Maire, Theodore (deceased) was born in France in the year 1819. He was
always accustomed to farm life. On reaching manhood he set out to make a
home thousands of miles from his native place, in America. After spending
a year at St. Louis, he tarried many years near Galena, Illinois. Here he
was married, in the fall of 1848, to Adeline Gambier, a native of the same
sunny land as himself. After marriage he worked land, and came to
Minnesota in the spring of 1857, to secure land of his own. He took a
claim on section 28, Chester, where he remained the balance of his life,
passing away December 3, 1876. He left eighty acres of land, on which his
widow and younger children now reside. There are nine of the latter now
living, two having died young. Their names and residence are here given:
Charles J., Mazeppa; Rosa (Mrs. Nick Clemens), Central Point; Josephine
(Mrs. Fletcher Sheldon), Mazeppa; Margaret (Mrs. James Hinds), this town;
Sarah (Mrs. Thomas King), Lake City; Frederick, Della, Addie, Mary, Emma,
Jacob T. and William are at home. All the family are Roman Catholics.
