News: Welcome to our new site! All data from the old site (including photos) have now been uploaded (whew!)

I will now begin granting limited access to users that have requested it, however all edits will be reviewed by either Vernon CHARTIER or myself for the time being until we're sure the user knows how the new system works (and he and I are still learning it too!).

    • Name Omer CHARTIER 


      • Ohmia in 1880 census. When the 1870 census was taken, “Ohma Shasky” was in the home of his parents in Ispheming (Marquette), Mich. When the 1880 census was taken, “Ohmia Shorkey” was boarding in the home of Joseph and Emma Mayotte in Ispheming. Next door was the family of his brother, “August Shorka”. When the 1900 census was taken, this family was living 360 Harrison St. in Marquette (Marquette), Michigan. Omer was a railroad braker?. In this census both Omer and Alice said they immigrated to the U.S. in 1875. Alice also said that she was the mother of nine children, six that were living. When the 1910 census was taken, the family was still living at 360 Harrison St. Homer Shorkey was a salesman for the railroad; Vincent was a locomotive fireman; Grace was a telephone operator; and Edward was railroad teamster. Their daughter, Eva (Shorkey) Fogarty was also in the household. She said she had been in her present marriage for 7 years; but her husband was not in the household. When Alice died, she was living at 360 Harrison St. in Marquette. When Homer Shorkey married Celina (King) Hebert, he was employed as a passenger brakeman on the M. M. & S. E. train running between Marquette and Little Lake. Celina’s first husband was Alexander Hebert. The marriage between Homer and Celina did not last long because in about 1920 she is found married to George Castle, first in Racine, Wisconsin and later in Essexville, Michigan. Homer may have died shortly after they were married, because he can not be found in either the 1920 or 1930 censuses. However, he filed a Declaration of Intention to become a citizen on 16 May 1919; and he received his Naturalization Papers on 11 Feb 1924. When he filed his “Declaration of Intention” he was a railroader, and when he became naturalized he was a carpenter. In these papers he said he was born in Ste-Elie, Quebec; the he emigrated to the U.S. via the Grand Trunk Railway from Montreal on or about the 15 May 1867and arrived in Detroit on 25 May 1867.
