"Louis Robarge, aged 76 years and a pioneer of Rice Lake, passed away Sunday,
Oct 14, at his home on West Newton street after a short illness caused by 
complications resulting from old age.  Mr. Robarge was born in Quebec, 
Canada, June 20, 1852.  His family moved to Menomonie 60 years ago and a 
year later to the vicinity of Dobie, where Mr. Robarge was employed by the 
Knapp-Stout Lbr. Co.  In 1871 he was married to Celimae Demers, who died in 
1899.  To this union were born fourteen children, four of whom are living: 
Louis L. of Ladysmith, Alex of St. Paul, Mrs. Phil Robarge and Mrs. Zina 
Robarge of Alberta, Canada.  In 1904 Mr. Robarge married Mrs. Minnie 
Robarge, and to this union was born a son, Raymond E. of Rice Lake.  Funeral 
services were conducted Wednesday morning from St. Joseph's church by the 
Rev. A.J. Van Helden.  Interment took place at St. Joseph's cemetery.  The
