Desiree Wery, another Belgian, came here (Neuchatel Township, Nemaha Country, Kansas ) from Wisconsin in 1866, with his wife and several children. With him came his wife's father, Desire Pinchard, who died here. There also came with him his wife's brother-in-law, a Canadian.
Mr. Wery bought the Chavanne place of Mr. Mouton. He lived here but a couple of years, when he returned to Wisconsin. Mrs. Wery's brother-in-law, while living here, worked a year for Alfred Bonjour.
