      JOSEPH AND DULICE DEMARAIS ST. MARIE

      Joseph St Marie, son of Henry and Marie Goulet St Marie, was born in Louisville township, Red Lake county in 1902. He attended the Catholic school in Crookston until his completion of the eighth grade when he left school to help his father on the farm

      In 1925 he married Dulice Demarais, daughter of Philip Demarais. They lived first on the Bison farm in Gervais Township and later moved to farms formerly owned by Charles Patnode and Roy Walker.
      On his first farm, Joseph started out owning two cows. Values have changed considerably since 1929 when he sold his first cow for twelve dollars. Dulice churned butter to trade at the store for groceries and Joseph would cut and haul a load of wood to town for money to buy a pair of overalls.
      Joseph served on the county district 112 school board for several years, and the teacher boarded at the St Marie home for eighteen dollars a month. Their son Raymond received three dollars each month for hauling the daily supply of water to the school.

      In 1959, the St. Marie's moved to Red Lake Falls where both Joseph and Dulice were employed at the Alma Mobile Homes, later the Detroiter plant.

      Eight children were born to Joseph and Dulice St. Marie: Raymond. Delbert. JoAnn (Brunelle). Marlys (Vaudrin), Carol (Pederson), Julie (King), and Robert. who is deceased. There are twenty-six grandchildren at this time.
