  • Gregoryville is a small hamlet located on Torch Lake in Schoolcraft Township, near Lake Linden, in Houghton County, Michigan. The hamlet was more of a company town that arose out of the lumber interests. Mr. Gregoire only hired French-Canadians to work for him, hence his title, "Father of the French Canadians." There were a handful of families that made up the population along with the workers at the sawmill. Most of these families married into one another, creating a tight-knit, distinct, unique community just outside the village limits of Lake Linden. The surnames of the Gregoryville community can be identified as follows: Gregoire, LaCasse, Drake, Letendre, LaMothe, etc. The Gregoire family was very influential in the early years of Lake Linden. Coming from Quebec, Joseph Gregoire moved most of his family to Lake Linden where they enjoyed a period of affluence and success. Mr. Gregoire died in California and is buried in Mont Calvary cemetery in Lake Linden. His monument is the most impressive. Made of marble and weighing over 1000 pounds, the weather-worn French epitaph salutes him as "Father of the French Canadians," cementing his place in early Copper Country history. (en)
