Agnes Marie Yelle. She was born on 15 Dec 1913 in Chateaugay, New York.
Notes for Agnes Marie Yelle:
General Notes:
Agnes Yelle's family was from eastern Canada, probably Quebec. Her real family name is Criere
which meant to cry like a town crier of old. When they came to upstate New York, their name was
changed to
Yelle because that is what a town crier did.
Agnes' mother had convulstions shortly after she was born and died. Her Dad's brother's wife
raised her. In the chaos following the difficult birth, Agnes was wrapped in a blanket and placed on
a rocking chair which was inadvertently put in a closet. When her birth mother asked if she had
survived birth where her baby was, they had to look around and found her in the closet. Agnes
was doing just fine though she only weighed 2 1/2 pounds. Her aunt was the only mother Agnes
knew though she was never formally adopted.
Her mother moved from Sarinak Lake, N.Y. to Bridgeport when Agnes was in the first year of high
school, about 1927. Her mother worked in a store where she did sewing and alterations on fur
clothing. One day a woman named Motto brought some work in and introduced Agnes to her
daughter, Lucy Motto.
Lucy was somewhat mentally challenged and her mother would give Agnes money to take Lucy to
the movies because Lucy had trouble counting money. After being friends for awhile, Lucy brought
Agnes to the Parente house to see her friends Palma and Betty. Agnes became fast friends with
the Parente girls and kind of drifted away from Lucy.
Agnes noticed that Palma and Betty had a brother Michael her age, but at the time, he seemed
much younger. After graduation from high school, Agnes started noticing Michael more and they
started dating.
Mike mentioned that Agnes didn't pay much attention to him when she was visiting Palma and
Betty.
