Notes
Individual:
Emma Mandeville married Jule Poirier and homesteaded in 1906 in Caribou Township, Minnesota, where they owned a bar and trading post. Emma was an excellent seamstress and she was the first Post mistress of the Oak Point Post Office and ran the trading post because she could read and write. Jules managed the liquor store and bar.
Emma worried about Johnny starting school up there. If their kids wanted to go to school, they would have to board with families in Lancaster because that's where the school was. Emma did not want to give up her children, but she also wanted them to have an education, so sometime after 1917, she contacted a real estate agent named W.N. King and asked him to find farm land near a city where their children could attend school. She finally signed papers on a home near Montrose, Minnesota. Jule worked on equipment, motors, and machinery in a big shed which still stands today near where Montrose Blvd intersects with Highway 12.
They then moved to a farm between Montrose and Waverly and then to the farm with the famous "brick house" where the Poiriers spent most of their growing up years. Several years later they moved to a farm next to the Doughertys on the same road as the Leonard and Tommy Galvin farms. When their second youngest son, Art, married, he bought the family farm from Jule and Emma and they moved across the road to another farm. In the 1950s they moved from that farm to the city of Buffalo close to the catholic church and their oldest son, Johnny.
