Gertrude BOUTANG, BOUTIN

Notes:

Gertie was my "Katherine Hepburn" aunt. She never married, was fun, funny and one of the best people I have ever met. She had a great sense of humor, liked an occasional beer, and had a distinctive twinkle in her eye when she laughed. She spent most of her young adult life taking care of my grandmother Rose who was often in poor health. She worked hard and was very independent. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in about 1996.

From Minneapolis Journal, 5 January 1936
William A. Boutin, a cleaner at the Washburn Crosby Utility Mill fell seven stories to his death last night in mill's elevator shaft. Boutang, who was 56 years old, lived at 1169 Fifth Street North. He was off duty at the time of the accident, according to the report to Mf. D.H.F. Neilsen, deputy coroner. His body was found by a watchman, E.J. Meyer. The mill is at Sixth Avenue South and First Street.

His wife think he might have been murdered for knowing some information about someone at Washburn Crosby Co. He was not supposed to work that night, but was called in. He had bruises on top of his hand and that someone might have tried to make it look like he was drunk, spilling alcohol near his locker and maybe on his clothes although no alcohol was found in his body and that his glasses were found broken at the top of the elevator shaft. His oldest son, Lawrence, who arrived on site while his father was still breathing but never regained consciousness, also worked at the company and was fired the next day. His wife was refused any pension.

AN EARLIER NATURALIZATION PAPER FOR URBAIN BOUTIN WAS FOUND in the naturalization records for Benton County, MN. However, this paper was headed as Territory of MN, County of Lapointe and stated that Urbain Boutin, aged thirty, was born on the fifteenth day of June, 1819 in "Upper Canada." He emigrated from that "province" and "landed at New York State of New York ... on or about the 15th day of June 1837." This document is dated 1st August 1849 and filed 23 August 1849 by Taylor C. Dudley, clerk of U.S. Court

The evidence indicates that some time after 1885, Urbain Boutin returned to his family of origin in Canada. He appears, near several of his siblings, on the 1891 Census of Canada in Ste-Marguerite, Dorchester, Quebec. He died there in June of 1900. His burial is recorded in that parish in the Drouin records where he is listed as the widower of Marguerite Desjarlais
