Note: Notes for Alexis Joseph Demeny: He had military service in the Crimean War at some point between 1857 and 1867.
In August of 1880, Alexis and his wife and three children left their home in Belgium for the last time, and they boarded the ship "Belgenland" in Antwerp, Belgium.
The ship's manifest listed the family with misspelled last names:
Alexis Demeuny, 43, a farmer. "Heloise Pinchart", 38. This was Alexis' wife Marie Eloise Pinchart. She had dropped her technical first name of Marie, and she was known as Eloise. Emile Demeuny, 8. Eugene Demeuny, 4. Charles, Demeuny, 1.
They arrived at the Port of New York on August twenty-sixth.
They went to the unincorporated area called Rosiere, in Brussels, Door County, Wisconsin. The couple's young son Charles died there on September 19, 1880. On April 17, 1882, Alexis and Eliose had a daughter Octavie Demeny, born there in Rosiere.
The family then moved to Kewaunee County, Wisconsin, where on April 7, 1883, Alexis and Eloise had a son named Jules Joseph Demeny. Jules died on April 6, 1890, in Chase, Oconto, Wisconsin.
