HENRY VINCENT ALLIE
Henry Vincent Allie, who is successfully engaged in the fishing business at
Two Rivers, was born on the banks of the Two Rivers, September 22, 1862,
and is a son of John Vincent and Clarissa (Bennett) Allie, who were born at
Ci La Baie de Febiere, Distinguedes Trais Riviere, Canada, February 14,
1833, and February 28, 1834, respectively. The great grandfather of Mr. Allie was
Peter Allie, who at the age of six years was saved from a wrecked vessel,
which was making a journey from France to Canada, and he became the father
of nineteen children. John V. and Clarissa Allie had the following children:
Eugene, born in 1856; Nelson, born in 1858; Hortancy, born in 1859, deceased;
Joseph, born in 1861, who was drowned in 1910; Henry Vincent; Albert, born in 1866;
Lydia, born January 14, 1867; Frankie, born December 25, 1869; and Mary, born
February 19, 1871. John V. Allie, the father of our subject, was the first
man to engage in the fishing business in these parts and the first nets
which he used he had knitted with his own hands. He was also active in
other directions and opened and established the first general store on the
east side of Two Rivers. His premature death, when he just was well on the
road to success, was deeply to be regretted and he was mourned by many
friends who appreciated him for his character and enterprise. His wife is
still living and is hale and hearty mentally and bodily. She makes her
home at present with her daughter Mrs. John L. Monka.

Henry V. Allie, of Two Rivers, received his education in the district
schools and the parochial school of his neighborhood, and he first began to
work in the factories at twenty-five cents per day, and was advanced to
fifty cents the second day of his employment. He left the mills to work on
the government pier, and then took up fishing, accumulating enough money to
buy a boat, "The Newcomer," and went into partnership with his brother,
with whom he continued in business for four or five years, He then engaged
in chartered work with a fleet of sailing vessels, but after some time gave
this up and enlisted in the life-saving service at Milwaukee, continuing
therein until he returned to the fishing business at Two Rivers, and now
has a gasoline fishing boat. He has since continued in this vocation and
has been very successful, being now the owner of several fine properties at
Two Rivers.
In 1885 Mr. Allie was married to Miss Olive Gauthier, who was born August
4, 1866, a daughter of Adolph and Alvina (Sanuille) Gauthier, natives of
Canada, who in the early ‘5os came to Two Rivers, where they were married
in 1859, Mrs. Gauthier being then eighteen years of age. Adolph Gauthier
was a stage driver for seventeen years, running between Two Rivers,
Mishicot and Green Bay, and died in May, 1897, aged sixty-two years, his
widow surviving him until 1901. Of their family of eight children, two sons
and four daughters are living at this time.
