A few notes Re: Elizabeth LaPlante/Joseph Bertrand The following is taken from an article in a file on Joseph Bertrand - "Joseph Sr. married again the 2nd of January 1853 to a widow, Elizabeth LaPlante in Bertrand. Sometime in the mid l850's, probably 1855, he and his second wife moved to St. Mary's, Kansas, to be near his children. There he died the 8th of September 1865 and she died the 5th of November 1865. They are both buried in the Catholic cemetary at St. Mary's." It also stated that Joseph was 75 when he died and Elizabeth was 50. In another article it mentioned that Elizabeth was the widow of Charles L'Huissier. Her given name was - Elizabeth Ann Jackson. There was no mention that Elizabeth had any children of her own. Also, I tried to find her in census around here and she just does not show up, nor does Charles. Hope this little bit helps in some way. BB
