| "Only one family of the generation of nieces and nephews spoke the patois. These were the unmarried chi1dren of her sister, Emma Campau Chartier, who had married a neighbor of the family in Harrison Township. Six of the Chartier children had remained at home and continued to use the patois, but they were not much younger than their aunt, and only one, Elmer Chartier, survived her. At this time he lives on the Chartier family homestead in Harrison Township with his widowed sister, Ruth Chartier Lowe." (Johnlyn Sherbeck VanLooy)19 |
