Moise-Didace CHARTIER |
MOISE (Moses) CHARTIER was a prominent citizen of St. Anne, Ill. He was the first President of the Village
Board, a position he held a number of times. He was at times School Treasurer, Supervisor of the town, and
postmaster. He was a member of the Village Board for 19 consecutive years. He was the leader of the group of men
who built the First Presbyterian Church in 1893 , which still stands today. This congregation was originally Roman Catholic started by Father Chiniquy as its priest. Father Chiniquy found it impossible to remain in communion with the Catholic Church authorities. He was suspended in 1856 and ex-communicated in 1858. Being a very charismatic person, he per¬suaded 80% of his congregation to join him in the formation of a new church, which in time became the First Presbyterian Church. This schism split families and bad feel¬ings, which still exist to some ex-tent today. Moise’s brother, Louis who was already married and living in Kankakee, remained Catholic. Moise, his father (Francois) and two older brothers, Leandre and Israel, became Protestant. The youngest brother, Raphael, was married in a Catholic Church in Brooklyn, NY. When the 1870 census was taken, this family was living in Saint Anne, Illinois. Moise was a merchant. When the 1880 census was taken, this family was still living in St. Anne. Moses was a postmaster, and Samuel was a post office clerk. Also in the household was Delia Boilard, age 20, who is listed as a niece and a school teacher. When the 1900 census was taken, this family was living in St Anne. Moise was a landlord. Also in the household was Fannie Chartier who is listed as a step daughter and John, Lada, and Annette Pallisard who are listed as step son, step daughter, and step granddaughter, respectively. Lada (Leda) was Leonie’s daughter by her first marriage to David Durand. When the 1910 census was taken, Leonie was a widow living by herself on her own income in St. Anne.
