See comments below for additional information. Also, I found an obituary (below in text as I do not have a copy of the actual obituary) for Priscilla St. Onge. She was Onesime Turgeon's daughter, but am not quite clear how she ties in with our Turgeons. There were at least a couple of Onesime's in the family. Some in the family might find this stuff about the French side of the family interesting.
There is an old picture of Onesime Turgeon's 8”well pipe … date
unknown. Onesime is in the center of photo. He is a brother of
Abra-ham, husband of Mar-garet Langdeau, and brother of Benjamin
Turgeon, husband of Armine Langdeau. Both Langdeau sisters are
the daughters of Maurice and Margaret (Hart) Langdeau

Priscilla R. St. Onge
March 14, 1929 - July 17, 2009 in Chamberlain-Oacoma Sun Graveside services for Priscilla R. St. Qnge were held Thursday, July 23, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. at Miami Memorial Park. Visitation was held Wednesday evening, July 22, 2009, at Stanf'ill Funeral Home, Miami.
Priscilla Rachel St. Onge passed away in
Georgia at
the age of 80 years, 4 months, 3 days, with her family at her
bedside, on July 17, 2009, as a result of head injuries received
from a fall. Priscilla St. Onge was born March 14, 1929, in
Platte SD, to Onesime and Mary (Korbel) Turgeon. She grew up on
a farm near Bijou Hills and attended Graves Country School, then
attended and graduated from Chamberlain High School. She worked
at the Derby Cafe in Chamberlain and met her husband-to-be, Neal
St. Onge, an Armour meat salesman. Priscilla was united in
marriage to Neal St. Onge on October 8, 1950, at the
United Church of
Christ in Chamberlain, SD. To this union, two daughters
were born. The couple lived in Mitchell, SD; Sioux City, IA;
West Point, NE; and Park Forest, IL before moving to Miami and
eventually retiring there.
Priscilla had a magic touch with gardening and delighted in
bowling with her family and friends. Priscilla enjoyed knitting
and crocheting; she also enjoyed sewing, especially for her only
granddaughter. Everyone who knew her loved her.
Priscilla is survived by her daughters: Gail Ann and husband
Gary Machleith of Miami, FL, Verna Marie and husband
Rob Stewart and one granddaughter Taylor Marie Stewart of
Gainsville, GA. She is also survived by one brother, Onesime A.
(Rosie) Turgeon of Chamberlain, three sisters: Mary Ann Acton of
Cape Coral, Florida; Lorene (Fred) Leeney of Schnecksville,
Pennsylvania; and Avis Leiferman of Chamberlain, SD; a
brother-in-law, Fuzzy Krebs of Los Angeles, CA and by many
nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. Priscilla was
preceded in death by her husband Neal on June 25, 2008; an
infant grandson; her parents, Onesime and Mary Turgeon; and by
five sisters: Georgiana (Melvin) Vander Voort, Leola Stangel,
Anita Turgeon, Blanche (Ivan) Houska, and Carolina Krebs; and
four brothers-in-law: Joe Acton, Bob Leiferman, Ivan Houska, and
Melvin Vander Voort. Chamberlain / Oacoma Sun
