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!).

NOTE: The maps feature does not seem to work well on GOOGLE Chrome, so use the internet browser bundled with Windows.

    • Name Sophronie A. (Sophie) CHARTIER 


      • Sophronia and her first husband may have never had a legal marriage, but this is not known for sure. The name of her first husband might be Joseph H. Barber who according to Randy Bassett, a great great grandson of Sophie served with the Michigan 9th Infantry in the Civil War and later is found in Maine and California. When the 1870 census was taken, Sophronia Barber and her son Joseph Barber are living in the home of Sophie’s parents in Wales (St-Clair), Michigan. Sophronia is a school teacher. When the 1880 census was taken, Joseph Barber is still living in the home of Joseph and Sophronia Shirkey in Wales Township. In this census Joseph is listed as a nephew. Sophronia can be found in the 1880 census in New Baltimore (Macomb), Michigan with her husband Dr. Joseph Chapman. Dr. Chapman was a physician. This was a second marriage for him. In the household is a son, Sprague Chapman, age 19, who is a son from Dr. Chapmans first marriage; Leo Chapman, age 3, who is Sophie’s son with Dr. Chapman; and Jane Chapman, age 88, who is Dr. Chapman’s mother. When the 1900 census was taken, Sophie Chapman is a widow. She and her son, Leo M. Chapman are living on South Park Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. Also in the household is James M. Gelatt who is a dealer in patents which is also Leo Chapman’s profession. When the 1910 census was taken, Sophronia and Leo are living at 3838 Vernon Avenue in Chicago. Sophronia is a proprietress of a rooming house and Leo is a line-o-type machinist. When the 1920 census was taken, Sophronia and Leo are now living at 630 Woodland Park in Chicago. Leo is still a line-o-type machinist. When the 1930 census was taken, Sophronia and Leo are still living at 630 Woodland Park in Chicago. But, Sophronia’s son, Joseph H. Barber is also in the household. He is 69. He says he is married, and his first marriage occurred when he was 25; but there is no wife in the household. Leo is still a line-o-type machinist, and Joseph is painting contractor..Mgr Emile Chartier retired in 1944
