Catherine Boucha of Naubinway Passed Away in 90th Year
Mrs. Catherine Boucha, the aged widow of William Boucha, died Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Beaudoin of Newberry, where she and Mrs. LeClerc were visiting. The remains were brought to St. Ignace and interment took place in the Catholic cemetery here from the home of Mrs. John Vallier, a daughter of deceased, where she had spent much of her time of late especially since Mrs. Cornelius Gallagher, another daughter, left the city.
The funeral service was held at St. Ignatius church Monday morning, Rev. Fr. Holland celebrating requiem high mass. The pall bearers were Frank Vallier, Joseph Vallier, M. Hoban, John Kolar, G. A. Rapin, M. McGrath.
Mrs. Boucha was born in Petoskey in 1831, but at an early age of about five years was taken as an orphan into the home of John Biddle, then or later clerk of Mackinac county. She was buried in St. Ignatius church in this city, her husband and she taking up their residence at Naubinway, where they remained until Mr. Boucha died, some years ago. Officially, the business portion of Naubinway is known as the "Village of Boucha."
Mr. and Mrs. Boucha were the parents of sixteen children, of whom there were surviving, the following six daughters: Mrs. Frank Blake, of Olympia, Wash., Mrs. John Vallier of St. Ignace, Mrs. C. B. Gallagher of Toledo, Mrs. Agnes Leclerc of Detroit, Mrs. Fred Wood of Rexton, Mrs. David Beaudoin of Newberry, and three sons, William Boucha of Lake of the Woods, George and Joseph Boucha, both of Naubinway. The last named conducts the old Boucha farm there. Only recently the Republican-News gave the news of the death of a daughter of deceased, Mrs. Johnson, of Virginia, Minn.
News of Mrs. Boucha's death was a great surprise to St. Ignace relatives. She was in the best of health -- as indeed except for the decay incident to her advanced years -- she enjoyed mostly all the time, even a days prior to her death she was actively assisting her daughter in 'putting up' huckleberries; it seems an attack of dysentery assailed her and in three days she passed away. News reached Mrs. Vallier by telephone that the remains would be brought here for their final resting place besides that of her husband who was buried in St. Ignatius cemetery fifteen years ago.
All who knew the deceased testify to her admirable qualities. As wife, mother, grandmother, and neighbor and friend she was the object of conjugal love, filial affection and depth of esteem by those who were related to or associated with her. Veneration for her memory was shown in the large attendance at the funeral; she was a devout Catholic in faith and practice and those dearest to her will remember her in their prayers for the repose of her soul and for her eternal happiness and peace.
