Announcement/Invitation
Grant Reunion ~ August 9 -13, 2013 ~ Soda Springs & Pocatello, Idaho
A Commemoration of the Life of Richard Stanislas Grant (1822-1852)
Richard Stanislas Grant was the oldest child of HBC Chief Trader of Fort Hall, Richard Grant, and his first wife, Marie Anne Breland. He was born at or near Rocky Mountain House, raised at Trois-Rivieres, and was married there to Emelie Langie. Richard, his wife, and his youngest brother, John Francis Grant, reunited with their father at Fort Hall, August 3rd, 1847. For the next several years, Richard and his wife’s freighting business were well supported by the traffic of the Oregon Trail. Before Richard’s untimely death at the youthful age of just thirty years, he and Emelie had two sons, Joseph Richard and Louis Joseph Grant.
On Saturday, August 10, 2013, 161 years following Richard’s death, his descendants will celebrate his life by unveiling a commemorative marker alongside the original lava rock placed on grave at the time of his burial.
Please mark your calendars and join us in Idaho for this historic celebration.
