1 NOTE 1907 - Joseph Charles Pehoushek was born at home at 3740 30th Ave. So. Minneapolis, MN. Hous
2 CONC e is gone in 1991. But location is visible, one-half block North of 38th Street, near Hiawath
2 CONC a Ave. intersection. House stood where Hiawatha boulevard now runs. Alleyway behind house sti
2 CONC ll intact. Visited and photographed in 1991 by JWP & JCP.
2 CONT 
2 CONT He was named after his father, Joseph James Pehoushek and probably his Uncle Charles Pehoushe
2 CONC k, although he also had an Uncle Charles Praus and a grandfather Charles V. Praus.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1909 - 1915  He went to Texas with family about 1909. Was in Colorado County Texas, outside E
2 CONC agle Lake on 25-26 April 1910 at time of U.S. Census. The family stayed until about 1915. Fat
2 CONC her Joseph James was a "Truck Farmer". Lived in small house about 3-4 miles North or NE of Ea
2 CONC gle Lake Texas. He was visited at least once by Uncle Jack Praus who was 7 years older than J
2 CONC CP.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1915 - The family returned to Mpls, living at 619 20th Ave. South, in the lower half of a two
2 CONC -story duplex, where he remembers ice skating on his "strap-on" skates on the sidewalk in fro
2 CONC nt of the house. He lived here about a year around 1915-1916. He says they were poor enough t
2 CONC hat his mother rented out the front room to a boarder. The house is still there when visite
2 CONC d by JWP & JCP in May 1991.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Went to a school across the street from Grandma Praus' home at 327 20th or 21st Ave So (192
2 CONC 0 Census shows other families at both of these addresses). Dad thinks the school was named Cl
2 CONC ay. To the south a block or so was the old Bohemian Catholic Church "Our Lady of Perpetual He
2 CONC lp", Father Havorka attending.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1916 - About 1916 or 17 the family had moved to 656 Erie St. S.E. This was torn down when the
2 CONC y built the "new" Motley School (now, in 1991, gone). The original Motley School was on the N
2 CONC orthwest corner of Oak St. and Washington Ave. In later years Stub and Herb Lewis ran a bee
2 CONC r joint across the street. JCP went to Motley school with them and 40 years later his son JW
2 CONC P and future daughter-in-law CCP had one of their first dates there on July 14th, 1957 shortl
2 CONC y after they met.
2 CONT 
2 CONT ca 1920 - While living at 656 Erie, his Dad, JJP rented the building at 630 (or 636) Erie Str
2 CONC eet and opened a store in it. This store was in operation for 3 or 4 years into 1920.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1918 - The family moved into a lower four-plex at 624 Erie St. S.E. Mpls. in 1918 and staye
2 CONC d there until 1920. JWP has a book "Beautiful Joe" given to JCP by his father, JJP, with insc
2 CONC ription "To Joseph from Father", 624 Erie St. S.E., April 17, 1919. Also a book "Black Beauty
2 CONC " with the 624 Erie St. address and his name in it. Attended Motley grade school near home o
2 CONC n Erie St. until at least June 1920. Then went East high School until unceremoniously transfe
2 CONC rred to South High School because of some infraction of East's rules !
2 CONT 
2 CONT Rosemary says they lived at 636 Erie St. in a fourplex from 1917 to 1922, and farther down Er
2 CONC ie (lower number) for about a year.
2 CONT 
2 CONT At about this same time, his grandfather, Frantisek, owned a small store at 126 Warwick Stree
2 CONC t, while Frantiseks wife, and some of his children lived at 639 Erie Street.  JWP & JCP visit
2 CONC ed 639 Erie in May 1991. It was just purchased by the daughter of the 3rd owner since Frantis
2 CONC ek.
2 CONT

2 CONC ntil 1942 when he joined Northwest Airlines to serve the war effort.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Played baseball and footbal in various Minneapolis City Leagues under the name Joe "Peck", be
2 CONC cause "I got tired of all the different spellings". Robert Skonnord related many incidents o
2 CONC f his adventures with JCP to me (JWP) while they were both youths. Bob says that Joe ran arou
2 CONC nd, played ball with a really rough group of men. There was considerable brawling and drinkin
2 CONC g around and after the various games. JCP was usually the peacemaker in various scraps.

1 NOTE Apr 1846- born  Boehmen Koenigreich, Austria [IGI]
2 CONT 
2 CONT 15 Jan 1846 - Frantizek Pechoušek probably born in Budyn District (Budyn N'Ohre about 25km N
2 CONC W of Melnik), Bohemia, Austro-Hungary according to his death certificate information supplie
2 CONC d by his wife Rose.  Other documents show different dates:  1900 Census shows born April 1846
2 CONC , 54 years old on 9 Jun 1900;  1910 Census on 20 April 1910 shows 66 yrs old; his "Residenc
2 CONC y Certificate" cover sheet shows born 28 Jan 1846.1920 Census has him at 79 yrs.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Born or lived in Turmitz, Bohemia (now Trmice, 2-3 km SW of Usti nad Labem)) on Aussig ? Rive
2 CONC r, reportedly near Prague. However, since his Father and his younger brother were both born i
2 CONC n Melnik, it is safe to assume that he was as well. Perhaps Turmitz (now Trmice) is in Distri
2 CONC ct Melnik. Otakar Prachar reports in letter to me (3/26/95) "While in the area during our 197
2 CONC 8 visit I found there were 3 Vrutice villages: Melnicka Vrutice, Kropocova Vrutice, Benatsk
2 CONC a Vrutice. Note that Melnicka is the possesive form of Melnik, i.e. Melnicka Vrutice means Vr
2 CONC utice of Melnik (district)"
2 CONT 
2 CONT Reportedly was a seaman in German Navy. Then settled down, bought a small flour mill in Melni
2 CONC k, Bohemia, but was a very impractical businessman. Uncle Charlie reportedly took photograph
2 CONC s of the mill on one of his "trips back home".
2 CONT 
2 CONT The following from Grand Daughter Kay LaPlante, "to be taken with a grain of salt: Frank wa
2 CONC s a 'baron' with ties to an important family that once owned a large estate.  During an uphea
2 CONC val (many years before Frank's time), the family was forced to flee, but before they left the
2 CONC y buried the family treasure under a stone wall that surrounded the property.  The loot was n
2 CONC ever found, and to this day the family ghosts moan and cry over the treasure site
2 CONT 
2 CONT Borrowed $700 from brother Karel (after Karel and Josephine immigrated to Russia with 4 child
2 CONC ren). Went bankrupt. Got job on a merchant vessel. This story may hold a clue as to how he ca
2 CONC me to the U.S.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1 Jan 1884 - A partial translation of a Declaration I have shows him canceling a lease he ha
2 CONC d on a flour mill at No. 45 Cenkov, called the Kopacov Mill, from the Horovive dominion. He h
2 CONC ad leased it from 1 Jan 1884 to end of Dec 1889. Cenkov is East of Hiway E55, about 15km N. o
2 CONC f Prague, about 2 km SE of Odolena Voda. Are visited by JWP in 2001. THIS IS PROBABLY INCORRE
2 CONC CT.... There is another Cenkov, 2 km SE of Jince, 10 km SE of Horovice, 13 km N of Pribram, w
2 CONC hich is probably the correct place.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 2 Oct 1887 -  According to a translation of the Declaration document, he cancels the lease o
2 CONC n Oct 2. 1887. This was, apparently shortly before he came to the U.S. We know he was in Bohe
2 CONC mia at least until the end of March 1888 because wife Rosalie gave birth to her last child bo
2 CONC rn in Bohemia (Mina) in Dec 1888. We believe he came alone to the U.S. Death Certificate say
2 CONC s on 20 Nov 1920 he had been in the U.S. 32 years. Was here for sure by 3 July 1893 when he b
2 CONC ought Life Insurance from Lodge.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1888 - Came to U.S. in 1888 (1887 According to 1900 Census data, 1890 according to 1910 censu
2 CONC s, 1892 by 1920 census, and 1879 by some family notes). Date uncertain because daughter Minni
2 CONC e (Mina) was born Dec 1888 in Bohemia. So when did Frantizek leave Bohemia? He cancelled flou
2 CONC r mill lease in Oct 1887.  Most likely sometime after March 1888 when Mina would have been co
2 CONC nceived. Was the only brother to immigrate to United States. Reportedly landed in New Orlean
2 CONC s as a ship crewman, probably out of Hamburg. Some family stories say he landed in New York a
2 CONC nd promptly had his luggage stolen, including his papers. Family lore also says he intended t
2 CONC o go to St. Paul, because he was a miller, but because of language difficulties, he ended u
2 CONC p in St. Louis by mistake. So he walked from St. Louis, Mo to St. Paul, Minnesota. Made his w
2 CONC ay to Minneapolis with the goal of getting a job at Pillsbury Mills. Worked at all kinds of c
2 CONC ommon labor in Minneapolis. He wound up working in a cigar factory in St. Paul because Pillsb
2 CONC ury wouldn't hire him until he could speak English. He was fairly well educated for his time
2 CONC . Could speak German which was the official language in Austria-Hungary. Before they left Eur
2 CONC ope, none of the children had been allowed to speak Bohemian in school.This point is disputab
2 CONC le, as children of other brothers spoke Bohemian and passed it along to their children - as r
2 CONC eported by Otakar Prachar, who speaks Czech. Grandpa Frank deplored this and started small cl
2 CONC asses for immigrant children in Bohemian when they settled in Minneapolis.  He also spoke som
2 CONC e French and did wind up working briefly for Pillsbury Mills. 1900 Census says he was a "Mill
2 CONC er".
2 CONT 
2 CONT Newspaper story of "Aunt Bess's" death says Frantizek came in 1888, then he brought Frank an
2 CONC d Bertha in 1890, then his wife and FOUR youngest children in 1893. This doesn't account fo
2 CONC r Wilhelmina who reportedly had been born in Bohemia. 1910 census says Rosalie, Bertha,Charle
2 CONC s and Mina came in 1894 (Joseph James probably came in 1894 too, but he had moved from home b
2 CONC y 1910 census). Because Veronica was born in Minnesota in 1894, I believe Rosalie and childre
2 CONC n came in 1893.
2 CONT 
2 CONT ca. 1890 - "Two years after arriving bought a small house and lot for $900, then sent for fam
2 CONC ily". [Family legend]
2 CONT 
2 CONT 29 March 1893 - When young Frank died, Frantizek was living at 736 Lenox. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT 3 July 1893 - Was member of the "Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen of the St
2 CONC ate of Minnesota, Bridal Veil Lodge No. 108"... carried $2000 Beneficiary Certificate (Insura

2 CONT Correspondence from Mildred Prachar Peterson May 1995 in hands of J. W. Pehoushek names his c

2 CONT 
2 CONT According to Charles Pechoušek in Sept. 2001, Karel was a blacksmith. He also lived in Budy
2 CONC n and had a flour mill.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Emigrated to Russia with Josephine and four children after loaning brother Frantizek $700. Mo
2 CONC ved to Russia in 1885, Anna Plzak going with them. "His death was largely result of hardship
2 CONC s during WW I: fleeing with son's family from fighting, becoming separated from them, etc." .
2 CONC .. Helen Pehoushek.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "Her (Emma Pechousek) father, Karel, left Melnicka Vrutice in the 1880s and immigrated to Rus
2 CONC sia with his family to pursue his vocation of miller." ...... Otakar Prachar
2 CONT 
2 CONT Karel contracted pnuemonia and nearly died.  Couldn't work for months. The family was destitu
2 CONC te and Josephine sold off every precious piece from her dowry.  They wrote to Frantizek for m
2 CONC oney, but none ever came.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Karel was also an alcoholic and even though a very good millwright he had a terrible time kee
2 CONC ping a job.  "I never heard this story from anyone except his daughter, Emma Prachar.  My fat
2 CONC her and his daughter Anna had the greatest respect for their father.  was a religious man (a
2 CONC t sunrise on Easter Sundays always knelt in prayer in his garden. Family had many quotes of h
2 CONC is humurous sayings)"...Helen Pehoushek
2 CONT 
2 CONT "My mother was apparently more sensitive to her father's occasional intemperance and the effe
2 CONC ct it had on their welfare.  She also loved and respected her father. I remember her crying s
2 CONC oftly upon learning of his death after WWI.  A large framed picture of him had a prominent pl
2 CONC ace in our home." ..... Otakar Prachar
2 CONT 
2 CONT "My mother loved her father very much as did all the children.  She knew more about the circu
2 CONC mstances than did the older boys, like Helen's father, who had all left home- some of them ma
2 CONC rried by that time. She never used the term "alcoholic", never spoke of her father being drun
2 CONC k or abusive.  What he did was stop at the tavern on payday and blow most of his wages, mor
2 CONC e like an irresponsible bachelor than a family man.  Perhaps he found some solace in vodka af
2 CONC ter the death of his beloved wife (at 43 years)." ......... Mildred Prachar Peterson
2 CONT 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Peterson, Mildred E. in private Correspondence to J. W. Pehoushek enclosed a copy of a lette
2 CONC r from "Uncle Josef after World War I". It reads, in part "our beloved father died while we w
2 CONC ere still in Berenstva u Charnovski. He was sick all winter with stomach problems until he fi
2 CONC nally died. Fana came in the evening from Poltava, and in the morning he died. The 21st of Ma

1 NOTE 1877 - Sigel Granville Dyer was born on the family farm [according to daughter Mary Jane] loc
2 CONC ated in Bethel,MN. This farm is on the west side of the present Hiway 65 at what was called "
2 CONC Dyer's Corner" or 220th St. It is across the road from a Methodist Church (now moved farthe
2 CONC r down the road - May 2001). This intersection is about 20 miles north of the Minneapolis Cit
2 CONC y limits. It is the original homestead land obtained by Jane S. Mitchell and passed down to S
2 CONC igel's father Stephen S. Dyer. It is now owned by an Atkins descendant.  His actual date of b
2 CONC irth is not clear. His Birth Certificate, registered in 1877, says 15 May 1877. His daughte
2 CONC r Mary Jane Dyer says "My father always celebrated his birthday on May 24th. A family bible r
2 CONC ecord says May 24th 1877. However, when Dad was getting ready to retire, he had to get his bi
2 CONC rth certificate, and I remember him coming back from Isanti County saying they had him liste
2 CONC d as being born on May 17. We asked how that could have happened and he said his father didn'
2 CONC t get to the county seat to register Dad's birth until maybe a month later. So I suppose Gran
2 CONC dpa Dyer just said well, I guess it was about the 17th of May, and that's what went in the bo
2 CONC oks". His death certificate says 24 May 1877.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Family tradition has it that he was named Sigel after the last name of a Civil War General (U
2 CONC nion Army?) admired by his father, Stephen S., and named Granville after a town in Pennsylvan
2 CONC ia that Stephen S. passed through when he came from New Brunswick. This is plausible as Steph
2 CONC en S. would have been about 20 years old when he came with his mother and siblings.  That the
2 CONC y passed through Pennsylvania is unknown. However, Stephen's future wife, Rocselana M. Coope
2 CONC r born and lived in Pennsylvania until her parents brought her to Minnesota. However, The Coo
2 CONC pers came to Minnesota before 1860 [1860 US Census, Anoka Co.] so I doubt that the Dyer's mig
2 CONC ration path in 1866 had anything to do with the Coopers living in Pennsylvania six years earl
2 CONC ier.  There is also a town in Nova Scotia (now New Brunswick, along the SE shore of Cumberlan
2 CONC d Bay on Grand Lake in Queens Co.), (also one in Hampshire Co., Mass) called Granville. It i
2 CONC s more likely that Granville comes from Stephen's second cousin, Benjamin Granville Jackson
2 CONC , who was about the same age as Stephen and at about the time of Sigel's birth had just saile
2 CONC d around Cape Horn with his brother Samuel.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Note: The 1880 US Census,MN, Anoka Co. p5 SD 3 ED 46 shows what looks like "Franz S Male ag
2 CONC e 3". Was he named something else at birth.?  Other sources have said that Freeman Dyer (b. 1

1 NOTE 1846 - Stephen S. Dyer was born in New Brunswick, probably in Blissfield Parish along the S
2 CONC W Branch of the Miramichi River. Stephen's son Sigel Dyer told the 1900 U.S.census taker tha
2 CONC t his father (Stephen S.) was born in "Canada (Scotch)". Stephen's death certificate shows fa
2 CONC ther born  "Mirmichi, New Brunswick".  That he is the son of Jane S. Dyer is shown in the pro
2 CONC bate petition for administration by Stephen S. Dyer, who "represents that he is the son of Sa
2 CONC id Jane Dyer deceased:..".   [ copy of document in possession of JWP ]  His parents were farm
2 CONC ers on land in the area. At the time of Stephen's birth they apparently farmed the Lots #7 an
2 CONC d 8, Blissfield Parish, Northumberland Co., New Brunswick. These lots were on the "Queen's Ro
2 CONC ad" right abutting the River, a few miles downstream from Doaktown, Northumberland County.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Louise M. Bamford, a cousin, says Stephens middle name is Silas. She said she found this in h
2 CONC er extensive Mitchell family research, but does not know where.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1846 - 1866 - Stephen probably lived on the land with his family until they left for Minnesot
2 CONC a when he was about 20 years old.  See notes with father, John B. Dyer.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1865 - Granddaughter Helen Romano's notes say Stephen "came to Minnesota with his parents an
2 CONC d sisters in 1865 (probably incorrect year, see below).  He built roads in the area.  He wa
2 CONC s kicked by a horse and was crippled the rest of his life and unable to work."
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1865 - There is no Anoka Co. 1865 census at the Minn. History Center.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1866 - Report filed 7 May 1866, Stephen appears on a Blissfield Parish tax list of "Names o
2 CONC f transient men in the Parish of Blissfield liable to be taxed". He is charged 44 cents pol
2 CONC l tax, has $36 Income, and a total tax amount of 80 cents. [PANB RS153 C7/14 Tax Assessment L
2 CONC ist Blissfield 1866] Because he was not assessed any property tax, he was not a land owner.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1866-1867 Was it Stephen Dyer who was the "Dyer who convinced" Stephen Jones Jackson (of Loo
2 CONC n Bay,NB) to move to Royalton,MN ?  They were 2nd cousins.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1867 - A document "Proof Required Under Homestead Acts May 20th 1862 and June 21, 1866", file
2 CONC d by John Doherty and Elisha Day (I believe they were in Anoka County by 1856) swearing to th
2 CONC eir knowing Stephen S. Dyer for 6 1/2 years on 16th October 1873, suggests strongly that Step
2 CONC hen was in Minnesota by April 1867.  Doherty and Day, in the same document state that Jane Dy
2 CONC er "entered upon and made settlement on said land on the 2d day of January 1867."  So perhap
2 CONC s Stephen, at age 20, came a few months after his mother.[National Archives Record Group #49
2 CONC , Taylor's Falls, MN Homestead file #462].
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1870 - Stephen married Rocselana Minard Cooper.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1874 - 1881 - Stephen inherited land along with all of his brothers and sisters. from his mot
2 CONC her. See Final Settlement of estate of Jane Dyer (see Notes: Jane Susannah Mitchell).  His br
2 CONC other, William, left the area and all of his sisters married.  So Stephen lived on the famil
2 CONC y farm.
2 CONT 
2 CONT This property (described in Probate above), in 1997, is on the southwest corner at a road cro
2 CONC ssing Minn Hiway 65, at DYER's Corner. A sign on the east side points to Sylvester Bros. Lumb

2 CONT 
2 CONT ca 1805 - Birthdate. Although his tombstone reads b. 18 Mar 1804, this stone was no doubt ere
2 CONC cted quite some time after his death.  All other references found so far which have the 18 Ma
2 CONC r 1804 date come from the tombstone.  The most reliable source found so far is the 1851 New B
2 CONC runswick Census in which he is stated to be 45, therefore born summer 1806. Is it possible th
2 CONC at Daniel and John B. were the same child?
2 CONT 
2 CONT I have found no direct evidence of John B. Dyer's parents. The parents of James Dyer are show
2 CONC n on James' Death Certificate as Stephan & Margaret Dyer. It is widely inferred, but not prov
2 CONC en that James is John B.'s brother. Therefore, it is not assured that John B. DYER's parent
2 CONC s were Stephen & Margaret DYER.
2 CONT 
2 CONT According to data created by Great Granddaughter Helen Romano, sent by Brad Parks to JWP: "Jo
2 CONC hn Dyer was descended from ancestors that were loyal subjects of the King. The Dyers lived i
2 CONC n Maine but after the war were given land grants in New Brunswick by the English Government
2 CONC .  He and his family moved to Minnesota in 1856 and he died the next year.  He was the firs
2 CONC t one to be buried in the new cemetery which was just north of Cooper's Corner." Helen offer
2 CONC s no evidence of any of this information.
2 CONT 
2 CONT John B. Dyer was born 18 Mar 1804, according to his tombstone.  The 1875 and 1905 MN Census o
2 CONC f son Stephen, and the 1880 Census of daughter Fanny say John B. was born in Maine. The 188
2 CONC 0 Census of son Stephen and daughters Abbie and Mary Ann and the 1851 NB Census of John B. sa
2 CONC ys born NB.  Because the 1851 Census of John B. himself is most credible, I believe he was bo
2 CONC rn in New Brunswick. Because Stephan and Margaret lived in the Calais, Maine area - immediate
2 CONC ly adjacent to St. Stephen, New Brunswick - and many of Stephen's children were baptised in S
2 CONC t. Stephen,NB - and because the area was variously in the possession of the US and Canada
2 CONC , a person could reasonably claim birth in either country.
2 CONT 
2 CONT That there is no baptism record at the Kirk McColl church in St. Stephen, NB as there is fo
2 CONC r his siblings preceeding (Daniel) and following (Jeremiah) is probably due to the fact tha
2 CONC t the record in the "J" books jumps from a baptism on March 5, 1801 to one on July 5, 1805
2 CONC .  This is curious because, although these records are strangely kept alphabetically by GIVE
2 CONC N name, there almost certainly had to be children named James, John, Joseph or Jane baptise
2 CONC d in that 4 1/2 year period.  This "gap" is not a case of missing pages, because it appears o
2 CONC n the same page. Therefore, I wonder if the "J" baptisms for those years were kept elsewhere
2 CONC .  A careful search of all Kirk McColl records is called for. HOWEVER - there is a record o
2 CONC f a Daniel, son of Stephen Dyer b. 23 Feb 1804, bapt. 29 Sept. 1804 in the Kirk McColl Baptis
2 CONC m record.  I believe this is John B. whose name either was entered incorrectly in the book, o
2 CONC r who was renamed later but before his brother Daniel W. was born.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Is his middle name Benjamin ?  John B.'s grandson (son of Margaret), born two years after hi
2 CONC s death, was named John Benjamin Dyer.
2 CONT 
2 CONT The story of several parcels of land in Northumberland County, NB tell a bit about the John B
2 CONC . Dyer family.  In 1809 the original Ephraim Betts Grant in Ludlow Parish - Andrew Green rece

2 CONC e known as 'Dyers Corners'. In fall of 1856, John contracted lung fever and died at age 52."
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1856 - Is the "sister, Mrs. Lewis" really Lewis Mitchell & family (brother of Jane Mitchel
2 CONC l - John B's wife) ? Lewis came to Bethel 1856 as well.  It was common practice in those day
2 CONC s for the spouse of a family whose surname was common to be called "Mrs. (Given name", e.g. "
2 CONC Mrs. Lewis" would be wife of Lewis Mitchell, as opposed to "Mrs. Stephen" or "Mrs. Charles" a

2 CONT 
2 CONT 1856 - The first settlement in Bethel was made in the Northern part of the town in the sprin

1 NOTE 1814 - Jane Susannah Mitchell was probably born in Blissfield Parish where her parents were l
2 CONC iving at the time. [See William Mitchell]. Her middle name, Susannah, was the given name in a
2 CONC t least five earlier generations on her maternal side.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1833 - She married John B. Dyer.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1835 - 1854 Jane and John B. had all of their children in New Brunswick. The last being bor

2 CONT 
2 CONT 1856 - Apparently Jane did not travel to Minnesota with John B.  If she did, she returned t

2 CONT 
2 CONT 1861 - Jane and children Rebecca, Stephen & James (William James?) appear in 1861 NB Census i
2 CONC n Blissfield. She is listed between Peter & Frances (Mitchell) Harris and Stephen Mitchell. S
2 CONC o she was living with one or the other of them, with her children. Whereas, in 1851, the Joh
2 CONC n B. Dyer family was located between Thomas Dunphy and James Robinson, apparently on lot
2 CONC s 7 & 8.   The early 1860's were difficult times in MN with Indian uprisings. The "Sioux Mass
2 CONC acre" was in 1862. With husband dead, Jane stayed away. The Rev. John Mitchell (Jane's nephew
2 CONC ) reportedly stayed in Aroostook Co. for some time before moving on to Minnesota.  Did Jane a
2 CONC nd family travel with him? Jane is found in Blissfield as late as 25 Feb 1865.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1865 - No Dyers appear in 1857 Minn. Territory census. There is no copy of the Anoka Co. page
2 CONC s of 1865 Minn Census at Minn. Hist. Soc. John B. Dyer died 1856. Jane (Mitchell) Dyer was i

2 CONT 
2 CONT prob. 1856 - 1866  From Louise Bamford card file: "DYER HOUSE: Jane Mitchell, dau of Willia
2 CONC m and Susannah Sutter Mitchell, md 5 Dec 1833 John B. Dyer. Their house was built on the Mitc
2 CONC hell property in the hollow down below the Mitchell cemetery between Almira's home and our mo
2 CONC ther's home. (This location is not supported by data, however - the 1861 census does show Jan
2 CONC e and some children living with Lewis and other Mitchells.  So perhaps some house was built f
2 CONC or her after they lost the Dyer  farm.). John Dyer moved his family to Fredericton by doubl
2 CONC e wagon and then they went on to Bethel, Minn. After the Dyer house became vacant it was use
2 CONC d for the first school house with Mr. DeBurke as teacher. DeBurke's fishing hole is directl
2 CONC y in front of the Dyer House."
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1865 - In data created by Helen Romano: "Jane Dyer was widowed just a year after moving to Mi
2 CONC nnesota. She raised her family on the farm they had bought and it still remains in the family
2 CONC .  She also was buried at the same cemetery as her husband." That she arrived in Minnesota WI
2 CONC TH John B. Dyer is not substantiated. In fact, she was in NB at least until 1861 where she ap
2 CONC pears in the Blissfield Census. She also appears in church records on 25 Feb 1865 in Blissfie
2 CONC ld. In some later Minnesota census records she, as well as some of her children, is reporte
2 CONC d to arrive in MN in 1866. So whether she came with John B. then returned to NB when he died
2 CONC , or she stayed in NB until 1866 is not clear.  Since there is little evidence that she wen
2 CONC t to Minnesota in 1856, and the fact she appears in 1861 and 1865 in N.B., I believe she stay
2 CONC ed in N.B. until she and her children left in 1865 or 1866.

2 CONT 
2 CONT A correspondent, referring to the late death of an aged settler widow of the late William Mit
2 CONC chell says:
2 CONT 
2 CONT "Deceased was one the first settlers on the South West Branch of the Miramichi. Her father, J
2 CONC ames Sutter, emigrated from Paisley Scotland, landed in St. John, New Brunswick.  Afterward m
2 CONC oved to Musquash Island, where the deceased was born, subsequently removed to Fredricton wher
2 CONC e he lived with his family seven years afterwards, took a farm on the Miramichi in the wilder
2 CONC ness.
2 CONT 
2 CONT When the deceased was 13 years old she crossed the Portage on snowshoes with her father. [Not
2 CONC e from Almira...."What they called the Portage was a path along the river, where they went o
2 CONC n horseback or walked, as there was no roads at that time.  It is 58 miles from Fredericton t
2 CONC o Doaktown."]  At 16 years old (MacKinnon says 14, p40), she married William Mitchell survivi
2 CONC ng her husband 21 years, endured many hardships that those only know who settle in the wilder
2 CONC ness under her circumstances. As the place where she lived to the day of her death became set
2 CONC tled, she was called upon to attend the sick; if sickness did not prevent, she visited them s
2 CONC ometimes on foot, sometimes in a canoe, on snowshoes, or horseback as the season of the yea
2 CONC r and conditions of the road and travelling would permit.
2 CONT 
2 CONT She was kind to the poor, and as she grew older, she had means to relieve the  many who wer
2 CONC e in want, and never turned empty away who sought her relief.
2 CONT 
2 CONT She experienced religion under the preaching of Rev. Mr. Bruice and was baptized by the Rev
2 CONC . Mr. Magee some 46 years ago, and she was a consistent member of the Baptist Church until sh
2 CONC e died.  She had six children, four of whom are now living, 46 grandchildren and a number o
