Massena Observer, Thursday, 29 September 1898: A Brasher Man Robbed - An
acquaintance formed in Canton jail turns out badly - Edward Lachamp, of
Brasher Center, Robbed of $50 in Ogdensburg, and badly used up -- About a month
ago Edward LaChamp, or Lashomb, commonly called, of Brasher Centre, was
arrested in Massena for disorderly conduct, and sentenced to 30 days in Canton
jail. While there he formed the acquaintance of a female prisoner, Mrs. Susan
Depotsey. Her sentence expired first, and on leaving jail she invited
LaChamp to come up to the city when his sentence expired and she would show him
the sights. His sentence expired last week Tuesday and he forthwith proceeded to
the "only city” carrying $54 in a leather wallet. Susan met him and together
they made a round of the saloons and soon were both gloriously drunk. Then Susan
threw LaChamp over for another fellow. Later LaChamp was ordered off the street
by the police, when a man named William Smith said he would take charge
of LaChamp until he was sober, and they went off together. LaChamp turned up in
the morning presenting a pitiable appearance. His face and hands were covered
with blood and his clothing was saturated. Both eyes were blackened and swollen
almost shut, and there was a cut on the side of his face. He was taken to police
headquarters and lodged a complaint, and soon Smith and "Bill" Gagnon
were under arrest. Gagnon was seen arguing with LaChamp about midnight, and when
arrested he had several dollars in his possession. LaChamp positively
identified Smith as his assailant, and both prisoners were held to await the
action of the grand jury this week. LaChamp is 59 years old and has a
wife and four children at Brasher Centre. He has been a source of
considerable annoyance to the Massena police and the last time was given 30 days
at Canton. He was sent to Canton to be detained as a witness.
Notes for Marie Lacombe:
Obituary: Massena Observer, Thursday, 1 February
1912: Brasher Center: Mrs. Mary Lashomb died at an early hour Monday
morning from dropsy. All that willing hands and loving hearts could do was
done for her but God knows best. She was born in 1823, in lower Canada and
moved to the United States with her parents when a young girl and lived here
since. Fifty-nine years ago she married Edward Lashomb, who died
twelve years ago. Seven children were born to them, four of whom survive
her: Henry, of Massena, Michael, of Norwood, Mrs. Julia Compo,
of Brasher, and Mrs. John Raymo with whom she has lived since her
husband's death. She was respected and loved by all who knew her and will
be greatly missed. She was laid to rest at the R.C. church at Brasher.
Father Sullivan read requiem high mass.

New York birth/marriage/death items in RED have come from newspaper obituaries, some marriage announcements, and occasional birth announcements. In a few obituaries, the birth/marriage year given may not match up to census notations/childrens' births, so I have adjusted those accordingly.
