BARNEY
VALIQUETTE is one of the young and progressive
farmers of Carroll township, Ottawa county, of which
township he is native born, his birth having occurred
Sept. 28, 1870, and he is a son of James and
Elizabeth (Doroucher) Valiquette. The early
life of our subject was spent upon the homestead farm,
and in the public schools of the neighborhood he
acquired his education. In connection with his
farm duties he also assisted his father in
mercantile pursuits. On Feb. 6, 1895, he was
united in marriage with Miss Dora Pickard, a
daughter of Andrew and Serdelia (Moore) Pickard.
JAMES
VALIQUETTE, the father of our subject was born in
Monroe Mich., Nov. 23, 1823, and is a son of Joseph
and Monique (Gainer) Valiquette, both natives of
Monroe county, Mich., and of French-Canadian ancestry.
In their family were nine children, four of whom still
survive, namely: James; T. Isadore, a resident of
La Crosse, Wis.; Henry of Toledo, Ohio; and
Matilda, wife of Rahael Navare, of
Toledo. The father of this family served with
distinction in the war of 1812, and was a prominent
farmer of his native county, where his death occurred in
February, 1861. His faithful and devoted wife
survived him for some years and passed from earth in
Carroll township. Like the majority of the youth
of his day, James Valiquette received only such
education as could be obtained in the primitive log
schoolhouse, and only at such times as he could be
spared from the farm duties, which in those days took
precedence to education. In 1846, he came to
Ottawa county, the trip from Michigan being made by way
of the canal, and on his arrival made his home in
Carroll township, which at that time was a vast forest,
inhabited principally by Indians. Here he has
since resided and to-day ranks among the oldest living
pioneer residents in the county. In 1848 he began
merchandising, which he continued in connection with
agricultural pursuits until 1885, since which time he
has lived a comparatively retired life, resting in the
enjoyment of the fruits of his former toil.
In Monroe county, Mich., May 26, 1850, was celebrated the
marriage of James Valiquette and Elizabeth Doroucher,
daughter of Lawrence and Monique (Saucombe) Doroucher,
who were the parents of nine children, six of whom are
still living; Lawrence, Saucombe, Luke, Cleopha (widow
of Anthony Miltz), Marie (wife of
Henry Latour), and the mother of our subject.
Mrs. Valiquette was born in Monroe, Mich., July 22,
1829, and by her marriage has become the other of
children whose names and dates of birth are as follows:
Elizabeth, Apr. 11, 1851, died Apr. 25, 1879;
Caroline, April 15, 1853, died Apr. 25, 1861;
Saucombe, July 29, 1855; Clara, Oct. 7, 1859,
now the wife of D. M. McLean, of Kalamazoo,
Mich.; Annie, July 10, 1861; and Barney.
