yea s.- . '- : .' ' ' :- . . ' ' ''
Thus passed away during-"the height
of the festive season character known
in Salem for nearly forty years as
Old French Joe and known to his
intim ites as a man with quite a history
a 1 istory in. which personal .bravery,
darin?, privation, industry and niisfor-
r - '
tu:.e l.ave l,' n r.I:.,', l in v.ny to give
etie- eo'..rii;g to the recital. '; .
2.1r, Sinieneaa was born near Nancy,
fin Lorraine, ia IS.?. He was a soldier
- B te annv cf LoU;9 PiiIIlpe,-who was
ruler of France from 1S30 to 1S4S, and
s;rved in the artillery at .Strasbourg,
lie was one of the picked volunteers
who formed the Chasseurs de Afrique
and took 'part in the African campaigns
for seven years. Waen .the revolution
of 1S4S broke out Joe became mixed
up in it and found it convenient to his
comfort to leave France, which he did,
coming to the United States and settling
at New Orleans, where he clerked for a
time with a wholesale house, going later
to St. Lonis, Mo. From there he en
tered an engagement with United States
government to bring the mail across the
Rocky ' mountains to Fort Vancouver
and this journey he performed on foot,
fbe greater part of it during the winter,
and consuming about six months in the
trip.; , .' ;..' --; ''V . .
For the last named service ha re
ceived fSOO compensation and with this
he concluded to make a home on the
Pacific coast, selecting Champoeg,
arouad which- several settlers of
French extraction were located. " Here
ho. took up a farm and lived prosperous
ly until the Hood of 1861, which de
stroyed his entire personal belongings
and also left the farm worthless.
In the meantime, Joe had married a
- - 'i
woman of German parentage, whose
family lived at Corvallis and they had
two children. After the flood, Joe went
to eastern Oregon and started a pack
train through the Snake river country
to the mines, and while thus engaged
his wife, who was with him, died and
be packed her body on a mule back to
Umatilla landing. Their two children
were placed in the Sisters' school ia Sa
lem for education, but in a few years
they , both died and are buried in the
Catholic cemetery south of this city. '
Mr. Simeneau never made any finan
cial accumulation since the disaster of
1861, and since coming to Salem in the
late -CO 's he worked on farms, or at
tending brick masons and such odd
jobs as came his way until a few years
ago when old age and decreptitude dis
abled him. lie was a large, powerful
man in his day, and those who knew
him best speak of him as an honest,
reliable man in all his dealings. Paul
Oberheim, When' living, was a kind
friend to old Joe and since Paul's death
Fred Neckerman has assisted and
watched over the old man with kindly
care,' but in the summer of 1904 it be
came necessary to give him constant at
tention, so hewas taken to the county
poor farm, where he died after a period
of utter physical helplessness; 5 Mr.
Neckerman was faithful to the last and
a short time ago took up a subscription
among 'old acquaintances so as to pro
vide a suitable funeral when the end
came. The funeral, n-rvices were held
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock at b't.
Joseph's church and he will be buried
in the Catholic cemetery.
