You are here: Photo Albums ARCHAMBOULT Joseph John Joseph John ARCHAMBOULT always went by his middle name, John. He was born in Ontario, Canada, and as a child moved to Vernon Township, Isabella County near Clare, Michigan. There he met and married Emma BOUCHEY. After their wedding they lived on the "Elden Farm" which they rented. He was not a farmer, but rather, a worker in various saw mills in Harrison, Michigan. John would walk to Harrison on Sunday evenings, a distance of about 15 miles, work all week and then walk home Saturday after work, then back again on Sunday night. After a while he got tired of this and moved the entire family to Harrison. There he worked in a heading mill where they made heads for barrels. Later he worked in the stay mill that made the sides for barrels. He also worked in the wooden shingle mill. John finished out his working career by working for what would now be known as the water department. He learned where all of the water mains were located and kept them operating properly. ~Written by Wayne EASTMAN based on facts outlined in a 1969 taped interview of John's daughter Margaret (ARCHAMBOULT) ARCHANGELI.
