Marie Illumina was born in Rimouski in 1882 and Marie Amelie "Minnie" Gamache was born in Rimouski in 1884. The family immigrated to Champion, Michigan, in 1884 and Peter worked there as a miner. The couple's three sons were born in Champion: Edmund in 1887, William in 1888 and Frederick in 1890. Around 1895, they moved to Hermansville in Menominee County. ? Peter and Ora and their children built their Meyer Township home in the middle of a French-Canadian community, turning cut-over, stump-filled forest land into farmland, where they grew potatoes and raised cattle, pigs and other livestock. ?
