• Notes

  He was a mountain man and probably was from a French Canadian ennobled family from Maskanonga, Canada, who married into the Blackfoot Indians while fur trapping in the Rocky Mountains. These Indians turned against the white man. In the early 1840's he is shown living in the Half Breed Neighborhood near the Thurman area, where (1) he has Blackfoot children baptized by traveling Jesuit priests, and (2) where he undoubtedly knew the Robideaus' and Old Caleb Greenwood very well. He then married into the Pottawatomie tribe, where this wife drew annuities from that tribe. Then he married a white woman and lived at French Village, and died there and is buried at McKissick's Grove. —— Iowa Daily Register Thursday May 29, 1866 Anthony Bruno, a Frenchman living in Fremont County, recently committed suicide by strychnine as we learn from the Sidney Union. He was in a despondent state and probably deranged.   [2]
