L'Anse Sentinel   April 28, 1924 
    Vital Gauthier, age 87, died at his home in Barage last Friday morning at

Mr. Gauthier was born in St. James, Province of Quebec, May 19, 1837, coming

and with a number of other settlers did much to open up that section, being

Barage, having resided in the county for 44 years.

He is survived by the following children:  Mrs. Isaac DeCormer of L'Anse, 
Joseph of Duluth, Middy of Newport, Michigan, Alphonse, Delia and Adalore of 
Baraga, Mrs Archie Woods of Houghton and Mrs. August LaCasse of Calderwood.

The funeral was held Monday morning in St. Anne's church, Rev. Fr. Douenberg
