Seraphin La Londe, of Sault Ste, Marie, Michigan, is a genuine landmark of this locality, and is the oldest settler in point of residence now living here who is not a native of this county. Mr. La Londe has resided at this place since 1826 and has been an eye witness to its growth from a hamlet containing only three white families to its present size and beauty.

It was when a child and with his father Francis La Londe that our subject came to Sault Ste. Marie, coming here from Manitoba.

His father Francis La Londe had resided in Manitoba for ten years previous to that time, employed as a voyager for the Hudson Bay Fur company, having entered their service in Lower Canada some years before. He was born of French parents in Quebec, in 1767, and was a farmer till going into the employ of the above named company.

His father was transferred to the Red river country, where his son, Seraphin, was born May 12, 1822.

Our subjects mother was before her marriage Miss Josette Marlow, and he was seventeenth of eighteen children. The only ones beside himself of this remarkable family who survive are Mrs. Barbeau and Mrs. Daziell.

When a youth Seraphin Lalonde lived with his brother-in-law, Mr. Barbeau, then an employee of the American Fur Company, but later a fur-dealer and merchant of Sault Ste. Marie, two terms a member of the Michigan Legislature and at death a man of much wealth.

When Mr. La Londe launched out for himself he established a wood yard and dock at Sailors' Encampment, and conducted the same for eight years; but his business, not yielding such returns as to make it satisfactory, he gave it up and came back to Sault Stel Marie. Here he secured work on the lakes a part of the three seasons following. He was next Custom Inspector under Mr. McMahan, serving as such seven years and a half. On retiring from Government service he bought a small farm near town and the succeeding fifteen years was a tiller of the soil.

During the rapid increase of value in city realty in the "Soo" in 1887 Mr. La Londe disposed of some of his property at handsome figures, and with this additional capital he improved a portion of his remaining holdings, erecting one of the most comfortable and commodious homes in the city, where he is now spending most pleasantly his declining years.

Thus has the orphan boy who started out in life with no capital save a strong constitution and willing hands been rewarded for his honest and untiring industry. To-day he occupies a position among the wealthy and influential citizens of Sault Ste Marie.

In 1849 Mr. La Londe married Miss Charlotte, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Rosseau, her father a French-Canadian. Mrs. Rosseau is still living, having attained the extreme old age of ninety years, and makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. La londe, Mr. and Mrs La Londe are the parents of the following children: William S., Sault Ste. Marie; J. E., Ishpeming, Michigan; Sophia, wife of Charles H. Pease, Sault Ste. Marie; Henry J., of the firm of P. C. Keifer & Company of this city, has been a prominent business man here for a number of years; Louise L., Wife of Dr. Daziell, Minneapolis; and Adelaide Olive, at home. Augusta and Joseph A. are deceased. ^[5]
