1900 Census shows immigrated in 1883 - since there are children born in Maine before that,
that is when they moved to WI

John Creamer ran away from home at about age 7
served as a cabin boy aboard a Canadian (navy?) ship
about age 23, he and another sailor were rivals for Frances Isabella Stephenson
during a fight, the other sailor was knocked overboard and lost at sea
when the ship docked, John Creamer jumped the border to Calais ME
he married FIS there
they never returned to Canada while FIS was alive - John Creamer fearing that
he could be arrested on charges from the fight
after FIS died, he did go to Canada
while drunk, he was rolled and all his money and identification stolen, and
left laying in snow and cold until found
police held him in jail until the landlady at his rooming house remembered that
he had a daughter in Wisconsin
Susan Victoria Creamer Smith went to Canada to get her father
as a result of the exposure, one leg was amputated
Ruth Smith remembered her grandfather rolling down the sidewalks of Marinette
in a wheelchair, drunk
