Extract from copies of the Beaumont Church Records: (sorry for the poor translation)
"In the year Seventeen Hundred and Nine, the first day of June, was interred in the parish cemetery, the body of Antoine Casse, having the age of about 70 years. Witness to is event, (unreadable) De Joachime Lallman, Joachin (unreadable)(The last line of the copy was unreadable)"
"Today, 28th day of February of the year Seventeen Hundred and Nine, was interred in the St-Etienne Cemetery, the body of the good woman "la Casse" aged of about 74 years, in the "communion de patrimoine Saint Eglise" after being confessed, receiving the "l'acrimoness d'eucharistie" and (Unreadable)(Unreadable) proceeded with the interment. Joachim L'allemant and his brother Michel Witnesses."
When I visited the church, I was devastated to learn that our ancestors' gravesites (as close as the parish priest, and a local historian could figure) were exhumed in about 1835 during a construction project and the area is now a dirt parking lot. The parish priest did not know what was done with the remains or the headstone but he assured me that the remains would have been treated with all the proper respect.
