CRELE, Joseph, centenarian, born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1725; died in Caledonia, Wis., 27 January 1866. The record of his baptism in the French Catholic Church, Detroit, establishes the date of his birth. He was married in 1755 at New Orleans, and a few years afterward settled at Prairie du Chien. He bore arms at Braddock's defeat, and before the Revolution was employed in carrying letters between Prairie du Chien and Green Bay. He settled in Wisconsin during the Revolutionary war. The later years of his life were passed with a daughter by his third marriage, born when he was sixty-nine years old. He enjoyed robust health up to within two years of his death, and was able to walk several miles without fatigue and to chop wood for the family.
