I’ve shown you all lots of pictures of my grandfather’s side of the family but not much of my grandmother’s side of the family. So here you go…
This is my Grandma Rose’s brother…known to me as Uncle Ed.
I will have to get with my Aunt Sue in order to find out more information about Uncle Ed because to be honest that all I know.
Off to possibly find out more information about Uncle Ed.

In the last month or so I have shared Samuel and Alice’s oldest son, James, today I want to share with you another one of their children George.
George Beaubien was on twelve children, born on February 21, 1895.
I always wondered if I ever had a family member that was in one of the World Wars. My grandfather was to young for World War One and to old for World War Two. Comes to find out, that George was in World War One. He was a Private First Call (PFC) in the United States Army. He served from May 5th 1917 to August 4th 1919 in the 4th Field Artillery Brigade.

About a month of so ago I posted about my Grandfather’s grandfather and grandmother, Samuel and Alice Beaubien.
I also posted about my Grandfather’s father and mother, James and Delia Beaubien.
Today I will post about my Grandfather’s older brother, Howard and his wife Kathryn.

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to Lyndsey! Happy Birthday to me!
On June 12, 1990 I was born! It was a rainy Tuesday…okay I have no idea what the weather was or what day it fell on. However, now that I think about it, I can probably look it up on Google…
Off to Google…
Okay that’s kind of funny. I totally just guessed a day, I promise I didn’t go look it up before hand!
However, I was wrong on the whole rain thing…I was born near Detroit (Dearborn, MI) so I will take Detroit weather for being pretty similar to Dearborn.
Me
My brother
You may be wondering why I am including a picture of my brother, Pat, in a post about me and my birthday…but it’s actually quite a funny story. My mom has our hospital pictures in frames in her curio cabinet. When I was little I asked her who the babies in the pictures were. My mom pointed to the pictures and said “That’s your brother and that’s you.” And I instantly started crying an responded ” I don’t want to be the ugly baby.” My brother was awake and alert when he had his picture taken and well I was woken up they could take my picture…this might actually explain why I hate it when people wake me up.
I ended up being a pretty cute kid, even though I was the ugly baby…
I had ridiculous curly hair…mini Shirley Temple going on. I still have crazy curly hair but I love it. They say that all the girls with straight hair want curly hair and all the girls with curly hair want straight hair…I don’t want straight her. I have a hair straighter but I couldn’t tell you the last time I actually used it. I just brace the craziness that is my hair, I don’t have the time or the patience to go through straightening my hair.

Last week I shared a few pictures of my Grandfather’s grandfather and grandmother, Samuel and Alice Beaubien.
Today I am sharing my Grandfather’s parents, James and Delia (Nadeau) Beaubien.
James Beaubien was the oldest of twelve children, his parents were Samuel and Alice (Schock). James was born on April 9, 1881. He passed away November 9, 1933.
Delia Nadeau was the oldest daughter, third child of six children, her parents were Samuel Nadeau and Josephine (Sancrant). Delia was born March 16, 1888. She passed away December 25, 1970. Story has it that when my grandfather had gone over to drop of Christmas gifts she had passed away. My dad remembers how she always made him meat pies and they called her “MeMe”.
Delia Beaubien
I can’t seem to find exactly when James and Delia got married, however, if I had to guess it was sometime between 1906 and 1910. I found something kind of cool on Ancestry, the 1900 census that shows that the Beaubiens and Nadeaus were neighbors and both farmers. James was 19 years old at the time and Delia was 12 years old. Not to often anymore that people marry their neighbors.

They had eight children…
The oldest Howard Beaubien was born June 5, 1909.
Pearl Beaubien was born in 1912.
James Amos Beaubien (my grandfather) was born September 30, 1914.
Joseph Beaubien was born September 19, 1917.
Loretta Beaubien was born in 1922.
Eugene Beaubien was born December 22, 1923.
Eileen Beaubien was born in 1924.
Ethel Beaubien was born in 1925.
I always knew that the name James ran in the family; my dad, grandfather, great grandfather and great-great uncle were all name James.

Along time ago I found a stack of old photos in my Grandmother’s chest and she told me with great memory of who almost every person in the pictures were (mind you she was 90 at the time). Unfortunately at the time I didn’t think to write down the people in the pictures, so I have stack of pictures and have very little idea who they are. There are a few that I remember who they are (well not names) like the pictures below. These are my Grandfather’s Grandparents, Samuel and Alice Beaubien. I assume that these pictures were taking on their wedding day.
Samuel & Alice (Schock) Beaubien Circa 1880
Samuel & Alice (Schock) Beaubien Circa 1880
I actually had to use Ancestry to find out their names…I was literally armed with knowing that my Grandfather’s Father’s Name was James and that his mother’s name was Della. I’d have to say it’s pretty to now know a few things about a family I ever knew. My Grandfather Beaubien passed away before both my brother and I were born, his father passed away before my father was born…so lets just hope that my father stays around to see his grandchildren.
Anyways back to Samuel and Alice.
Samuel Beaubien was born in October 1851. Alice Schock was born in February 1863. They married in 1880 and had a total of twelve children (I’ll talk about them a little later). It looks like they were farmers in Frenchtown, Monroe, Michigan; also from this 1900 Census it shows nine of the twelve children (the last three had not been born yet).
Samuel passed away on June 16, 1923 and Alice passed away Christmas Day (December 25) 1935.
They had twelve children…

I have many more pictures and people that I want to share but also have a lot of research that I still need to do.

Last July, two of my girlfriends and I went to Faster Horses Festival…
I believe there was sixteen country acts on the main stage with local acts on a smaller stage. The headliners for the event were Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. Other acts that we got to see were Jake Owen, Chris Young (in the pouring rain), Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, and Thompson Square just to name a few.
It was not only the first big musical festival that I have ever been to but it was the first time I spent more then a night away from Hank. In total I was away from my boy for FOUR days.
Thursday we moved into camp and after we got all set up, we went down to a friend’s camper to play some beer pong…yeah I fell asleep in the lawn chair and amazed everyone by my ability to sleep just about anywhere.
Friday night we got to see Jake Owen and Dierks Bentley.
Jake Owen’s set.
Jake Owen! As you can see in the middle of the July shirts are quite optional…
Jake Owen on the big screen.
Jake Owen making way for Chris Young.
Chris Young! Oh how do I love him. Unfortunately it started to down pour in middle of his set
but they put plastic and tarps over the electronics and he kept on singing.
More Chris Young.
Dierks Bentley!
Oh Dierks…how I love him.
It was a long night of amazing music and lots of beer.
Saturday night the stage was hopping with Florida Georgia Line, Thompson Square and Luke Bryan.
Luke Bryan!
More Luke! Oh how I love you.
Sunday night was Jason Aldean. Unfortunately since I am a huge Jason Aldean fan and the fact that we got there kind of late (blame the extra couple of beers) we didn’t get very good place to watch from so all my photos are from him on the big screen. I have way better pictures of Jason from a different concert.
I wish I would be able to go again this year. There will be Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban. Plus many more including Kip Moore…who doesn’t love Kip Moore!
