Misc. Notes
Margaret had immigrated from French Canada in 1905
®5374 (1920 census said 1904) (1930 census said 1907) and was not a naturalized citizen on 1 January 1920.
®3982 Fred and Maggie Hebert lived in Roy’s Point, Wisconsin from 1910 to 1924 and seven of their eight children were born there. Maggie moved the family into Bayfield shortly after Fred died of tuberculosis in 1924, at the age of 45.
®5374 Perhaps James Arseneau worked in the same logging camp as Fred Hebert and felt sorry for Fred’s widow and seven children when Fred died in 1924. That may be why he allowed Maggie and the children to live in the bottom floor of the Arseneau house on Sweeney Avenue in Bayfield after Fred died. On 1 April 1930 Margaret was a 43 year old widow who was head of the household on Fourth Street in Bayfield, Wisconsin. She had married at age 20. Wilfred, 18, Clarence, 14, Hazel, 12 and Leonard, 5, lived with her. She had become a naturalized citizen in the interval since 1920.
