Harriet- I don't know if the Larue family from Bay City Michigan is related to this family as the Larue you are looking for was in Vermont, but you did mention Bay City. The Larue/LaRue families in Bay City were L'heureux in Quebec. They came to Bay City in the late 1870s from Trois Rivieres, or Ste. Anne de la Perade. I see a number of L'heureux families in Vermont and Massachusetts, too, so that is the name I would be looking for. Bridget
