William and Mary had three children: William Joseph ((1868 - ), Frederick (1870-1918), and Mary Alice (1873- ). Mary's husband William died on 13 May 1873 at St Joseph Farm, Notre Dame, St Joseph, Indiana. The cause of death was heart disease. Mary married Louis Etier Hickey, whose wife Julia Lafontaine had died in 1874, on 10 January 1876 at St. Joseph parish in South Bend. Her marriage to Louis was, thus, to the former husband of her deceased sister-in-law, Julia Lafontaine. Louis and Mary had two child: Mary Julia (b.1876), who died in infancy; and Elmer Joseph (1888-1947).
