Additional Comments:
Katherine was born to Antoine & Lenore Paquin Martin.  She married Abraham 
Goudreau on 23 May 1872 in Saint Ignace, who was the son of Amable Goudreau, 
pioneer of that family who came from Canada with the idea of extracting the 
oil from the whitefish, to be used for oil lamps.  He worked for the Hudson 
Bay Fur Company and made a fortune in real esstate in the Saint Ignace area.  
Some of the streets of Saint Ignace are named for his children.  Abraham and 
Katherine had seven children.  Woodmen Circle was an early type of life 
insurance policy.  Members helped other members with expenses when a death 
occurred, including the cost of the monument with the stipulation "Woodmen 
Cirle" be included on the monument.  Abraham (1849-1912) is also buried in 
this location.
