The only surviving member of a family of seven girls and two boys, she was lM»rn in 18«2, to Joseph and Selina Boudreau in Blackbrtxjk, Clinton Coftnty, New' York. After moving west the Boudreau family first settled in Negaunee. and at the age of thirteen Mrs. LeMire remembers coming to Garden, rler father and several other men had moved their families here in anticipation of the opening of a saw mill on Garden Creek, owned by Antoine Deluna, father of the late Henry Deioria. Later this mill was moved to Van’s Harbor.As Mrs. LeMire first remembers Garden, it was a wilderness with a few k»g cabins along Garden Creek, occupied bv the whites and a few Indian families who were living in the area ai the time. What is now main street, was then a mere foot path. Some of the first buildings to be erected, after the mill was built were the homes now ownt»d by the Robert Tatrow family and Mrs. Burough, and the Joseph Deloria barber shop, which a* the time was a small general store and the dwelling of the Antoine Delona family, 'fhe homes occupied by the James Tatrow' and John Guei tin families are also some of the first to be built m Garden.After tlieir marriage in 1879, Mr. LcMire. an immigrant from Mas-ktnlonge, Canada, and a carpenter by trade, built the home in which Mrs. LeMire still resides with her daughter and son-in-hyw Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gauthier. Mrs. Gauthier is an only child and there is only one grandson, Paul Gauthier. who at present is serving in the U. S. Navy in San Francisco.
