He immigrated in 1854, had applied for naturalization in 1857, and was naturalized in 1860 but the paperwork was lost. The judge found that "..Mathieu Pousson is hereby declared to be a duly naturalized citizen of the United States of America: and that a certificate issue to him as such granted in open court this 12th day of October A D 1878".[14] In 1880 Mathieu was now working as a farmer, living in the same house with his wife and 8 children.[11] In 1900 and 1910, Mathieu and Euphrosine were still in Pointe aux Loups (Wolf's Point) area, what is now called Iota, Acadia Parish, LA with only their youngest son Galbert still at home.[15] [16] Mathieu lived next to his cousin's Bertrand "Cadet" and Adele for most of his life in what is now Iota, Acadia Parish, LA.
