ALFRED L. LAFOND JR. (d. 1944)
Alfred N. (sic) LaFond, 76, who helped organize one of the first fishing
firms in Two Rivers, died early today at the Two Rivers municipal hospital.
He had been ill over two years.
He was moved to the hospital last Friday following a stroke from the home of
his daughter, Mrs. John Hermans, 1602 East street, Two Rivers, where he made
his home.
Funeral services will be held from the Jansky funeral home Saturday at 8:30
a.m. and at nine o'clock from the St. Lukes Catholic church, Two Rivers. Burial
will be in Calvary cemetery there.
Mr. LaFond was born in Two Rivers in 1867. His father formed a fishing firm in
that city which the son was early associated with. He continued in this business
until he joined the life saving station crew in the late 1880's and later left
to become assistant lightkeeper at the Twin River point light.
Mr. LaFond served in that capacity for several years and then returned to join
his father in the fishing industry. He was married to Lydia Allie, a member of
another pioneer fishing family, in 1888. She died July 10, 1920.
When Alfred LaFond retired from the fishing industry in 1938 he accepted employ-
ment in the shipping department of the Hamilton Manufacturing company, retiring
nearly three years ago because of ill health.
Survivors are four daughters, Mrs. John Hermans, Mrs. Joseph Morency and Mrs.
Clarence Cope, all of Two Rivers; Mrs. William Brabant of Sheboygan, a son Adolph
LaFond of Oshkosh; one sister, Mrs. Joseph Napieczinski of Manitowoc and two
brothers, Edward and David LaFond of Two Rivers.
Thirteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren also survive.
The body may be viewed at the Jansky funeral home from Thursday at 2 p.m. until
the hour of the services. The rosary will be recited Friday evening.
