Archie was listed as 35, a stone cutter, b. in Canada and parents b. in Canada. In 1900 he was listed as living at the City Hospital/Orphanage, a butcher and b. Nov. 1847 Adaline in 1880 was 31, b. in NYS, parents b. in Canada; she wasn't on the 1900 census. If Adaline died in Ogdensburg, you may be able to get a death cert. from the city or the state. The 1880 census showed the children were all born in NY: Louisa 13, Nellie 11, Addie (f) 7, Emma 6, Archibald 7, and Charles 7 mo.'s. The 1900 Census showed Archie with 3 children: Emma, Archie Jr., and Charlie. My email is: mpasko@twcny.rr.com I'm a Menard descendent. If you need help getting the census info., let me know.
