**The following quote is from the history of the Simon Thibaudeau family/ Wisconsin Franco Familes Thibaudeau
"The church that served many familys in the Scarboro Valley was some distance from the village. Not-to-- clear deeds in the Bishop's office show that this mission church erected on Thibaudeau property was named: Sacred Heart, by Father Daems who blessed it in 1875. The general populace referred to it as the "French Church" since the greater number of the parishioners were Canadian French with a few German, Bohemain and Irish familes. The PEOT family lived across the road from the church and the Peot sons served as altar boys for many years. Mrs. Peot led the congregation in the saying the rosary every Saturday in May as part of May devotions. As a result the church was also called the "PEOT CHURCH."
