April 1878 in Manteno. They had a son- John Baron Jr (14 Feb 1879 Martinton- 13 July 1946 Kankakee). John Jr is suppose to be buried at St. Marys Beaverville. They also had another son- Mose Baron/Henry Nory Baron (name on birth certificate is Mose, name on death certificate is Henry Nory Baron). Mose/Henry born 3 Oct 1880 in Martinton & died in K3 13 July 1941. These are the only 2 children that I am aware of but there may be more as I have limited info. I believe Emmerence was on the 1900 Census w/husband John. I no longer have a copy of this but my notes indicate this. Next reference is that John Sr was remarrying about 1905 which means Emmerence probably died 1900-1905 area. I've never located anything on her death/burial. I would assume it is from St. Anne to Beaverville area. I'll be further info could be found in John Baron Sr's obit if there was one. He died 20 Oct 1927 in St. Anne. Wife on death cert then says Lucy Baron. It also indicates he is buried in St. Anne Cemetary. This is alot of info but since I moved from K3 17 years ago, my research waned. I'm sure there is still some cousins there from this line. Also possibly people that remember George Cyr as a teacher. Would love to get photo of him as teachers always got their photo taken with their class. He taught grade school all around Iroquois & K3 Counties as well as Chicago. George's daughter, Mary Halbmaier is still living in K3, age 101. Thank you for any help! Bill Korstick wkorstic@ucla.edu CYR/BILADEAU/MARCOTTE/BARON/BOUCHARD
