Another name for Stacia was Annastasia Rose Chandler.1 7 8 9
General Notes:
Her true given name appears to be "Stacia" which is what is shown on her birth certificate and in other forms of spelling on the 1920 and 1930 US Census forms. Other researchers show her given name as Anastasia and it only shows that way on her 1940 US Census and her death certificate. We can only assume that late in life she preferred the name of Anastasia over Stacia or Statia. ------------------------------------------------
According to information supplied by Beverly Morgenstern, Charles Chandler was the biological father of Stacia. Because she was listed as "Statia Lightfoot" in the 1920 Census, it must be assumed that Rose divorced Charles Chandler and married Charles Lightfoot sometime between 1915 and 1920. --------------------------------------------------- 10

Anastasia's death certificate listed her father as Charles Lightfoot. The informant was Arthur C. Derouin, her son who apparently did not know that her true father was Charles Chandler. It was Charles Lightfoot who raised Anastasia for almost her entire childhood and Charles Chandler was probably nowhere in her life.
Also it is interesting to note that the death certificate lists her mother's name as "Lillian Bluestone" instead of Rose Stoops. Could it be that Rose's true name was something like "Lillian Rose Stoops"? Rose's mother was Mary Louise Robinson who was first married to Thomas Stoops when she had Anastasia and then to Samuel Bluestone. It sounds as if Rose was raised her entire childhood by her step-father, Samuel Bluestone and used that surname during her adult life just like her daughter used the name of her step-father, Charles Lightfoot, instead of her true father, Charles Chandler. ---------------------------------------------------

Marriage Notes:
The 1935 Eau Claire City Directory lists Arthur J. Derouin living at 224 - 9th Avenue. His occupation was listed as a bartender for "W. J. Derouin". William J. Derouin's listing indicated that he ran a confectionery business so I'm not sure of the discrepancy in the type of business. In the 1937 directory, his occupation is listed as a clerk for W. J. Derouin. He and his wife, Anastasia have their residence as 740½ Broadway. In the 1939 directory, his occupation is listed as laborer and their residence as 315 - 10th Avenue. In 1941, his occupation is still listed as laborer and their residence at 838½ Water Street. In 1946, he is a laborer for Horel-George, and their residence is at 631 Menomonie. In 1951 through 1954, his occupation is roofer for Horel-George Company and their residence is 113½ Niagara. In 1956, Anastasia is living at 113 Ann Street, Apartment #3 while Arthur is living at 111½ Grand Avenue West, apparently after their divorce. -----------------------------------------------
