From the Sibley County Independent of this date:

February 27, 1903

Passed Away

   Death has claimed another old settler of this township, Mrs. Esdras 
Beliveau, who passed away at her home on the 21st inst.  Her sudden demise 
was a severe shock to the relatives and friends.  Although unwell for some 
time past, the end came unexpectedly.  A few days previous to her death 
she became seriously ill with a complication of ailments and gradually 
grew weaker.  All that medical aid and kind care could accomplish was 
resorted to but of no avail, and on Saturday, at 2:30 o'clock p.m. she 
succumbed to the inevitable.  The deceased was a kind and loving wife and 
mother and was highly respected by all who knew her.

   Emilia Beliveau, nee Jutros, was born at Bay de Feve, Canada, January 6, 
1839, and was married at the age of eighteen to Esdras Beliveau.  They came 
to Henderson when the city was in its infancy and settled in what was known 
as Frenchtown, living there for eleven years, after which they removed to 
the present homestead, near this city, where she lived until death called 
her away from relatives and friends.

   The deceased was among the earliest settlers in this township, and was 
among those who were forced to flee to Belle Plaine for safety during the 
Indian outbreak in 1862.

   Though her trials and troubles have been many, she has borne them 
throughout with good cheer, and always endeavored to make her surroundings 
and those of her many friends pleasant.  She was the mother of a large 
family of children, twelve in all, none of whom are living, namely: 
Miss Mary Beliveau, Mrs. Frank Boudin and Mrs. Alfred Corteau, of Minneapolis; 
Mrs. Andrew Glatigny, of Sleepy Eye; Mrs. David Boudin, of West Superior; 
Mrs. Fred Beaudreau, of DeGraff, Minn., Ulrick Beliveau, of Davenport, Ia.; 
Ulysses E. Beliveau, of P.I. and Fred Beliveau who resides on the old 
homestead.  They were all present at the funeral except Ulysses.  

   The funeral was held from the Catholic church Tuesday forenoon, Rev. 
Jansen conducting the services, and the remains interred in the cemetery 
of that parish.  The entire community joins the Independent in extending 
sympathy to the bereaved husband and children.

(Note by Phil Schiller: the surnames of the married daughters may be 
misspelled.  Such is the case for my great-grandmother, Louisa (Mrs. 
Frank Beaudreau) in the original article [Bowdrow].)
