Newspaper Article:
Blake Is A Near Hero
__
Peter Blake, of Hyde, came near being a hero yesterday. He essayed the hero role and for his pains got a ducking. When a horse and rig, belonging to John Gauthier, a storekeeper at Hyde, was backed into the Ford River yesterday, Blake rushed to the scene to effect a speedy rescue. The horse was floundering in the water, dragging a delivery wagon about the stream. The banks were high and the animal could not get footing. Leaping to the rig, Blake attempted to turn the horse to the place where he had reached the stream but instead struck deeper water and it was a wet and disappointed hero that emerged a few minutes later. By swimming down the stream, the horse found a low place in the bank and after men cut loose the harness, the horse and the rig were saved.
A son of Mr. Gauthier was driving the horse on the bank of the river, near the county bridge and when the animal started to back up, the entire outfit plunged into the river.

Additional information:
John Gregory Gauthier took out a life insurance policy through the Knights of Columbus in the amount of $1000.00.

"THE FOUNDING OF HYDE"
"Hyde is a little village located between Escanaba and Bark River, on Highways US 2 & 41. It was formerly called Ford River Switch, because the trains "switched" there...."
"The main buildings at Hyde were the Store and the Tavern. The first store owner was a Mr. Forgette, who also ran the Post Office. There was no post office in Pine Ridge, so residents there came to Hyde to get their mail and also buy their groceries at the store. Herman Dittrich later ran the store which was also a "tea room" where ice cream and pop were sold. Then John Gauthier purchased it and made it into a "general" store. Practically everything was sold here, including clothing, groceries, grain, feed, a little of this and a lot of that. The store was the hub of the little community, and farmers and farmer's wives would gather there to talk and get the news of the village. In the winter, the men would sit around the old, pot-bellied stove and swap tales and perhaps eat soda crackers and dill pickles from the barrels nearby. There was also a back room where the men could play pool."
"...Gauthier's clerk was a young man named Frank Blake. He worked for Gauthier for a number of years and bought the store in 1947."



Additional information:
"The centers of activity at Hyde were the two main buildings - the store and the tavern. The first store owner was a Mr. Forgette who also ran the post office. Herman Dittrich later ran the store which was also a "tea room" where ice cream and pop were sold. Later John Gauthier purchase it and made it into a real "general" store selling groceries, farmers' clothing, grain and feed. The store was the real hub of the little community where the farmers and their wives would gather to exchange the news of the village. During the long, cold winter months when farm work was slack, the men gathered around the old, pot-bellied wood stove to swap tales and eat soda crackers and dill pickles from the wooden barrels nearby. And some of them would play pool in the back room. Gauthier's clerk was Frank Blake who worked for Gauthier for a number of years and then bought the store in 1947, running it for many years. In 1973 the building was converted into apartments by A & M Builders."

Gregory Gauthier, Pioneer, Adopted The Name Of John
by Jean Worth.
"When I tried to collect a history of the little ghost town of Cedar River I was mystified for a time over the seeming conflict in occupations of a man named Johnny Gauthier.
I knew a Johnny Gauthier of Menominee who was boom man for the Crawford Cedar Co. there but when people told me that Johnny Gauthier was not a boom man but a bookkeeper in the Crawford office, Cedar River, I suspected that there must be two Johnny Gauthiers (sic) and this proved to be the case.
Howard Nadeau, the president of the Commerical Bank of Menominee, told me about the Bookkeeper Johnny Gauthier. Howard is a member of the Nadeau family for whom the village and township of Nadeau in Menominee County are named and the Bookkeeper Johnny Gauthier lived there for years.
Johnny Gokey
The two men roomed together when they attended Ferris Institute at Big Rapids, Mich., and Howard risked murder there on one occasion by thumbtacking to the ceiling a week's supply of the letters which Johnny got daily from his sweetheart.
John Gauthier died August 26 in St. Francis Hospital in Escanaba. He was 79 years old.
His name was not John, but Gregory Gauthier. "They called me John when I was a kid and I adopted it," he explained. "Most people call me John Gokey." (That's what they called Boom Man Johnny Gauthier, too.)
John Gauthier was born in Alfred, Ontario, Canada, May 31 1879 and came to the United States with his parents when he was 6. His father, Telesphore Gauthier, and his mother, the former Catherine LeClair, were both born in Canada and were both French.
38 Grandsons In War
When I spent an afternoon with him at his home in Bark River in 1956 he said that there were eight members of his family living, his oldest sister being 84 and his oldest brother 83. His own family had four boys and four girls.
"When my father was 60 I had a nephew who worked on a New York paper and I gathered the information on the family for him and my father had 142 grandchildren and 172 great-grandchildren and 17 in the fifth generation. There were 35 grandsons in the service in World War II at the time of my father's death and three more joined afterward so he had 38 grandchildren in World War II.
"My folks came to this country just after they got married because things were tough on the farm in Canada. My father came here with a friend of his to Champion to work. He got a job at an iron mine wheeling ore to a stockpile with a barrow and was there a year or two and then drifted to Nadeau and was 70 years on a farm there.
Becomes A Nun
The people in our family were: Delia, Mrs. Nick Bodette of Escanaba, who had 15 kids; Pete of Munising, whose wife died when she was having her 12th child and who married again but had no more children; Georgianna, Mrs. Joseph Racicot, of Neenah, Wis., a widow who had 14 children; Joseph who died at 14 in Nadeau; Emma, Mrs. Emil Faille of Chicago who had eight children; Louise, Mrs. Jerry Verbunker (everyone calls it Bunker) of Neenah, who had 15 children, and Laura, Mrs. Adolph Seymour of Midland, Mich., who had seven children.
John Gauthier
"I want to tell you about her. She raised a family at Iron Mountain and after they moved to Midland, they bought a big house and took in roomers and her husband had a stroke and died. After the children were married my sister got to be quite a church worker. She had a daughter who was a Carmelite nun in Green Bay, Wis. for 18 years and when she was 64 years old my sister told her children "I'm going to be a nun; I'm going to sell this house. Whoever wants to buy it can buy it." Her son George bought it for $10,000 and she gave each of them $1,000 and took the rest and told the priest that she was going to become a nun. He said, all right, but when? She said "I'm going tomorrow morning."
Return To School
"She was the liveliest one of the family and a good teacher. She took her last vows as a nun when she was 69 years old. She had traveled a good deal as a teacher and they wanted her to do the buying for the order at Green Bay, but she said that she wouldn't leave the convent. We go to see her and she is a lively as ever."
"Also in our family were Della, Mrs. Charles Dezer, whose husband is an eye-ear-nose and throat specialist in New York City, and they have three kids; Napolean (sic), who had three children and who died in 1954 at Cleveland and whose son disappeared in the Normandy invasion; and Florence, Mrs. Jerry Beaudoin, who had two children and who is now dead.
"And my folks went back to Canada for a funeral and they brought back a child, one of five in the family of a sister-in-law. He was Harry LeClair, a railroad man who's retired and living in Escanaba. He had six girls. Besides these 11 and the adopted one, my folks had several others who died young.
"I grew up in Nadeau and got through the fourth grade in school and then didn't go to school for seven years. I worked for my father-in-law, old Barney Nadeau. Then I went back to school"
Another Johnny Gokey
"The school teachers all stayed at Nadeau's and I talked with them and then I went to Ferris Institute at Big Rapids for three years and came out in 1904. That's how I got to be a bookkeeper.
"There was another Johnny Gokey at Cedar River and when I worked there for Crawfords he was a boom man and he would stop in the middle of the river and get down on one knee on the tiecut and drink a bottle of beer. He was that good a boom man."
"My brother Napoleon was offered a job by S. Crawford & Sons at Cedar River but he went to Ogelby Norton and I went to Cedar River in 1911. I was working for the DeGrande Feed Store in Escanaba at the time. I stayed in Cedar River until Feb. 22, 1914. After the big mill burned in 1911 there wasn't much to do."
Biggest Flagpole
"Gideon T. Werline at Nadeau wanted a flagpole higher than Nadeau Brothers because he was a Democrat and they were Republicans. He wanted a 75-foot pole and a fellow we'll call Matt of Jam Dam cut a pole that long for Werline. It had a 7 inch top and was straight as a die, a beauty."
"He delivered it to Nadeau and he had a hard time getting it out of the woods. I was going to school that morning and Matt was going to roll it off the sleigh and Werline said not to roll it off because it would break on that frosty morning, but Matt couldn't wait and he rolled the pole off and it broke in two. He was almost crying "That's what a man gets," he said, "for stealing."
"Did you steal it," asked Werline.
"I got it on Crawford's land," said Matt. Then he cut up the broken pole and took it to Nadeau Brothers and went back and cut another 75-foot pole on Crawford's land and delivered it to Werline, but it wasn't as straight as the first one. Werline paid him $25 for it.
Stealing From River
"They stole from Crawfords all along the Cedar River. Back of Carney it was 20 miles from Cedar River and they used to cut cedar and take it to Carney and sell it. One year the Crawfords put in a cedar yard at Carney and the jobbers would cut cedar on Crawford land and then haul it to Carney and sell to the Crawford yard."
"They stuck the Crawfords for so much taxes on their Carney yard that they moved it to Menominee and they didn't pay half as much taxes in the city there as they had paid in Carney."
"There were skidways on the river at Gourley a half a mile long and some of the settlers there would sink a picaroon into a pole in the river and put a line on it away they'd to with it up on the bank."
"But the Crawfords got rich anyway."
Goats on Barn
"Dave Crawford used to tell us how to raise things. Once he put in 40 acres of onions and in the fall they were pretty cheap and he put them in a building and they all froze in the bushel crates. Everybody was laughing at him because of his frozen onions, but he sold them for $2 a bushel in the spring."
"He used to have goats there, too, but the sons of guns all killed themselves. They would fall off the roof of the barn or off the high lumberpiles; I guess they were mountain goats."
When a lumber barge would come in and put down a gangplank before the captain knew it he had four or five goats aboard and they had to carry them off. When you came to work in the morning there were usually four or five on the roof of the horsebarn and the barn boss would get so mad that he would scream "There they are again!"

Hyde
__
Hyde, a little village located between Escanaba and Bark River, on Highway US-2 and 41, was an outgrowth of the closing of the lumber mills at Ford River. Men were forced to seek other employment, and many became farmers or woodsworkes and settled in this area. The village settled in this area.
The village received its name from a man names Welcome Hyde who once owned considerable property in the area but it was call Ford River Switch for many years because the trains "switched" there.
The first postmaster of Hyde was Alexander Morin, in 1890. The office was closed in 1913. The story of Hyde includes part of Wells Township, as well as Ford River Township; as the road north of the village is the dividing line between the two townships. The residents on the east side belong to Wells township, and the residents on the west side to Ford River township. Some years ago, part of Bark River Township was also included in Ford River Township.
The centers of activity at Hyde were the two main buildings - the store and the tavern. The first store owner was a Mr. Forgette who also ran the post office. Herman Dittrich later ran the store which was also a "tea room" where ice cream and pop were sold. Later John Gauthier purchase it and made it into a real "general" store selling groceries, farmers' clothing, grain and feed. The store was the real hub of the little community where the farmers and their wives would gather to exchange the news of the village. During the long, cold winter months when farm work was slack, the men gatherered around the old, potbellied wood stove to swap tales and eat soda crackers and dill pickles from the wooden barrels nearby. And some of them would play pool in the back room. Gauthier's clerk was Frank Blake who workd for Gauthier for a number of years and then bought the store in 1947, running it for many years. In 1973 the building was converted into apartments by A & M Builders.
