Charles Barbier, a Frenchman of good education, who had lived in Ohio
some years, and who had been employed as a fur trader, came to Pease 
"island" in 1861, and was employed by F. D. Pease. Next he engaged in
the wood business, and in 1867 he files on a homestead on Papineau bottom 
which he sold in 1893 and moved to his present home in the Pease Valley
east of Geddes. He served several years as county commissioner and his
name also appears as one of the officers of the earlier Lamonte organization
of the county.
