n 1820 Solomon Juneau married Josette, the Metis daughter of Jacques Vieau, a fur trader who had built a trading post overlooking the Menomonee Valley years before. Josette was the oldest of 12 children, and she was Menominee and French by ancestry.[5] Through her alliances to the tribe, and the relationships fostered through Juneau's business in fur trading, it is reported that he was popular with the Menominee.[6] After the treaty of 1848 between the United States and the Menominee, Juneau registered his wife and children as half-breeds of the Menominee Nation. In his later life, Juneau and family relocated to Dodge County, Wisconsin, where they founded the village of Therese, named after Juneau's French-Canadian mother. Josette Juneau died there in 1855, Solomon died one year later in Keshena, Wisconsin, on a visit to the Menominee tribe. Six Menominee chiefs served as pallbearers at his funeral. He is buried at Calvary Cemetery, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Juneau's grandson, Paul O. Husting, would become a member of the United States Senate.[7] The property that is believed to have once been the site of Juneau's residence is now the site of the Mitchell Building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Milwaukee Mayor. A fur-trader by trade, Juneau moved to Wisconsin from L'Asumption, Quebec, Canada, in 1818. Juneau served as the Mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1846. There is a cenotaph in his memory at Juneau Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: May 12 2022, 3:45:09 UTC
