SARAH GAGNON
INVALID FOR FIVE YEARS IS SUMMONED
Came To Two Rivers When There were But Four Houses on East Side
A resident of Two Rivers for 63 years, coming to this city when Two
Rivers was a small fishing village of a few score residents, Mrs.
Sarah Gagnon, 85, widow of the late Joseph Gagnon, pioneer Two Rivers
fisherman, passed away Tuesday afternoon at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. William Taddy, 1608 East street, with whom she made her home.
Suffering a broken hip in a fall five years ago, Mrs. Gagnon has been
an invalid since that time, being cared for in a wheel chair, but
despite her affliction bore up cheerfully and never complained. The
past few weeks she has failed rapidly and the end came yesterday.
Her passing marks the demise of one of the oldest residents of Two
Rivers, as she came here with her husband in 1865 when there were
but four houses on the east side.
Born in Canada.
Her maiden name was Sarah Bolsvort and she was born at Wickham,
Canada. Shortly after her marriage to Mr. Gagnon she removed with
him to Two Rivers where Mr. Gagnon engaged in the fishing business
and where the deceased cared for the home and brought up a family
in the pioneer days of the city. Mr. Gagnon passed away 32 years
ago. Three daughters, Mrs. Davis LeClair, Mrs. Jacob Geimer, town
of Two Rivers, and Mrs. Wm. Taddy, three sons, Edward of East
Blackstone, Mass., Urban and Joseph of Two Rivers, and one sister,
Mrs. LaBelle of Saskatchewan, Canada, survive. Burial will take
place on Friday morning at 9 o’clock from the St. Luke’s Catholic
church with interment at Calvary cemetery.
