Joseph Carriveau was born October 4, 1881 in Oconto, Wisconsin. The 2nd son of Pierre and Flora Corriveau. Joseph grew up and was schooled in Oconto. The family lived in the part of Oconto that is known as 'FrenchTown' - very close to the parish church of St-Peters.
Joseph and his older brother, Philip worked at the Oconto Lumber Mills until about 1899 when his parents and family moved up to Niagara, Wisconsin to work for the Kimberly Clark Paper Mill Company.
Joseph growing up, used to make visits to his Aunt Della in Daggett, Michigan. Odille (Della) was the younger sister of Pierre Corriveau who had married Alfred Duvall in 1880 in Oconto, Wisconsin. The couple had a farm on the Michigan Upper Peninsula, Menominee County in the Village of Daggett. This farm was close to the Frederick Rabouin Farm - where Mary, Delia, Exzilda and other Rabouin children lived.
Joseph's older brother, Philip, married Mary Raboin in November of 1900 in Norway, Michigan. In May of 1905 the marriage record of Joseph and Delia Raboin took place. Joseph and his new bride, Delia, lived with Joseph's parents in Niagara, Wisconsin -- and can been seen on the 1905 Wisconsin Census of that area.
Their first child, Margaret, my grandmother, was born in Niagara, Wisconsin on May 7, 1906. To this union there would be 3 other children born, Beatrice (1907), Raymond (1911) and George Emmett (1917). Their daughter Beatrice died in January of 1909, as the family was making plans to move to the Pacific Northwest.
Upon their arrival in the Seattle Area in 1909, Joseph was employed with the Seattle Cedar Manufacturing Company in Ballard (north of Seattle.) After a few years, the family moved to a home on Northwest 57th Street near 14th Avenue Northwest. This would be the house the family would live in for approximately 14 years, before they moved to a home at 836 Northwest 60th. The couple then moved to a house on the corner of NW60th and 6th Avenue Northwest. For a number of these years between 1917 and 1930, Grandma Delia worked as a janitress at the L.C. Smith Tower (once the largest building west of the Mississippi).
After working over 30 years for the Seattle Cedar Manufacturing Company, Joseph retired. He and grandma sold their house and became land-lords at an apartment on the corner of 22nd Avenue NW and NW 62nd Street. From 1909 until the time of his death in 1956, he was parishioner at St-Alphonsis Church in Ballard. Delia died in the early fall of 1961. They are both buried at HolyRood Cemetery in Shoreline, WA.
