(1.Mary¹) was born on 05 Jul 1865 in Tingwick, Arthabasha County, Quebec, Canada; died on 03 Mar 1959 in Franklin, Renville Co., MN.

Notes:

On the eastern edge of the Allegheny Plateau, near the Appalachian
Highlands in the State of Pennsylvania is the County of Cambria.
Fifteen miles due north of the County seat, Ebensburg, is the village
of Carrolltown, center of a farming community. On a farm, about a
mile and a half from town lived Charles and Regina Abt Poss. Here, on
September 30, 1864, was born a son, Anthony. There were other
children in the family, four girls and a boy. From what we can
gather, they were all older than Anthony. His brother's name was
Charles, and his sisters were, Lizzie (Mrs. Fred Hufnagel), Mary
(Mrs. Len Farnbaugh), Catherine (Mrs. Fred Farnbaugh) and Lena, who
never married. Charles and Regina, Anthony's parents, were
Pennsylvania Dutch and they lived on the farm with their children
until 1870, when they moved into Carrolltown, where Charles plied his
trade as a stonecutter. Some two years after leaving the farm, when
Anthony was eight years old, his father died. The year before, 1871,
Lizzie and Mary had left the family home and moved to Beaver Falls,
Minnesota. Not long after Charles' death, Anthony's mother, Regina,
married a man by the name of Hiller. In 1873, the other two girls,
Catherine and Lena, followed Lizzie and Mary to Beaver Falls. Anthony
and Charles continued to live with their mother and stepfather until
1874, when they and their parents left Carolltown to join the girls
in Beaver Falls.
As Anthony was nearly ten years old when the family left
Pennsylvania, he had already started to school. He continued his
education in Beaver Falls and also attended school in Bird Island for
two years. After leaving school, Anthony began working in the
hardware store of Conklin and Clark in Bird Island, remaining there
until he was twenty years old. He then moved on to Long Prairie to
work for Richard Handy in his hardware and tin shop. After four
years, when he was twenty-four, he decided to go to St. Paul to take
a short business course and work in the manufacture of tin. He
remained in St. Paul for almost a year, and in 1888 moved to Morton
and began working for Keefe, Heing and McClure. Anthony was an
ambitious young man who had saved his money, and so in September of
the following year, 1889, he bought out the hardware store of J. M.
Johnson in Franklin, and changed the store's name to Poss Hardware.
In 1895 he took his brother-in-law, Charles Freeman in as a partner,
and this parnership lasted until 1915 when it was dissolved by mutual
consent. Poss Hardware is now owned and operated by Anthony's oldest
son, Harold, and it is one of the oldest active businesses in
Franklin.
While Anthony, or as he was affectionately known to his many friends,
Tony, worked in Morton during the year 1888, he met a young lady,
Mary Ann Brown, who was waiting table at the Railroad Hotel. Mary Ann
wanted to open a millinery Store, and no doubt it was Anthony, who
persuaded her to come to Franklin and open a store in the rear room
of Poss Hardware. Just when Mary Ann came to Franklin is not know,
but it is a fact that Anthony and Mary Ann were married in 1894.
Mary Ann Brown was born on July 5, 1865 in Tinwich (or as it is also
spelled, Tingwick) Province of Quebec, Canada. Tingwick is about
seventy-five miles south and west of the city of Quebec and eighty
miles north and east of Montreal. Arthabaska County in which Tingwick
is situated was the center of an area devoted almost exclusively to
farming. From the Prologue, we know that Mary Ann was the eldest
daughter and the second child of James Brown and Mary Anne Goggin,
and that the family migrated from Canada and finally settled on a
farm near Birch Cooley in Norfolk Township, Minnesota.
Anthony and mary Ann spent their entire lives in Franklin and the
following children were born to them; Irene, Harold, Edward,
Genevieve, Mary, John and Dorothy. All the children are still living
except Edward who was called to his reward on September 15, 1958.
After a long and happy life, Anthony died on november 12, 1951 at the
age of eighty-seven, and eight years later at the age of ninety-four,
his wife, Mary Ann joined him.

BROWN Sarah Jane "Sadie"

(1.Mary¹) was born on 20 Jun 1879 in Norfolk Twp, Renville Co., MN; died on 18 Mar 1972 in Detroit, Wayne Co., MI.

Notes:

Sarah Jane Brown, the ninth child of James Brown and Mary Ann goggin,
was born on June 20, 1879 in Norfolk Township, Minnesota near the
village of Birch Cooley. The tenth and last child of James and Mary
Ann, a son, died soon after birth. Like her brothers and sisters,
Sarah's early life was spent on the farm, going to school through the
eighth grade in Norfolk and attending catechism in Henryville. We
have no precise record when Sarah Janes' parents died, the only
record being that James was first buried in Henryville and later was
removed to the cemetery at New Birch Cooley. From this, we surmise
that when Mary Ann died she, too, was buried with her husband in New
Birch Cooley cemetery.
After finishing the eighth grade in Norfolk, Sarah Jane went to high
school for one year in Bird Island, and then transferred to the
school at Franklin. Sometime after she finished school, Sarah Jane
met a likeable young fellow from Golden Gate, Minnesota, by the name
of Willie Grimes. They started seeing each other regularly, and soon
they were engaged to be married. This event took place on January 15,
1901 at New Birch Cooley. Their married life began on a farm
purchased from Herb Scott. Some eight years later in 1909, Willie,
Sarah and five children left the farm and headed for Great Falls,
Montana, on an immigrant train. Besides the family, they took four
men, four wagons, eight horses and the household furniture. The
children who made the trip were: Mary Edith, Eight years old; James,
six years old; Patrick, four years old; Catherine, two years old and
the baby, Margaret.
While in Great Falls, Willie, or as he is also know, Bill, did
construction work, but things did not seem to work out right. His
wife, Sarah was in poor health, suffering from a kidney ailment, and
there was also a prevalence of typhoid in the area. Such being the
case, Willie and Sarah decided to retrace their steps to Minnesota,
and so they came to Franklin to live. Bill purchased a livery stable
and had three teams for hire. After some time, he went back to
farming in the Franklin area. Again, the family moved back into town,
and Willie drove a team on a grader. In the meantime, seven more
children were born in this order:Wilfrid, Lorraine, Larry, David,
Collette, Clare, Grace and Lois. During the time, the family lived in
Franklin, James moved to Detroit, Michigan, and opened a drycleaning
plant, which proved to be very successful. During the next several
years, Jim's brothers and sisters joined him in Detroit, and finally
his father and mother. Here, Willie took a job as a guard at the
Burroughs Corporation plant. After several bouts with pneumonia, and
being in his seventies, he finally retired from active work.
As this is written, Willie is still in fairly good health and is
approaching his ninety-third birthday. His wife, Sarah Jane, who is
nearing Eighty-four, continues to enjoy good health and leads an
active and interesting life.

Name in Religion, Sr. Gertrude.
Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet

Born April 29, 1909 in Franklin, Minnesota, to Charles Freeman and Kathryn Brown, the child christened Gertrude Catherine was their youngest child. She already had four sisters and 2 brothers. The oldest in the family was a girl, Ethel, a nurse at St. Joseph's hospital in St. Paul. Ethel was a private nurse and a real bedside nurse. Everybody knew and loved Ethel. Living across the street from the St. Paul Seminary, she fed the young men when they were well and cared for them when, as priests, they became ill.

The youngest child lived all her life under the patronage of St. Gertrude. Her home was a warm and hospitable one. The father knew everybody in town and everybody knew him. He owned the furniture store and, as usual in smaller towns, was also the funeral director. The mother was a caring person each year boarding the school teachers. She was a great cook and the baking skills were said to be the best in town.

Sister Gertrude got her early education, grade and hight school in the Franklin schools but eventually she enrolled at the College of St. Catherine where she majored in English and History and continued to get to know the Sisters of St. Joseph.

She first met them in summer catechism classes in Franklin. She continued to like what she saw and entered their congregation in the middle of her senior year, February 1931. And she never stopped learning.

English and History may have been her majors, but she was soon asked to teach Home Economics and she worked to learn that. I think she probably inherited a good many capabilities and skills from her mother!

She spent many years in school administration, having experiences in all our high schools in Minnesota except Derham Hall. She could be registrar, principal or counsellor, perhaps occasionally a combination. Preparation for these assignments took her to various institutions of higher learning. University of Minnesota, Washington U. in Seattle and St. Louis University. To learn counseling skills she went to south Dakota State in Brooklings.

All her travels were not primarily for study. A trip to Hawaii and one to Canada were delightful, pleasurable experiences. Just as delightful but in a different way were the "tours", the high school trips made each year with the high school seniors. It was by rail, plane and bus that she and they enjoyed Chicago, Boston, New York and Washington. The highlight of one trip was the meeting with John F. Kennedy in the White House. Nobody who was there ever forgot it.

Sister Gertrude liked to sew and do craft work, and kind of craft work. That helped her to fit right in to Bethany when she came in April, 1981. We hope your years where have been fruitful and joyful, and that every added day will bring you added joy!.

Eulogy:

Gertrude Freeman died at a most glorious time: the Easter season, beginning of spring, and eight days before her own birthday. May these days of celebration provide great comfort to all who knew and dearly loved her.

Born in Franklin, Minn., on April 29, 1909, to Kathryn Brown and Charles Freeman, Gertrude was the sixth of seven children. Like her brothers and sisters, she was educated in the Franklin Public Schools. During the summer the Freeman children along with other Catholic children, attended catechism classes taught by the Sisters of St. Joseph. Perhaps it was that interactions to the CSJs that brought Gertrude to the College of St. Catherine, and it was from there, in the middle of her senior year, that she joined the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1931.

While Gertrude's undergraduate degree was in English and history, her teaching quickly focused on home economics and she obtained an advance degree in the field. She taught students not only how to prepare a well-balanced meal, but more importantly, how to personally welcome other people into their homes and their lives. Her ministry in education spanned nearly five decades and included inner-city, rural and suburban schools. She was an administrator as well as a teacher, and served as principal or assistant principal at three schools: St. Joseph's Academy, St. Paul; Holy Redeemer, Marshall; and the Academy of Holy Angels, Minneapolis. Honesty and compassion marked her relationships with students, parents and teachers.

When she was 60, and at an age when many people would begin to think of retiring, Gertrude decided to study for a certificate in counseling. Once she obtained this, she returned to an academic setting, this time St. Mary's Junior College where she advised many young people not only about their academic endeavors, but about their personal concerns as well. Positive and upbeat, Gertrude influenced many lives.

Time permitting, her summers offered opportunities not only for more study, but for travel and camping as well, and this despite years of back pain. After Gertrude retired to Bethany in 1981, she continued to work as a volunteer at St. Mary's Hospital Pain Clinic. She wanted to encourage others who experienced unusual pain, and share with them her own ability of learning how to live with pain. Never did any family or community member feel that Gertrude's life evolved around her physical limitations.

Gertrude's family was always an important part of her life, and with them she enjoyed holiday celebrations. As it became more difficult for her to get around, her family came to be with her – nieces and nephews to the fourth generation. Throughout her life, she was a fun and easy person to be with; she was kind and loving, and did whatever she could to make people feel "at home."

As the news of her death was announced at Bethany, ones sister summed up what so many were feeling: "All I know is that I loved her dearly."

Gertrude died at Bethany Convent on April 21. A visitation service was held at Bethany on April 24 and 25; the Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on April 25. Interment followed at Resurrection Cemetery. She is survived by nieces and nephews, and their families.

Presented by Brian Freeman at Betty's one year memorial:

The Life of Betty Leedom

Betty was born June 22, 1937, the last surviving and middle child of 7 siblings:
Charles Robert 73
Gertrude Mary 0 Stillborn in 1934
Patricia Ann 41
Elizabeth Jane 76
Mary Kathleen 1
John McDonough 64
Margaret Joanne 66

Betty and family grew up in Franklin, MN near the Lower Sioux Indian Reservation in Morton, MN. This was the 3rd generation of Freemans living in Franklin.

Her grandfather, Charles Etson Freeman, owned a firm called Poss & Freeman starting in 1909 as a partnership. By 1915 they split the business and named it “Freeman Furniture, Lumber, and Undertaking”, which tells you what he did. Charles E. was a very prominent person in Franklin and married to Kathryn Elizabeth Brown “Katy” for 51 years. Charles E. kept the store until 1950, a year before he died, at the age of 81. To date, he has over 109 descendants.

Of his 8 children, Charles Lyle Freeman became Betty’s Father and married Bernice Hart, or “Bee.” As many know, Bee is our link to Native American ancestry. She was enrolled at White Earth, the same as Betty. Bee died at the age of 84 and Charles L. at 51.

At about 19 years old, Betty took her vows at ST. Joseph of Corondalet, becoming a nun. As many do when they enter the church, they will choose a name they will be called while they serve god.

Betty cared so deeply for her younger sister who died at the age of one, she took her name and was known as Sister Mary Kathleen Freeman. While in the convent, Sister Mary Kathleen worked towards and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Saint Catherine on July 21st, 1966.

Betty stayed in the convent and followed her vows 10 years, until she asked to be released of her vows in 1967, about a month after I was born. I found out only in the last 10 years that she was my God Mother.

At almost the same time, Betty was offered a job with the St. Paul School System teaching 1st grade students at Riverview Elementary School. Nine years later, she married Robert Leedom in Las Vegas, on July 28th, 1976.

Betty continued to work for the St. Paul school system as an elementary teacher until June 16th, 1997 after 30 years of service.

Betty also remained loyal to Bob as his wife for 20 years until he passed on Jun 28, 1996 at the age of 72. They loved each other and supported each other in marriage and life.

Betty remained highly active in the church since she was a nun. She had close ties to her aunt, Sister Gurtrude. Gurtrude spent most of her 88 years serving the church as a nun.

Betty’s interests outside of the church included her love for children. Many of us here have worn clothing as toddlers that Betty made just for each of us. She has taken us into her home many times as children and adults just because she cared for us. She cared deeply for most of her family, though she never had any kids of her own. This is one of her biggest legacies.

She also had a love for crafts. Those of you who saw her home (especially the basement) have seen that. She loved to make clothing, dolls, cards, beading, and many other things for other people.

She enjoyed working on the family tree and was my first source of information when I started getting into genealogy. Since then we now have information on over 50,000 relatives.

Betty was also interested in her Native American heritage. Though it was many generations ago now, we come from a native woman given the white name of Marguerite Racine. Her Indian name was O-Ge-mau-gee-Shi-go-Qua or Queen of The Skies. She was married to a French Canadian Bazile Beaulieu, a highly documented family.

Betty attended occasional pow wows with me and some drum practices for a while. About 15 years ago she asked the same person that did the pipe ceremony for Pam and me at our wedding, to perform a naming ceremony for her. She had always wanted an Indian name. Unfortunately, that never happened.

Though we come from an Ojibwe heritage, I myself have learned and follow the Lakota/Dakota ways.

In the Dakota way, traditionally a person has 4 names through out their life. They are given a name at birth, and then another when becoming an adult. Later in life it is common to have another name that is used. Finally, in death a name is given to the person for the spirits to use in the after life.

When she was born, Betty’s given name was Elizabeth Jane. When she joined the convent she took the name of Sister Mary Kathleen. After leaving the convent her commonly used name was Betty.

Since Betty was never able to receive the Indian name she wanted, I have decided to give her an Indian name to take with her to the spirit world.

I hereby give her the name of

Koskala Awankiciyanka

In Lakota, this means: She who looks after the young.

Finally, I want to sing a memorial song in her honor. The tradition is to allow 1 year to mourn the loss of a loved one. At the end of a year a memorial is held to honor that person and then release their spirit. There should be no more mourning after our memorial today, for Betty.

The song I am about to sing says in Lakota:

Where have you gone?
Your relatives are crying, looking for you.

Tuwe sita ku
Tokaia iyahay, Tokia iyahay
Mitakuye Koyo
Cayio onikeylepelo
Cayi a u wey
Cayi a u wey
Oka tika loyo

Thank you.

"Betty" ~ (nee: Freeman) Age 76, of St. Paul

Betty and Bob were married in Las Vegas on July 28, 1976. They love to travel to Las Vegas and to visit friends and family around the country. Betty touched many lives in her 40 years as an elementary school teacher in St. Paul and through her work in her church and with the Franciscan Brothers of Peace and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.
