use still stands. Don Chapdelaine (pictured second from right) platted 10-acres in

"You felt a very, very
strong sense of just being
independent and that you
could do whatever you set
out your mind to do. On a
farm there wasn't much help
available if you had a chal-
lenge. You had to figure
your way out of that situa-
tion on your own."
Chapdelaine, who was the
only one of his siblings to
be born in a hospital, fondly
recalls riding his horse to
the nearest farm four miles
away after a hard day of
work on the farm. Another
big thrill was thrashing.
"Because the big ma-
chines came, there were
lots of people around, the
horses and the teams, the
tractor running the thrashing
machine and great food," he
said. "The women had to

out, and if they did it was
just to get enough money to
put the money down on your
own business, your own
store or your own farm.
"They cjidn't think in
terms of employment as we
think today. They thought in
terms of how they could de-
velop their own business
and be independent. That
was a very strong character-
istic of people of that time
and, because of that, they
were able to overcome what
would be considered almost
insurmountable odds."

Small cities and townships are
expected to grow slightly, but
at less than one-half of the rate
for the county as a whole.
•
Given these statistics, it is no
wonder that growth is the top
concern for a majority of Da-
kota County residents. Accord-
ing to a 1999 Dakota County
residential study, 33 percent
said growth was the most seri-
ous issue facing the county —
an increase of 10 percent from
a 1997 survey. Moreover, when
asked what the most serious
issue would likely be 20 years
from now, growth became an
even stronger concern.
In the 1997 survey, most
residents (53 percent) found
that the rate of population
growth in their area is "about
right," but about 42 percent
concluded that it is "too fast."
A county focus group saw
"overdevelopment" as a threat
and expressed concerns with
the loss of "space."
A majority of residents (94
percent) rated their quality of
life as either excellent or good
in the latest survey. Most resi-
dents (35 percent) said they
like Dakota County's conven-
ient location the best. Respon-
dents also said they enjoy the

After graduating from
Humboldt, Don went into
his own business with gravel

went into heavy equipment

In 1953, Don platted 10
acres of the farm into 20
lots, called the Burrview
Addition. He married his
wife, Gerry, in 1955 and
built their home on one of
the lots. There they raised
eight children.
Only 4 1/2 acres remains
of the original farm where
Don's brother Joseph lives
in a home built during the
1950s. Another family lives
in the Chapdelaine farm-

Growth/Continued
the next two decades, Dakota
County's population will grow
increasingly older as the baby
boom generation ages. The
"baby boom" generation
(persons born from 1946 to
1964) makes up the largest
percentage of the county's age
groups.
From 1980 to 1990, the aver-
age age of Dakota County
residents increased from 27.1
to 30.2 years. In 1995, senior
citizens made up about 6.6
percent of the county's popula-
tion. That number is expected
to double in 20 years, growing
to 14.5 percent.
"That's a very tremendous
change and a real difference in
the kinds of services people
will need," Ditmore said. "If
we don't plan for this now,
there will be a seriously defi-
cient supply of subsidized
housing to meet the needs of
the elderly in the future."
According to Ditmore, the
county projects a subsidized
housing supply of 1,735 units
by 2004-05. The projected de-
mand for such units in 2020 is
more than 11,000.
The geographic distribution
of different age groups' is also
changing. The rapidly growing
communities of Lakeville,
Rosemount and Farmington are
experiencing large increases in
school -age children. A new
trend is the aging population of
suburban areas in Burnsville
and Eagan.
In 1997, the Metropolitan
Council estimated there were
120,715 households in Dakota
County. Between 1995 and
2020, the Metropolitan Council
projects that Dakota County
will add nearly 71,200 addi-
tional households.
Between 1993 and 1996, Da-
kota County averaged about
3,400 residential building per-
mits annually. During that
same period, the total number
of building permits averaged
about 10,900 annually.
In 1996, Dakota County had
more than 122,500 housing
units. Of this total, 61 percent

From 1990 to 1996, employ-

had about 8 percent of the jobs
in the metro area. In 1996, this

The largest share of jobs are
concentrated in retail trade and

Polio victim Chapdelaine
prayed for others
By Sue Hegarty _ - _ t 55.e.
Minne to Sun Publications
Stricken with polio a age 3, LaDonna
Chapdelaine of Eagan defied the odds of
survival.
Chapdelaine celebrated her 80th
birthday in June, but died July 26 of lung
and heart failure.
Born in a log cabin on Dodd Road,
Chapdelaine was one of eight children
who grew up on the family's farm on Ea-
gan's east side. She spent seven years
undergoing surgeries and physical ther-
apy at Gillette Hospital. With only the
use of her right arm and left leg, she en-
dured casts and body braces during the
77 years she lived with polio's effects.
Despite her physical limitations,
Chapdelaine cheerfully accepted the
challenges of her handicap and focused
her energies on the lives of others, said
her brother Don Chapdelaine, a former
Dakota County commissioner.
"It is so easy for us to get caught up in
life and not reach out. She ignored her
own personal needs as much as she could
and reached out to others. They sought
her out," he said.
Her willingness to talk about her
handicap taught others to overcome more
than physical challenges. She never at-
tended formal schooling. Her older sister,
Loretta Sachwitz, was a teacher and
taught her sister at home.
"She was a peacemaker and a vivid ex-
ample to the family that anytime we
thought we had problems, we didn't com-
pared to her," added her brother.
The family would push her across the
kitchen floor on a chair. About 1940, she
received a wheel-
chair and became
more active out-
side the home.
She was a mem-
ber of the Prayer
Chain at St. Pe-
ter's Catholic
Church in Mendo-
ta for more than
20 years.
"She called
herself the
'prayer ma-
chine,'" said Mary Sich of Mendota
Heights. "She had a wonderful, fighting,
spirit and was a person you could always
count on. She was in tune with prayer
and believed it would work for her and for
others."
Her brother Joe Chapdelaine was her
primary caregiver until she entered the
Southview Nursing Home in West St.
Paul.
Besides her older sister, she was pre-
ceded in death by her parents Louis and
Sylvia and her brother LeRoy.
She is survived by sisters Marie Riley,
Edith McNamara; brothers and spouses
Louis and Mary, Joseph, Donald and
Gerry. She also is survived by 28 nieces
and nephews, great nieces and nephews
and a network of friends with whom she
had a spiritual bond.
A Mass of Christian Burial was July
30 at Church of St. Peter in Mendota,
with interment in the church cemetery.
Memorials are preferred to St. Peter's
Church, Mendota.
Arrangements were by O'Halloran
and Murphy funeral home.

THE PIERRE CHAPDELAINE FAMILY
The Pierre Chapdelaine family arrived in St. Paul, Minnesota on
the 31st day of October, 1848, thus becoming some of the first non-native
permanent residents of Minnesota. When they arrived in St. Paul there
were only a few frame houses of haphazard construction and livestock

Pierre Chapdelaine, son of Francois and Gennevieve Norman was born
at St. Ours, Quebec on June 29, 1807. He married Marguerite Plante,
Daughter of Antoine and Marguerite Antaya at St. Pierre De Sorel on
October 29, 1838. Five children were born to them before they left Quebe$
during the early summer of 1838.
The family resided at what is now the corner of tenth and Wabasha
in St. Paul, until 1853, when Pierre traded this 80 acre claim for a team
of freighting oxen. The traded property eventually became the site of
the original Minnesota State Capitol. He then purchased land in
sections 12 and 13 of what later would become part of Eagan Township,
Dakota County from Edward Bibaux (Bibault) and Felix Ake. In the spring
CA 1857 while still in St. Paul the Minnesota River rose too high for
Pierre to reach his claim. Mr. F. Lebret took advantage of the absence
and "jumped" the claim. However the 1896 Dakota County Plat/book
identifies Pierre Chapdelaine as owner of 110 acres in section 12 of
Eagan Township; evidently the property dispute was resolved in favor of
Pierre Chapdelaine.
After LeBret had jumped his claim, Pierre pre-empted 120 acres
further south in section 24 of Eagan Township and section 18 Of Inver
Grove near the Westcott station.
He first erected a log cabin and later a more permanent dwelling
and farm buildings. He pursued a general line of farming simlar to that
which he had known in his native province. By 1881 the Chapdelaine
family operated 160 acres. In the 1860's he also owned property in Erin
Township, Rice county near Wheatland.
