No further mention is made up to 1890. I found a Michael Prevost , laborer, res 1001 Campbell, Bay City in the 1883 directory and in the following year I found Acante, laborer, bds F Prevost, Essexville; Felix, laborer WB Rouse, res n s Water 1 e of Woodside ave, Essexville; Mrs. Felix, tailoress Octavius Boucher; Felix jr, laborer JR Hall, bds F Prevose, Essexville; Midrie, lab WB Rouse, bds F Prevost, Essexville. The city directories only list working people so do not list children and wives at home--at least not in the early ones. Good luck!!
