1 THE WILKS FAMILY OF ALPENA AND DETROIT, MICHIGAN Bethany Waterbury 1. WILLIAM WILKS was born 22 December 1846 in Oswego, Oswego County, New York and died 26 January 1933 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan. 1 He married JOSEPHINE ROUSSEAU around 1868, most likely in Detroit. 2 Josephine was born 9 August 1849 in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of Joseph Rousseau and Margaret Chicoine, and died 30 December William and Josephine are buried in Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery in Southfield, Michigan. 4 William s death certificate does not name his parents; his eldest daughter Elizabeth Wilks Phillips, who apparently was not certain of his parentage, provided the information. Research in census records prior to 1870 suggest that William Wilks mother was a Caroline Waite Wilks, and that he had two brothers, an elder brother John, born about 1842, and a younger brother Charles, born about Caroline and her three boys lived with her father, a tavern keeper, in the City of Oswego on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario. 5 She is listed as married in both the 1850 U.S. census and the 1855 New York State census, although no husband is listed in either census. 6 The family may have been abandoned by William s father prior to 1850, as no church, land, probate, divorce, or death records for Mr. Wilks have been located in Oswego, New York.

2 many men left for California in search of their fortune and never returned to their families; perhaps Mr. Wilks was one of them. Caroline Waite Wilks married William Bonnell around 1856 and the couple had two children. 7 Perhaps William did not get along with his stepfather, or the family may have had financial difficulties, as William is living with a neighbor, William and Diana Squires, in the 1860 Oswego census. 8 In this same census, William s 16-year-old brother John is working as a Boatman. Employment via nearby Lake Ontario appeared to be a common occupation in Oswego at this time, as there are four other men on the same census page employed as Seamen, Boatmen, or Ship Carpenters. With the opening of the Oswego branch of the Erie Canal in 1829, the city of Oswego boomed as a prime shipping port, which continued into the 1870s. 9 It is likely that when William came of age he also was employed either on a boat or on the docks in Oswego. William may have initially traveled to Detroit as a sailor or laborer on a shipping vessel before deciding to settle in that city, where his future wife, Josephine Rousseau, was living. By 1868, both William and his brother Charles are living in Detroit: William as a laborer and Charles as an apprentice. 10 Their brother John does not appear in Oswego or Detroit city directories or census records after 1860; he was of the appropriate age to have fought in the Civil War and may have either died during the war or moved elsewhere afterward. Josephine Rousseau was one of four sisters and a brother born in Detroit, Michigan to French-Canadian parents. 11 Like William, Josephine did not have the luxury of a father figure in her life, as her mother Margaret Chicone Rousseau raised her alone from at least the age of Margaret likely had limited skills and U.S. census, Oswego County, New York, population schedule, Oswego, p. 9 (penned), dwelling 71, family 67, William Squires; digital image Ancestry ( : accessed 8 January 2006); citing National Archives (NARA) microfilm publication M653, roll U.S. census, Oswego County, New York, population schedule, Oswego, p. 9 (penned), dwelling 71, family 67, William Squires; digital image Ancestry ( : accessed 8 January 2006); citing National Archives (NARA) microfilm publication M653, roll The City of Oswego, Oswego History, ; website, Oswego New York, ( accessed 28 January 2014). 10 Charles F.

3 may have struggled to care for her five young children. She is listed as a washwoman in the 1860 census, and two of her daughters are listed as tailoress while still in their teens. 13 The family may have received some support, both morally and financially, from their church. The family was Catholic and, based on baptismal and marriage records, attended Ste. Anne s Catholic Church, a large Detroit church with masses held in French and a largely French-Canadian population. 14 However, no marriage record between Josephine and William has been located in the records of Ste. Anne s church, suggesting that Margaret or other family members may not have approved of the marriage. Josephine s brother, Joseph Rousseau, was a steamboat engineer in Detroit throughout his working life; perhaps it was through him that Josephine and William initially met. The couple married about 1868, most likely in Detroit, and by 1870 had moved to Alpena, Michigan. 15 At that time Alpena was remote logging town in northern Michigan on the shores of Lake Huron, 340 miles from Detroit. Alpena s logging boom began in 1857 and was well underway by the time William and Josephine moved there. In 1867, Thunder Bay (the main port in Alpena) had eight mills, which produced nearly fifty million feet of lumber and lath U.S census, Wayne County, Michigan, population schedule, Detroit, p (penned), dwelling 640, family 699, Margaret Rosseau; digital image Ancestry microfilm publication M653, roll Ste.

5 Josephine s three sisters, Sophia, Delphine, and Philomena were all also living in Alpena by 1870, although their brother Joseph remained in Detroit. 18 It is likely the families traveled to Alpena via ship, as Detroit and Alpena are connected via well-traveled waterways and the land route would have been longer and potentially more dangerous. William s career throughout his adult life was that of a carpenter, although it is unknown if he was a builder of houses, furniture or other items. After moving to Alpena, William and Josephine had a large family, which included nine children. The family attended St. Bernard s, the local Catholic Church, and Josephine s sisters and brothers-in-law were often the godparents of their children. 19 Figure 2: Certificate of donation of $5.00 in 1890 to the St. Bernard s Church fundraiser to purchase a new bell for the church U.S. census, Alpena County, Michigan, population schedule, Alpena, p. 14 (penned), dwelling 104, family 101, Sophia Blanchard; digital image Ancestry ( : accessed 23 February 2014); citing National Archives (NARA) microfilm publication M593, roll 661.

6 Alpena continued to prosper through the late 1800s, but logging and the town s overall prosperity was beginning to wane by about The older Wilks children began to move to Detroit prior to the 1900 census, and William, Josephine and their younger children were living in Detroit by However, Alpena and the Catholic Church continued to play an important part in their lives in Detroit. The extended families all belonged to the Alpena Club of Greater Detroit, a social club that was open to former residents of Alpena currently living in Detroit. 22 Not much is known about this club presently, but it was in existence until at least the 1950s, as there is a mention of their annual State Wide Reunion in 1952 in the Alpena City Council Proceedings. 23 Although it is not known what church the family attended while living in Detroit, both William and Josephine are buried in Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery in Southfield, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, indicating that they were practicing Catholics in Detroit as well. No probate record has been found for either William or Josephine, suggesting they did not own property in Detroit at the time of their death. They may have transferred ownership of their residence to either their son William Wilks, Jr. or Ida Wilks, both of whom were unmarried throughout their lives.
