Indian Tribes and Fur Traders Who Liued
in Valley of Grand Riuer Many Years Ago
(By m Farrell, Ada Mich)
(By VIM. Farrell, Ada Mich.)

The first agent at the trading post
So wan-que Sake, meaning forkeC
stream, was Joseph La Framboise O.
Mackinaw. He was killed by a Chip
pewa Indian because he refused L
give him whiskey, where Milwaukee
now stands, in 1904.
Who was Madam La Frambose
She was no common person. Her
father was a French Canadian and her
mother was the daughter of a power
full war chief of the Chippewas. She
was highly educated at Montreal
Canada. She was the widow of JOS
eph La Framboise. She was a bust
ness woman; successful fur trader
and Judge of furs. She was an excel
lent housekeeper; she was tasty; she
was an honor to womanhood; never
allowed any liquor to be sold or trad
ed for fur! she was engaged with the
American Fur Company, which was
really John Jacob Astor; she conduct
ed the most successful establishment
in the Grand River valley.
The Catholic church and convent
stand on ten acres donated by her and
beneath the altar is her tomb, died in
1848, Joseph in 1904, Josephine 1921.
Among the elements of civilization
scattered from old Mackinaw among
the forest of the northwest none were
more romantic and more fruitful than
those planted by the La Franchises
in the last of the 18th and the first
of the 18th century, on Grand river.
The Indians of the old Owashtenong
have gone to the happy hunting
