Copy of Josephine Monda's burial bill listing place of death as St. Michael's Hospital in Grand Forks, ND. Note in Bennett Boushee's stuff to look at Grand Forks Herald, Side Briefs, Tuesday Dec 17, 1919 for her obituary. Her funeral took place at Sacred Heart Church. "My Grandmother Josephine married Grandfather Zeb Foubert about 1880. She came from Quebec.  She had a brother that lived near Grafton and an uncle in the valley as well as a sister that lived in Osakis, MN.  She was an able seamstress.  After her and Grandfather were married some time they were afraid they would have no children so she consulted a Dr. and later she was able to conceive. Mother was her second child and also the second girl.  Zeb and Josephine must have been living in Huntsville Township because mother was born a mile south of this farm (Bennet Boushee's) on Epiphany Jan 6, 1885. After that they moved and farmed near Larimore, ND.  Until Grandfather Zeb died 23 May 1901.  After Grandfather's death, she made plans and prepared to move back to the MN Point where mother was born.  She had the house moved, foundation and cellar built on the banks of the Red River where it is now nestled among the trees and bushes.  It must have seemed cozy after living on the prairie where the winter storms had such force with nothing to break its strength. Mother said on one farm they had to string a rope from the house to the barn because you could get lost in the short distance to the barn to care for the livestock. With less acres and acres much more fertile, requiring less work and more income was a help.  Having neighbors close must have been welcome to the girls as well as the boys.  There was a French settlement here in Huntsville Township: Bouchers, Cariveaus, Genereaus, Piettes, Lipseas, Cotes, DeGagnes, Muniers (Millers) and Guerards were a few of the families that lived here. Grandmother could read and write French as well as English. She taught all her children well in their religion as well as lived it.  Her daughters (Josephine (Mrs. Harvey Jeffrey), Lucy (Mrs. Bert Maiers) and Mother) were married soon after the moved back to the Point. Cora married Fred Jeffrey (Harvey's brother).  Celene married Fred Brousseau and Celene being the youngest of her children and Grandmother being asked to marry an old friend and a widower, Ludger Monda (Clarence Burton's grandfather and possibly related to the Fouberts according to Corrine Beaupre's WPA interview).  She arranged for the boys to take over the farm. She still owed $500 on the farm so she contracted with Griffith's store for 100 cords of green ask cordwood at $5 a cord delivered.  Zeb and Joe cut and delivered the wood but they never reached the bank with it to pay the mortgage.  So the boys lost the farm.  Clarence Burton's father, Odilon Burton bought the farm and his family was raised there. Grandmother, in the meantime, married Ludger Monda and became to us Grandmother Monda.  They lived where Darrell Bushee lives now and later moved to town. They moved to a small one story house that was removed only in 1987. It was across the alley from where Uncle Donald lived on the Point.  She lived there till 1918 when she died of the flu in that flu epidemic that was to take two of her daughters and almost took mother too. Cora Jeffrey died leaving 5 small children and Lucy died in Canada leaving a large family. her husband cared for the children and raised them well, cutting wood for a living.  Zeb, her oldest son, married a neighbor girl, Josephine Piette (sister to Delina's husband Paul). She was a good wife, they lived a quiet farming family life.  They moved to Fisher Branch, Canada and then to Carman, Manitoba where they raised their family." - from Bennett Boushee, 1992
