Laberteaux (b. 1825, d. 1866) married to Matilda Maria Shumway. She was born in North Adams, Berkshire Co., MA as the daughter of Parley and Eusabra Shumway. In the 1870 MI census, Matilda and Carrie (age 9) are residing on a farm in Calhoun Co. with a farm hand, John Paxton. The 1880 census lists her as married to John Paxton. In this census she is described as: age 48, wife, keeping house and "sick with consumption". John & Matilda are buried at the Hotchkiss Cemetery in Marshall Township. The only further notes I have for Carrie are that she was one of only two family members present at her 97 year old grandmother's funeral in 1900, Pleadus Coleman Laberteaux. She married a James P. King Oct. 12, 1887 in Calhoun Co.
