A few days ago O. Duclos received the sad news of the death of his brother, Exis Duclos, in British Columbia.  The two brothers came to Little Falls in 1866.  Soon after, they made the first brick for St. John’s University in Stearns county.  About 1875 Exis and his family moved to the Pacific coast.  He will be remembered by the old settlers as a man of excellent character.  (unknown source)
