Michel Cadotte (July 22, 1764 – July 8, 1837) (also spelled Michael, Cadott, Cadeau, and other variations) or (Ojibwe: Kechemeshane (or Gichi-miishen in the contemporary spelling) "Great Michel")
He was a Métis fur trader of Ojibwe and French-Canadian descent who dominated business in the area of northern Wisconsin and the south shore of Lake Superior.
Cadotte was born in Saulte Ste. Marie, Michigan in 1764. Sometime after 1792, Cadotte established a trading post at La Pointe on Madeline Island. From this advantageous site he built a large and flourishing fur trade that served northern Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota.
His marriage to Ikwesewe (also Equay-say-way or Traveling Woman), the daughter of Waub-i-je-jauk head of the White Crane clan, an Ojibwe chief, and his understanding of the Indians won him the affection of local tribes. It also gained him a monopoly of their trade.
For a time, Cadotte was one of the most successful traders in the area, but the invasion of the American Fur Company plus a disastrous raid by a band of Ojibwe Indians in 1811 eventually broke him. Cadotte was forced to become an agent of John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company.
Cadotte retired in 1823 and left his business to his two American sons-in-law, the brothers Lyman and Truman Warren. He died on July 8, 1837, and was buried at La Pointe in the Indian Cemetery.

James Gordon, probate announcement, 1892
Note
James died in Cooladerry, Ireland in 1892 where he was employed as a "land steward". His Will was probated later that year at Waterford, Ireland.
In 1894 his wife Elizabeth, daughter Nora and son William emmigrated to America. His wife Elizabeth died in 1900 in Saint Paul, Minnesota and is buried in Oakland Cemetery. The monument marker on her grave would indicate that James, who died in 1892 is also buried there but the cemetery records indicate that only Elizabeth is buried in that plot. James was buried in Kilbehenny Ireland. There doesn't seem to be a grave marker for him and a portion of the cemetery was built over by a Community Center so the question remain, where exactly is he buried in the local cemetery.

"Monson Foundation Supports Dentistry and the Community
The Saint Paul District Dental Society has had the privilege of managing and distributing funds from the George S. Monson Foundation since 1983. Dr. Monson was a Saint Paul dentist and a member of the Saint Paul District Dental Society until 1933. In 1981, his adopted daughter, Ruth Monson, left nearly $170,000 to the SPDDS for the purpose of supporting education in the field of dentistry.
The George S. Monson Fund is a combination of the Monson donation and part of an earlier trust dating back to 1919. The union of these two funds has been administered by the SPDDS since 1983. Currently Dr. Tom Neafus is the chair of the Monson Foundation Committee, and he has supplied the information for this article.
For ease of administration, the Monson Fund is invested and administered by the Minneapolis Foundation. Proceeds of the Monson Fund are given to University of Minnesota dental students, dental assisting students, and dental education institutions. Proceeds are also used to help offset the cost of the SPDDS Midwinter Meeting. While there are a number of recipients, the largest portion of the endowment goes to dental students.
The Monson Foundation has also supported the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, including $10,000 to the President's Club and $2,000 for the 2000 x 2000 x 2000 program. The Foundation has also benefited children by helping to support Children's Health Day at the Science Museum. The balance of the fund has tripled since its inception, even while disseminating the proceeds for the last 22 years.
Future plans for the Foundation include increasing the scope and size of the scholarship contributions and planning to help the Dunwoody Institute launch a dental technician progam by donating an annual scholarship. With adequate funding, the Foundation will continue to reach into the future by meeting and exceeding its goals. Your generosity is critically important to its success. Please consider making a donation if possible." (Northwest Dentistry, Journal of the Minnesota Dental Association, September-October 2005.)
