Francois Xavier (Samuel) CHARTIER |
In the 1910 census Sam is single and living on the White Earth Indian Reservation in Becker County, Minnesota. He is working as a laborer on a “general farm”. He is a lodger with the George and Philamine Bellefuille family and their 9 children. In the 1930 census he is married to Cynthia Gourd Langley living on the farm that Cynthia and her husband Frank Gourd owned. One of her sons with Frank is counted next on the census page. In the 1910 Cynthia can be found with Frank Gourd and their 5 children, Ethel R., age 18; Harris I., age 16; Charles R., age 8; Lee R., age 6; and Stella R., age 2. In this census Cynthia says she was born in Oklahoma and her parents were from Georgia; and she and all of her children are “white”. She also said she had 8 children with 5 of them living. All of the children were born in Oklahoma. When the 1920 census was taken, Cynthia and Lee and Stella Gourd were living in Clough (Morrison), Minnesota. Under race, Cynthia and her two children are listed as white. The 1930 census asks age at first marriage. Sam says he was 31. Since he was 48 at the time of the census that would indicate that he was married to someone in about 1913. In 1930 he had been married to Cynthia for less than 2 years. Maybe he was married to someone at White Earth. There are two grandchildren living with Sam and Cynthia when the 1930 census was taken; probably belonging to children from Cynthia’s marriage to Frank Gourd. Sam, Cynthia, her son and her grandchildren claim to be Indian on the question of race. If Sam had an earlier marriage, it is possible that his wife bore children which may have died at birth or very young. Even the wife may have died while bearing a child. Frank Gourd died 17 Sept. 1911.
