Notes
a. Note:   Article appearing in the Rochester Post Bulletin, December 18, 1929: "PIONEER GOODHUE WOMAN, WHO AS A CHILD WALKED FROM ILLINOIS TO MINNESOTA, HAPPY BY PRESENCE OF ENTIRE FAMILY - MRS. JOSEPHINE DARCY, 88 YEARS OLD, RECALLS INDIAN PLAYMATES:
 Mazeppa, Dec 18. --- Mrs. Josephine Darcy of Chester township, Goodhue county, who, when a girl, walked nearly all the way from Illinois to Minnesota, is at present being made happy at the age of 88, by the presence of all her children at her home. She was 88 years old in October, and has lived in Chester township 80 years. When a child eight years old, Josephine Bouillard came to Goodhue county in a covered wagon train, accompanying her parents. Their outfit was drawn by a yoke of oxen from Galena, Ill. and the little girl walked almost all the way because she had to drive the hogs and cattle. On the trail and in the new territory she came to know the hardships of pioneer times, but in her advanced age she is enjoying good health and is exceptionally active. She feeds her chickens, takes care of her own room, mends and sews and makes her own house dresses and aprons. After she was married to Hugh Darcy they preempted the farm on which she now lives with her son, Edward. Mrs. Darcy was the mother of eight children, but two of whom, Sarah and Elizabeth, have died. The others are with their mother this week. They are: Edward, on the farm; James J. Darcy, Mrs Josephine Gombert, Mazeppa; Hugh, Detroit Lakes; Frank. Nimiskam, Alberta; and William Darcy, Kansas City, Mo. There are 16 grandchildren. During Mr. and Mrs. Darcy's early married life, they attended church at Lake City, making the trip behind a yoke of oxen. Indians were frequent callers at the Bouillard and Darcy homes and the little Indian boys and girls played with the white children and enjoyed meals at the tables of the settlers. The copper-colored youngsters were fond of bread, Mrs. Darcy recalls, and she says that they frequently came to the homes of settlers, asking for this kind of food."
