His family - part of a larger group - relocated from Quebec to Iroquois County, Illinois. His father is in the 1851 Quebec census, so they likely moved after that. Look at the number of French names in Papineau Township.
Paul Cote is listed in the 1860 Iroquois County - Loda township, as 23, Canadian. He's in the Thomas Wilson (#2077) household, probably a farm laborer. Thomas is 46, born in Ohio, and his four children are too young to do heavy work.
He married Sarah Jane Murphy, born 1841 (some say she had previously married a Bacon), daughter of Jeremiah and Mary Murphy . The 1860 Jefferson County, Indiana census has James Bacon and Sarah Jane, both born in Indiana, in the Wade Helton household. Wade, 33; Elisa, 29; James, 10; Ann C. Brown, 66, born KY. This MAY NOT be our Sarah Jane.
Paul served in the 37th Illinois Infantry, Co. K., with a military record indicating he was born 1838 in Canada; enlisted at Denmark 12/21/63; deserted 2/17/66, which was removed from his record by War Dept. 2/5/66, disch. 2/17/66.
His daughter Mary told her granddaughter Edna Lois that "when he came home finally he was not in good health. It was a long struggle for him to make his way back home when the war ended."

12/12 1899 Danville Twice a Week Commercial: (From the Net, unverified)
"An exchange confesses its mystification over the following divorce suit brought in this city.
Jane Side of Danville has asked the courts for a divorce from Paul Side, her husband, charging him with desertion. The only thing about the case puzzling the lawyers and judges is that the Jane Side in the case is Paul's Side, and the Paul Side in the matter is Jane's Side. But as Paul Side has treated his (Jane) Side in such a manner as to cause her (Jane) Side to decide that she can no longer put up with Paul Side, notwithstanding the he, Paul Side is legally her side. But again, as they are yet married, they are yet one Side, and yet Jane Side asks the court to decide that it is better for both Sides to 'shinny on their own Side," as it were. But just how the court is going to decide to suit both Sides when there is only one Side is enough to make any Side ache."

In 1900 he was in the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in Danville, listing that he was divorced, had obtained citizenship in 1855, and had been in the country for 49 years. He was also listed as a resident there in the city directory of 1901.
There is a Jane Sides listed as widowed, owning a home on Lane Avenue in Marysville (page 1134B), age 60, six children living of seven. She and the family above have no month of birth, which may mean someone else gave the information.
Paul died April 05, 1912, in Cissna, Iroquois County, and his tombstone is in Sugar Creek Cemetery in the southeast part of the county. In the same cemetery three young grandchildren are buried
Paul's tombstone is the closest to the bridge over Sugar Creek. Look closely at the arches of the bridge. They are the Ferris Wheel of the 1893 Chicago Exposition! The Wheel was dismantled and used to build the structure.
One daughter, Mary, told granddaughter Edna Lois Monk that Sarah worked as a seamstress. Mary said that when she was a young girl, Sarah would warn her of the "blue racer" snakes when playing near the stream. Mary said she had stayed for a while with the Cote grandparents, learned a little French, and was impressed with the strength of their religion. She became very homesick, so they took her home.

Sarah died February 09, 1930 in Hoopeston, and is buried in Potomac Cemetery. Her son-in-law George Monk's niece, Annie Redman, is also buried there.

Rachel Side, 1875-1876
Eliza J. Side, December 01, 1879, married Robert John McAlister March 11, 1896 in Vermilion County, Illinois, died July 23, 1953 in Portland, Oregon. The Vermilion 1900 census (ED 93, sheet 2A) has Robert, born January 1864 in Wisconsin of Scottish father/Irish mother, farming. He and Liza, born December 1878 (???), have been married four years, and have one child, Robert, born March 1886 in Illinois. There is also a son Larry/Harry, born May 1878 in Illinois. These may mean Liza is Robert's second wife.
In 1910 Robert and Eliza McAllister are farming in Pilot Township, Vermilion. They have Jennie - 9, John - 6, and a servant.
In 1920 Robert is not in Eliza's (age 40, widowed?) household in Danville. Jennie is listed as age 15, John as ONE, and then Florinda at 4 3/12. Jane Side, mother, age 78, is also in the household.
In 1930 Eliza is on Gilbert Street in Danville at age 50. The census clearly says widowed. Florence, age 15, is the only other member. Eliza is a hand-ironer in a laundry.
