Isabelle was a Chippewa Indian that Charles Bouc was married to for years before he married her with in the church. They had already had 6 children by the time he was allowed to return home from his military post near the Rainy Lake Indian reservation @ the boarder of Canada & Minn. Before they arrested him they terrorized him, Isabelle and their children one of them being a new born and then burned their house down. He was almost put to death but the Queen communted his his sentence to life in exile to Austrila and then about 8 yrs later pardoned him where he went and got Isabelle ( I am assuming because she & the kids disappeared after the fire they went back to the chippewas) and they settled in Sault Ste Marie. One of their daughters became prominate within the community and when she died even had a nice story about her in the paper, Sophia Bouc Gurnoe. It is just sad that Isabelle's grave can not be found because who she was before marrying within the church is lost due to the priest making her and the 5 kids take on "Christian" names. I can find NO evidence of 6 of their kids after the house fire which lead me to believe that Charles took them back to the Chippewas where they took back their given names and appearntly where they stayed for the rest of their lives.
