Statement of Louisa Carpenter. (Taken August, 1901.) "My father was Louis Laramie, a Canadian Frenchman. I am 57 years old (summer, 1901) and a widow. I was born here at Traverse in 1844. My father was in the employ of the Fur Company at Traverse many years before I was born, but I do not know when he came here. His first wife died here and was probably buried in the little French cemetery. He married my mother at Mendota about 1842 or 1843. Mother was his second wife. Father Ravoux married them. Mother`s maiden name was Mary Red Iron, daughter of the old Chief Red Iron. Father was much older than mother. He died at Traverse on January 1st, 1863, soon after the Indians were hung in Mankato. Mother was a full blooded Sioux.
