Notes for FRANCOIS BIENVENU "DIT"
DELISLE:
Francois Bienvenu was called "DeLisle" as a "nom
de guerre," or military nickname. Many of the French soldiers
had these nicknames to remind people where they were from in France
or to describe personality or physical features. DeLisle translates
to "from the island," and Francois was "from the
island" of Oleron and born in the village of St. Pierre,
which still exists, west of the city of La Rochelle off the west
coast of France. Francois came to Canada as a soldier and accompanied
Father Angeliran on missionary visits to different Indian groups.
Father Angeliran was Superior of the missions to the Ottawas at
Missilimackinac de Ste. Marie du Sault (Sault St. Marie), to the
Miamis, to the Illinois, to the Puans of the Bay and to the Sioux.
Francois was a lieutenant when he accompanied Father Angeliran
on his missionary work. These facts are found in the papers of
Cadillac. In fact, on June 7th 1687, Cadillac's own papers indicate
that Cadillac retook possession of the lands in the neighborhood
of the straight ("detroit") between Lakes Erie and Huron,
and that these lands were recovered by Sieur de la Duranthais.
The signing of these documents were witnessed by Francois on June
7th, 1687 (14 years before the settlement of Detroit was established
by Cadillac himself).
Francois most likely accompanied Cadillac on his founding voyage
to Detroit in 1701. Francois' son Raphael was born in Detroit
in 1703 and buried there on April 24, 1706. Even Father Denissen
places the DeLisle family in Detroit before 1704. Records of Detroit
from 1701 to 1703 were lost when the first Francois became orphan
at the age of eleven and it is thought that some relative of his
mother must have taken care of him and his brother and sister.
It is not known why and when he left for New France in Canada.
St. Anne's Church went up in flames within the fort. When the
new register was made the first entry was the birth of Cadillac's
daughter Mary Teresa who was born on February 2, 1704. The second
entry was the death of Raphael DeLisle, Francois' son who was
buried on April 24, 1706.
Francois was finally given land outside the fort, with the permission
of King Louis XIV of France. Francois' property was south of the
fort next to the village of the Potawatomi Indian village. Francois
was known to trade brandy with the Indians and was written up
in Cadillac's papers, because some settlers complained of problems
with the Indians after DeLisle sold them brandy. In the records
of Tanguay, DeLisle was said to have been a tavern keeper. If
DeLisle was a tavern keeper, he probably opened the tavern on
his property or within the fort. Francois' land was located where
the base of the bridge to Canada now exists. In fact it is likely
that Francois' land is now where the American side of the Ambassador
Bridge now rests. This land was later traded by Alexis for a large
tract of land on the River Rouge, which is now the township of
River Rouge, where DeLisle Street still exists. Later the family
moved to a site off Dearborn Road in Delray.
Before 1701, Francois raised a rebellion ar Missilimackinac with
Messieur de Courtemanche and Messieur de Mauthet and they were
all put under arrest at Montreal and afterwards sent to Quebec
were they remained for a month. This occurred well before Francois
came to Detroit. Francois probably served under Cadillac at Fort
Mackinac before accompanying Cadillac on his founding voyage to
Detroit. This rebellion was probably started when the Jesuits
interfered with Francois' ability to trade brandy with the Indians.
It was well known that the Jesuit priests were not fond of the
brandy trade, but Cadillac knew that the Indians would leave and
trade their furs with the British for rum if they couldn't get
French brandy. Cadillac and others knew that without the brandy
trade their would be no fur trade with the natives.
Cadillac's papers also indicate that Francois owned a fine razor.
Francois probably had no beard or mustache.

Notes for SR. PETER (WELCOME) BIENVENU
DELISLE:
Peter was also known as "Welcome DeLisle," and was
called "Welcome" by many in Delray and Detroit. Welcome's
obituary in the Detroit Journal indicated that he had the timber
contract for Fort Wayne when it was built on the Detroit River.
This was probably because his mother was Monica Livernois the
daughter of Joseph Livernois, who owned the land where the fort
was built. The street which starts at the entrance to Fort Wayne
is Livernois Avenue, which starts at the fort and travels north
through Rochester Hills. Livernois Avenue is one of the longest,
if not the longest street, named after a French family in the
city and suburbs of Detroit.
Welcome's obituary reads: Welcome DeLisle, one of the oldest
and best known residents of the downriver suburban district, died
of old age at the residence of his son, Rep. Peter DeLisle, Delray,
at 3 a.m. He had been failing for some time. Welcome DeLisle was
a descendant of an old French family which came to Detroit early
in the history of the settlement and owned a tract of land in
the western part of the city. From there the DeLisles moved to
River Rouge early in the last century (1800's) and took up a tract
of land adjoining Dearborn Road on which the old DeLisle residence
is still standing.
When Fort Wayne was built the timber contract went to Welcome
DeLisle. He was prominent in township affairs for many years and
held the offices of treasurer, highway commissioner and school
inspector.
He is survived by four children: Representative Peter B. DeLisle,
Charles DeLisle and Mrs. John Abbott of Delray and Richard DeLisle
of Toledo. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed.
In another notice it indicated that: Welcome DeLisle's forefathers
came over from France with the earliest French settlers, from
Louis Quatorze, who was at that time the reigning monarch of France.
Welcome secured a grant to what is known as the LaFontaine farm
in the vicinity of Eighteenth Street in Detroit. The DeLisle family
finally traded the land for a large tract on the banks of the
River Rouge, which was at that time almost a wilderness, but which
is now the site of the village of River Rouge. These hardy settlers,
located on the river bank and made houses of logs, in which they
lived until the River Rouge in the Spring of the year began to
overflow its banks. Then the handful of settlers pitched in and
moved their dwellings back to what is now Dearborn Road.
Welcome was 88-years-old when he passed away. Photos of him exist
in the Detroit Journal newspaper. Welcome wore a white "billy-goat"
style beard and was partly bald like his son Peter Jr. (Representative
DeLisle).

Marriage Notes for BERTHA DELISLE and MICHAEL LYONS:
From the Detroit Journal under a headline: "First
High Mass in Delray at the DeLisle-Lyons Wedding" (Sketch
of Bride and Groom above article)
The marriage of Miss Bertha I. DeLisle and Michael P. Lyons
of Walkerville, took place in All Saints' church, Delray,
at 10 o'clock this morning (Thanksgiving Day), Rev. Fr. Doman
officiated.
The Bride was led up the main aisle by her father, Supervisor
Peter B. DeLisle. Miss Alice Riopelle (Berty's cousin) was
maid of honor, while Misses Evelyn Belisle and Ida DeLisle,
a sister of the bride (not a sister story was incorrect),
were bridesmaids. The bridegroom was attended by his brother
Timothy Lyons of Chicago, as best man. George DeLisle (of
Delray) and Edward DeLacey of Springfield, Ohio were the ushers.
Miss DeLisle, who has long held the title of belle of Delray,
fully justified that reputation this morning. She was gowned
in a travelling suit of castor broadcloth, with brown poplin
trimmings and a brown velvet bolero. She wore a big picture
hat of blue velvet and carried a bunch of white roses.
Michael P. Lyons, the bridegroom, is well known in Walkerville,
where the couple will make their home (made their home in
Delray actually) after a short wedding trip. He is a native
of Springfield, Ohio, who has arisen by dint of hard work
to occupy the position of superintendent of the Walkerville
Malleable Iron Works.
The first high mass ever celebrated at a wedding in Delray
was chanted by Fr. Doman at the conclusion of marriage service.
After that the newly married pair were driven to the home
of the bride at 22 Crossley Avenue, Delray, where a combination
wedding and Thanksgiving dinner was served. At 3 o'clock they
left for a short wedding trip to the old home of the groom
in Ohio.
|
Another announcement was entitled: "Miss Bertha
DeLisle, The Belle of Delray, Married to Michael Lyons of
Walkerville" (Photo of Bride and Groom above article)
Miss Bertha DeLisle one of the prettiest girls in Wayne county,
and the acknowledged belle of Delray, was married at 9:30
this morning to Michael P. Lyons, of the Walkerville Malleable

Notes for FATHER MICHAEL DELISLE LYONS:
Michael Delisle Lyons and his brother Frank were very active
in amateur radio in their teenage years. When the first commercial
radio in the world, WWJ (formerly 8MK), was built in the old Detroit
News Building in Detroit, Michael assembled the equipment. Mr.
Scripps, the owner of the Detroit News initially hired an outside
contractor to build the radio antenna, but later hired Mike to
fix the antenna since it never operated properly. The first broadcast
was on August 20, 1920 several weeks before KDKA of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania began broadcasting (November 2, 1920 to be precise).
Many have argued that KDKA was the first commercial radio station
in the world, however, DeForrest (an early radio pioneer) insisted
WWJ was first because they had been broadcasting nightly since
August 20, 1920. KDKA only broadcast twice a week since November
2, 1920, but they claim to be first since they received the first
broadcasting license issued by the US government. Many people
interested in early radio still argue over which station was first.
Many who argue for KDKA, say that WWJ was only an amateur station.
This however was not true. 8MK (the predecessor of WWJ) was built
in the old Detroit News building and Mike and others were paid
for their contributions, which led to the first broadcast in August
20, 1920. 8MK was issued a commercial license by the US government
on October 31, 1921and the broadcast call letters were changed
to WWJ (Named after W. J. Scripps). KDKA received their license
on October 27, 1920.
Mike was a close friend of Ed Clark who operated amateur station
8AO, before he built WJR in Detroit.
Mike later entered the St. Stanislaus Seminary in Florissant,
Missouri to become a Jesuit priest. Mike soon began studying at
St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri where he learned geology
under Father James Bernard Macelwane, who established the Jesuit
Seismological Association and the Seismological Society of America.
After his studies in St. Louis the church sent Mike to St. Mary's
College in Kurseong, India(in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains)
where he finished his college studies. Mike was ordained a priest
at St. Mary's on November 21, 1933. Mike then stayed in India
as a Jesuit missionary until he resigned from the Jesuits in 1941.
Mike was asked to resign when the Bishop discovered that a nun,
Agnes or Sister Cecilia, who was sent to care for Mike became
pregnant. Mike asked for dispensation to marry and live with Agnes
and have a family but it was rejected. The Bishop had sent the
nun with another "hospital sister" to assist Mike with
his bouts of malaria, so that he could continue his missionary
work.
After Mike resigned from the Jesuits, he remained in India with
sister Agnes as husband and wife and had two daughters, Esther
and Violet. Mike started selling articles he wrote about India
to Colliers and other magazines, as well as working for the Federal
Economic Administration of the US government. In late 1944, he
was made to return to active priesthood and take up the position
of the chaplain of the US army based in the city of Allahabad
and was given the dispensation to work for the Federal Economic
Administration of the US government by his Jesuit Bishop Bernard
Sullivan of Patna Jesuit Mission. He continued supporting his
family of Agnes and the two daughters living in Saharanpore. It
was through the government that Mike became involved in supplying
Beryllium for the first atomic/nuclear weapons. It is rumored
that Mike was at Los Alamos, New Mexico for the testing of the
first atomic bomb.
Mike was made to leave Agnes and his daughters and returned to
the US 1947 just before the independence of India. While in USA
he worked as a Jesuit Missionary and got the dispensation from
his Jesuit Bishop to work for the Federal Economic Administration
of the US government. He tried to return to India but was not
permitted to do so by the British Government. Mike became an important
source of Beryllium for nuclear weapons to the US Government from
1944 until his death in 1974. In early 1950s he got involved with
a nurse from Detroit and moved to Colorado. He was able to receive
the dispensation to live with the woman he met in Detroit, Petronilla
Marchulones. She became his lover but they never married. Mike
and Petronilla settled in Arvada, Colorado (between Boulder and
Denver, near Rocky Flats Nuclear facility) in around 1950 till
his death in 1974. He had a Beryllium Mine in his backyard and
African Americans working for him as labourers. He had a CIA agent
and had a FBI record on him.
Mike was allowed by the local Bishop to continue his missionary
work with Indian tribes in neighbouring states (i.e. North &
South Dakota), while he continued to supply Beryllium Only a couple
of priests in the Jesuit community of St. Regis University knew
Mike was a priest. Very few people at Rocky Flats knew Mike was
a priest. Mike also began making ham radios for people who lived
in the mountains west of Boulder, so that they could call the
Sheriff's department if they needed help. Due to the mountains,
phone lines could not be installed west of Boulder at the time.
Mike later became the President of the Chamber of Commerce of
Arvada.
Late in Mike's life he began having difficulty breathing and
was put on oxygen. It was later discovered the Beryllium dust
when inhaled destroys the lungs. Mike finally died in 1974 from
"Chronic Beryllium Lung Disease." Two years before he
died he returned to being an active Jesuit priest and said mass
in his own house at 10,000 Alkire Street, Arvada-80002. Petronilla
became his housekeeper and brought her mother to live with them.
He was buried with the other Jesuits in Mt. Olivet Cemetery at
the base of his Bishop Sullivan, his mentor from India and they
had both served together there for almost 20 years. He had throughout
supported his work and gave him dispensations except to marry
and live with his family in India. Before dying Mike made a will
for his “wife” Petronilla, leaving her with over a
million dollars in cash and two properties, the property in Denver
was 40 acres of land and another in Washington. Before dying,
Petronilla, gave out the cash to the many churches in USA and
India asking them to pray for her soul and that of a friend, Mike.
She gave the sister s of charity the property in Denver and the
Franciscan priest the property in Washington.
In 1965, Mike’s daughter, Esther, finally found him living
in Denver, Colorado in defacto relationship with Petronilla. She
lived with them for a fortnight and then returned to her mother
and sister in India against the requests of her father Mike. He
had deserted Agnes and daughters, Esther and Violet since he returned
to the USA and they grew up in great shame, and poverty. Agnes
took up nursing and supported her children herself. The missions
and the Jesuits offered them the orphanages only. They never gave
them any contacts to Mike, nor did they give Mike contacts to
them, but Esther found him. She collected FBI files and other
documents about Father Mike since 1987. Jeff McQueen, the grandson
of one of Mike’s sisters finally located Esther and Violet
Lyons in Australia in 1995 and invited them to meet the other
members of her father’s family in USA and they accepted
them. Esther has written her own book about her life in India,
entitled: "Unwanted!," which is available throughout
Australia and the USA. Esther now lives with her two sons Fabian
and Mario in Sydney, Australia. Violet lives in Dehra Dun, India
where she is the principal of her own school, with her husband.
Violet's two children Michele and Jude live in Sydney, Australia
also.

William McQueen: Loved his Michigan roots, humor.
"William McQueen was a ninth-generation Detroiter.
His ancestor, Bienvenue DeLisle (correction . . . Francois

Blessed with a great sense of humor, Mr. McQueen loved to
pull pranks such as calling over the waitress when dining
out with family members and telling her he wanted her to remember
all their names. "Then he would say, this is Mr. McQueen,
Miss McQueen, Mr. McQueen, down the line and then ask, 'Can
you remember that?'" recalled his brother, Clyde.
Mr. McQueen was a 1949 graduate of Catholic Central High
School, then in Detroit. He attended the University of Michigan,
and later served in the U.S. Navy.
He retired several years ago as president of Inland Tool

Notes for MARY FRANCES CONWAY:
Mary Frances came from a very well-to-do family of Grosse
Pointe, Michigan. The Conway family was well know for manufacturing
cast-iron "pot belly" stoves. One extremely large
stove built by the family business stood outside the Michigan
State Fair Grounds for many years until it was finally disassembled.
This stove was later rebuilt on its original site in 1998.
Mary Frances loved animals and always had cats and dogs
in her home. She loved to play cards, and gamble occasionally.
She once made Father Perryman (a relative on the Lyons side
of the family) swears when she won all of his two-dollar-bills
in a poker game, which took place at Lake Margarethe in
Grayling, Michigan where the McQueens and McCloys often
spent their Summer vacations. Mary Frances' childhood friend
was Barbara Couzens (a grand-daughter of James Couzens,
who convinced Henry Ford to offer people $5/day to come
to work on his automobile assembly lines). The Couzens owned
Wabeek. Barbara Couzens also married Leo Brennen, who came
from a wealthy logging family from the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan. Leo serves as the Chairman of the Ford Foundation.

McQueen is leaving the FIB to pursue opportunities in the

1993, Pat has taken a proactive role in modernizing the Bureau.
I wish him well as he re-enters the private sector."
"As Commissioner of the Michigan Financial Institutions
Bureau, I sought not only to manage the Bureau effectively

sound and that they are positioned to be competitive in the
rapidly evolving financial world."

Notes for MARY MARGARET MCQUEEN:
Mary died of skin cancer at the age of 39. She was always
a very kind person, and had a great sense of humor.
Mary's Obituary from the Detroit News, Sunday, May
31, 1992 edition read as follows:
"Mary M. Rodzik, 39, a descendant of an explorer who
helped found Detroit in 1701, died of cancer Friday, May 29,
1992, in her Troy home.
She was a pioneer in her own right, said her brother Clyde
D. McQueen.
Mrs. Rodzik helped form a young adult cancer support group
and was among the first wave of teachers of the mentally and
physically handicapped during the 1970s, when Michigan began
requiring that they be educated.
'My sister always found the time to participate with her
husband and children in family, church and community activities,'
McQueen said.
Born Mary McQueen in Detroit, Mrs. Rodzik was a descendant
of Bienvenue dit DeLisle, who accompanied Antoine de LaMothe
Cadillac when the city was founded in 1701.
She was a graduate of Detroit Mercy High School and Eastern
Michigan University in Ypsilanti.
Mrs. Rodzik served as a teacher's aid in Southfield and
also taught severely mentally and physically handicapped children
in Lapeer.
She was an adult eduction teacher in Mt. Clemens and Hazel
Park who taught English to foreign born adults.
'In the 1970s, when the state began requiring that institutionalized
and severely handicapped children receive an eduction, my
sister was among the first wave of teachers who pioneered
that field,' her brother said.
Additionally surviving are her husband of 18 years, Dennis
M., two daughters, Amy and Karen; a son, Michael; her mother,
Helen McQueen; a sister and three brothers. . . Burial will
