Page 749: "Although Madame Grandlouis was the first white woman to reach within view of the mouth of the Kaw, she was not the first woman to settle there. The Grandlouis family remained at Randolph Bluffs till the following August, during which time Marie Berenice Chouteau arrived from St. Louis and took up her abode at the trading post below the present gas-works [1821?]. Soon afterwards, Madame Grandlouis came up with her husband to locate at the same place, and what must have been her joy to find another white woman there. ..Madame Grandlouis died some years ago, at the age of nearly one hundred years."
