Joseph and Susan were both listed as “French Indian”. Joseph was a woodworker and Susan was a house worker. When the 1880 census was taken, Joseph was living with his “Ke-O-Quom family in Elbridge (Oceana), Michigan. His father was a farmer. When the 1910 census was taken, there is a Joseph “Keoquon” living in the home of Louie and Elizabeth Bailey in Elbridge (Oceana), Michigan. He is 36 and single and is Louie’s brother-n-law. This seems to be the correct Joseph, but why is he listed as single and where is Susan. He is a laborer, odd jobs. When Joe Kequom registered for the WWI draft on Sept. 12, 1918, he was living at 1709 Furview in Muskegon (Muskegon), Michigan. He was a laborer for Campbell-Tryant Cannon Foundry Co. in Muskegon Heights. He said he was “partially lost sight of right eye”.

When the 1930 census was taken, this family was living in Manistique (Schoolcraft), Michigan. Joe was a laborer, woods work. From family records it appears that Joseph had a first marriage to Angeline Kewayquoum, and Gertrude was a daughter from this first marriage. However, this does not make any sense based upon the date that Joe married Susan Sharkey. Also, these family records say that Joseph’s parents were William Ke-quom and Fannie Bailey. According to family members, Joseph Kequom was the Chief of the Grand River Band of Ottawa Tribe, 1909 Elbridge (Oceana), Michigan.
