1880 Jun 18: The 1880 US census shows Ulysse and Eugenie living in Branch Township of Marion Co., KS with children Paul, Robert, Emma, Elise, and Alford. (10)

The manifest of the Labrador lists Ulysse as a clerk, and the 1880 census lists him as a farmer. However, that is the only evidence I have that he was a farmer. His grandson Leon Proctor relates a story which, if true, tells about his having a little trouble with plowing. (12)

His granddaughter Jane Good tells a bit more. "Grandfather operated a horse-drawn kerosene wagon and made house to house deliveries over town. He was a restless unsettled sort of person and it was because of this that he made several trips back to the old country, leaving his family in Kansas. On his return from one of these trips he brought with him a young Swiss boy by the name of Ed Wyssenback. Ed was raised with the Huguenin children from then on although he retained his own name." (11)

1898 Dec 11: Louise Eugénie Perret Huguenin dies in Newton, Kansas while Ulysse is in Switzerland (5); buried Prairie Lawn Cemetery, Peabody, KS.

1926-1933: Ulysse writes letters from Switzerland to his son Ed.

1926 Jan 6: From Ulysse in "Missy, Vaud, Switzerland." From the letter: "I visited your cousin, Arthur Huguenin at La Chaux-de-Fonds with christian wife, as well as daughter 20 and son 15." It also says "My sister Laura write me that our brother has been in the hospital....."

1935: Henri Ulysse Huguenin dies in Switzerland. (1)
