  • Notes 
    • Orpha had another man in her life who she wanted to marry, but her parents made her marry John LePage. The other man became quite prosperous.
      He was a lumber jack and after they moved to the upper areas of Wisconsin and Michigan and southern Canada, where he worked in the sawmills and as a lumber jack.
      Orpha self-taught herself arithmetic and was able to start a small store where she sold fresh-baked goods and other items to the men in the camps.
      Family lore is John hated the fact she was doing so well, and was abusive until she threatened him with a knife.
      Orpha had a horse named Nelliw who always knew when Orpha was pregnant.
      Orpha and a neighbor woman would race their horses and wagons down the road but when she was pregnant, Nellie wouldn't run.
      Every other year, the women delivered each other's babies.
