Summary

John Papineau (1832–1904) is named as the late father of Henry Papineau, one of the men lost in the June 1914 Vega burning. The source says he settled in the area in the 1850s.

Evidence and limits

The Clarke Historical Library material supplies a year-level birth date and an exact death date. It does not establish a full civil birth record, spouse, or complete Papineau family reconstruction.

Sources

  1. Charlevoix Courier, June 17, 1914, “Boat burns off Beaver Island,” reprinted in the 2003 scrapbook section.
    Identifies the late John Papineau as Henry Papineau's father and says John settled in the area in the 1850s. No public copy of this file is known; the archive holds one and can provide it on request.
  2. The library’s John Papineau card, drawing on Northern Michigan and census material, gives a Cleveland birth in 1832 and death in Charlevoix on August 5, 1904. Its settlement chronology is consistent with the 1914 report’s identification of Henry’s father as an 1850s regional settler.
