| Note | Eustache Chapoton was born about 1792; died January 13, 1871; and was buried in section 60, lot 1025. Chapoton opened a tavern at the foot of Woodward Avenue but gave it up after a sermon at Ste. Anne de Detroit denounced the evil of selling liquor to Native Americans. Chapoton then became a builder. He knew nothing of math and could write very little, but his wife helped him learn to count with matches. He became a master builder, which amassed him a fortune. Chapoton married Julia Coquillard (who was born February 20, 1792, and died June 17, 1885), and their children were Alexander, Benjamin, William, Augustus, Therese, and Julia. Eustache and his brother-in-law Thomas Coquillard built SS. Peter and Paul church on Jefferson Avenue at St. Antoine Street. He was on the Detroit Common Council in 1844 and was a trustee of Ste. Anne de Detroit, 1835-1870. "Detroit's Mount Elliot Cemetery," Cecile Wendt Jensen, 2006, Arcadia Publishing. |
