MARIE AGNÈS (MORIN) DELARONDE Marie Agnès Morin was the youngest daughter of Pierre Cyprien and Marie Morin. Pierre Cyprien had two children recorded in the Green Lake baptismal record, the first being Marie Agnès. These records show that Marie Agnès was born in 1875 and that she was baptized on December 2 of that same year. The first wedding that took place in the Green Lake Catholic Church in 1894 was that of Agnès Morin and William DeLaronde, born in 1870. William and Agnès had five girls and two boys. The names of their children, as they appear in the Green Lake Catholic Church record, were: Elise, Velina, Clara Mathilde, Marie Rose, Julienne Catherine, and Joachim William. Another child named George, who was also known as “Zachary,” was not on this list as he was the last to be born before his father died. William DeLaronde died October 24, 1909 in Meadow Lake. At the time of his death, he was 39-years-old according to the St. Cyprien Cemetery record. In his Halfbreed Scrip application, William provided June 26, 1874 as his date of birth rather than 1870. His parents were recorded as Paul DeLaronde and Margaret Sinclair. William also added that he was born in Water Hen River, Manitoba. Marie Agnès’s Scrip application also provided more information including December 2, 1875 as her date of birth, and Green Lake as her place of birth. William and Marie Agnès both received 240 acres for their Scrip applications. Some years after William’s death in 1909, Agnès married Antoine Kennedy of Green Lake, who had been widowed in 1916. No date is available for when they were married but they had one child by the name of Eva, also known as “Dsi-Dsin,” who was born in 1919 or 1920. Eva married John Roy of Green Lake. Marie Agnès passed away on September 24, 1931 and was buried in the St. Cyprien Cemetery. Marie Agnès donated a piece of land for the St. Cyprien Cemetery when her husband died in 1909, making her husband the first person to be buried there.
