A Soo Romance
Mrs. Massy and her husband were the first settlers in this city and county,
having located here in 1840, both living to an advanced age and dying within a
few months of each other. Mrs. Massy was born at the Sault Ste. Marie, about the
close of the last century. Her father was an Indian trader named Bouchea, a
Frenchman and her mother a Chippewa squaw. Peter E. Bouchea, known to all of the
old settlers was her brother.
Mrs. Massy was noted for her beauty in her
younger days and had two white husbands previous to her marriage to Mr.
Massy.The only form of marriage then known in that section was after the Indian
fashion. After having and losing three children, and fearing that the cause was
that the Indian custom was not the proper one, she persuaded Mr. Massy to take
her to Prairie du Chien to have their marriage confirmed by a priest.
After this event they had one daughter, the late Mrs. Pickard, who lived to
raise a family of her own.
This was the case with Mr. Massy, but those
who knew him best have data and circumstances to show that he was over 100 years
old at the time of his death.

In Early Day Transactions of One Hundred Years ago Gone Over
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were taken up in the Circuit court in
determining the legal heirs of Louis Gurnoe, who died some twenty-five years
ago. It was claimed by the petitioner, John Gurnoe, son of Louis, and the
representative of the children of Louis Gurnoe by Archange Cadotte, that his
branch of the family are the only legitimate children and heirs at law of Louis
Gurnoe. This was disputed by Isabelle Cota, and her descendants who contend that
previous to the marriage of Louis Gurnoe and Archange Cadotte in 1820, Gurnoe
had taken unto himself a lawful wife in the person of Angelique Defoe and that
his children by her, to- wit: Isabella Cota, Frank, Louis and Joseph Gurnoe are
his legal heirs. Many interesting features arose during the progress of the
trial, as, in attempting to prove the marriage of Gurnoe and Angelique Defoe
1809, the marriage ceremonies as performed by the Indians, and by contract with
witnesses in the early days of the Sault were pretty thoroughly described by
witnesses, some of them so far removed from youth that their own ages had been
long since forgotten. The Gurnoe family was represented by E. S. B. Sutton, C.
C. Yerkes and M. J. Doyle and the Cotal branch by J. W. McMahon. Decision
reserved.

to the contract was given as Annie Thomas. Monday afternoon James Clawson, a

license to marry Annie Thomas. Mr. Webster thought, of course, that this was
for Annie No. 2 and noticed the coincidence, but it soon passed out of his mind.
However, it came back hurriedly on Tuesday, when Clawson stalked into the office
in a glaring rage and exclaimed in a very destructive: "I thought this hur paper
was a garranty deed to the woman. She's went and married that durned Bill
Robertson, and I want my money back or the devil'l be to pay." Jim got his money
back, but Bill got Annie. It was real funny.

dinner was served, prepared by Chef Neary in his very best style. The brides
cake came from England, and was one of the best.-------
Mr. Perry came to this country from England three years ago. Last year he
visited his former home, and while there the gay little god of love shot his
heart full of arrows. After a short courtship, the fair object of his affection
consented to make Mr. Perry happy, and he returned to prepare a home for her.
The brave little woman who journeyed across the ocean alone to meet her
prospective husband, is certainly worthy of all happiness in her adopted
country. The happy couple left in the evening train for their home in the west,

[] N. J. Fezzey, Soo, and Miss Maude Golden, New York
Saturday November 26th 1898 Page 1
FORGOT HER NAME
N. J. Fezzey Was Thinking of Another and Wedding Didn't Occur
A funny incident transpired yesterday afternoon when N. J. Fezzey and Miss
Maude Golden appeared before Rev. William Johnson, who had been requested to
make them man and wife. The minister had been given the names of the
prospective bride and groom and just before the performance of the ceremony was
to begin Mr. Fezzey presented the marriage license to the prelate. Rev. Johnson
scanned the document and on reaching the name and description of the young lady
looked up in a puzzled manner, and turning to Mr. Fezzey, informed him that a
mistake had evidently been made, as the lady's name as written was not the one
that had been previously given as that of the young lady he was about to wed.
The gentleman looked at the license and to his deep embarassment found the
matter to be as represented by the minister. The marriage ceremony was not
performed. Mr. Fezzey hustled back to the county clerk's office, where he had
applied for the license an hour before, and had the proper name and description
inserted. To the deputy county clerk the groom-to-be blushingly stated that he
was thinking of a young lady he met before the war at the time he made the
application, and was badly rattled any way. After the error had been corrected
Mr. Fezzey departed apparently in a happy frame of mind.
But there is sequel to the contretemps. The proposed wedding, after the
mishap, was to have taken place last night. Up to a late hour, however, the
event had not been pulled off. Mr. Fezzey is either the most absent-minded man
that ever happened, or else a vision of the before-the-war young lady has
completely driven all thoughts of wedded bliss with Miss Golden from his mind.
Mr. Fessey made an appointment to meet his loved one after supper, when they
were to be married. The young lady forlornly awaited the coming of the
bridegroom for several hours, but he did not make his appearance. The recreant
lover will probaly meet with a warmer reception than he bargained for when he
shows up-if he does. Chances are that the wedding will be summarily declared
off, if Miss Golden continues in the frame of mid she possessed last night.
