Emery Bruley was a logger, blacksmith, merchant and inventor who resided in Neillsville, WI. This picture came from a family collection owned by the Benware and Barton family. The notation on the bottom places it in Neillsville, WI, having been the work of Kirkland Photos. The photographer could well have been Charles B. Kirkland who died in 1882 and is buried in the Neillsville City Cemetery which would place the time frame of the picture previous to that. If you have any information which could lead to a greater understanding of who this individual may be, please contact Barbara Benware Burt .

Emery Brule’s Grandparents, Parents, their families and his family
Emery’s grandparents Alexis Brule’ and Genevieve Thomas married in Rigaud, Quebec Province, Canada on 10 February 1812. Rigaud is almost on the border of Quebec Province and Ontario Province. Alexis had apparently moved south from where he grew up, probably in search of a better job. He and Genevieve raised a family of seven known children. Available Church records confirm the baptism of most of their children took place in Rigaud. Like father, like sons – records confirm that two sons – Thomas and Edouard – moved south to Ottawa and away from their parents. Each married a young woman with the surname of Brunet and who were cousins. When Edouard died an early death, his widow and children lived with Thomas and his family.
Alexis Brule’ and Genevieve Thomas had seven known children who were:
