Henry Labouseur (c.1881-??) and Jennie Jensen
In March 2005 Gary Labouseur contacted me by email with information on the descendants of
Henry Labouseur born circa 1881. Henry Labouseur married Jennie Jensen. Their son, Harry Hall
Labouseur, married Edna Martha Dedrick, a Stratton descendant.
In April 2005 Gary send me additional information on his family which included genealogies of the
Stratton and Jensen families. The information is color coded as follows:
Gary,
The Genealogy of John Stratton and Mary Adamson (Stratton Genealogy)
and Jensen Family History by Muriel Lamar Holliday.
Muriel Lamar Holliday was the daughter of Sophie Jensen and Charles Lamar and the niece of Jennie
Jensen Labouseur (Gary's grandmother).
Note: Henry Labouseur was listed in the 1910 census in New Jersey,
with his wife and child.
Also listed with them was, "Annie, mother, age 65, widowed, mother of 4 children,
2 still living, born in
Germany, immigrated in 1860". This means she was born circa 1845. The only other Labouseur in Northern
New Jersey of a comparable age to Henry born circa 1881 was John Henry born 1873 the son of
Heinrich Labouseur and Ann, nee Ohlandt. It is highly likely that John and Henry were
brothers;
both the sons of Heinrich Labouseur and Ann Ohlandt. However,
additional support is needed to state this without any doubts.
Birth: Henry Labouseur born circa 1881, father unknown, mother, Anne (as
listed with him in the 1910 Census)

More information from Gary Labouseur on the Stratton branch of his mother's
family
Theodore and Harry first went to Liberty, New York. Theodore's's son, George is still there at the
family home, as far as I know.
Harry is still there too, buried in a cemetery 50 years in October.
Jennie (George and Teddy's mother) was still in Liberty when she died.
Harry and Martha took their children Gwen and Gary to Endicott in 1950.
We first stayed at the farm (no longer working) of my Grandma Twining.
A few years later, we built our family home not far from the farm - a little further
down Taft Avenue, in Endicott. My sister left there in about
1956 to go to college. She never came back because she married her college sweetheart
Ronald E. Zgoda from Buffalo and started her family. Son Scott Michael and daughter
Lynne Anne. I was there until I finished Junior College and was back briefly after
graduation from Univ. of Miami in 1968. By 1970, I was gone for good. Mother stayed until
about 1988, when she married Jake Weaver of Niagara Falls, a few days before she turned 70.

died a couple of years ago in Arizona.

Information from Muriel Holliday on the the family of
Harry Hall Labouseur.
"As to the Labouseur family I know almost nothing.
All I know is that your Grandfather and Grandmother moved to Liberty
because your Grandfather had TB. At that time the air in Liberty and
surrounding area was said to be beneficial. The town was supposed to be filled with
all kinds of
rest homes.
I know your Grandfather was a jeweler and I believe he worked for one in
Liberty, but I don't know the name.
Your Grandfather had started to give me spoons on my birthday with my initials on them.
I only have three so I was only a tot when he died.
I thing your Grandmother stayed in Liberty for two reasons. One was economics and
the other was, it was in the country and a nicer place to raise two sons. It had been
a hard life for them.
Your Grandmother always had some kind of job. She worked at the jewelers
(where your Grandfather had worked), a grocery store, and I know she worked for a long
time in Knapfers Florist. She
did all kinds of jobs, transplanting making all sort of wedding and funeral arrangements."
For more information on the TB sanitariums around Liberty, NY see Loomis: The Man, The Sanitarium, and The Search for the Cure by John Conway, New York
City, Purple Mountain Press (2005).
John Conway tells the story of physician Alfred Lebbeus Loomis who touted the benefits of the cold,
dry mountain air of the
Catskills and established the Loomis Sanitarium in Liberty in 1896. Conway also discusses other tuberculosis facilities in and around Liberty.
