This maybe your first request. My first home was purchased from a descendent of this Thomure line. The home though was not located in or around the area mentioned below. I have seen the name of "River aux Vasse" many times but am unfamiliar how to pronounce it. Suggestions or answers? ----- Original Message ----- From: Melanie Rickmar To: mostfran@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 9:21 PM Subject: [MOSTFRAN] Obituary of Theresa (Janis) Thomure (1915) FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, December 10, 1915 Mrs. Theresa Thomure, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this county, died at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Lalumondiere at River aux Vasse Monday night, November 29, 1915, aged 90 years, 2 months and 4 days.
