Adaline was the daughter of John Baptist Hus dit Cournoyer and Archange Huyet dit Champagne. Their ancestors came over from France to Quebec, and then into the Detroit, Michigan area, and later, Monroe County towns. Adaline was born in the Frenchtown area of Monroe County.
Adaline MARRIED 1ST TO JOHN SPENCER. They had six children:
(1)John Spencer, Jr. (born 28 Jul 1848)
(2)Frederick Spencer (born 08 Mar 1851)
(3)Adaline Matilda Spencer (27 May 1853)
(4)Margaret Cornelia Spencer (born 28 Nov 1855)
(5)Julia Spencer (born 27 Mar 1858)
(6)Stephen Douglas Spencer (born 13 Jul 1860)
Adaline's 1st husband, John Spencer, took $500 to take another man's place in the Civil War, enlisting on 24 August 1861 at the age of 40. He was wounded in October of 1863, and died in December of 1863 of disease, leaving Adaline a widow with six children.
Adaline later also had a son:
(7) George, born in 1867. George is listed as "George Spencer" in the 1870 census (the only census he appears in), but it is impossible that John Spencer, Sr. was his father, since John died in 1863. In addition, George is not listed as a child of Adaline and John Spencer, Sr. in the pension records that Adaline later filled out after John's death. However...recently his real father's name has come to light, in the Michigan birth record for George (born May 22, 1867). His real father was George A. Soleaux, a laborer of Frenchtown, Monroe County, Michigan. In the birth record (found on Family Search) it not only lists Mr. Soleaux as his father, it specifically lists the birth as illegitimate. So, that should put speculation to rest on who young George's father was.
On 19 Apr 1869 Adaline MARRIED 2ND TO JOHN LACOSSE, a laborer in Frenchtown. Adaline and John had a son:
(8) William Lacosse (born June 1870)
In April of 1875, Adaline and four of her children (Adaline Matilda Spencer, Julia Spencer, Stephen Spencer and William Lacosse) made a move with other relatives from Monroe, Michigan to St. Marys, Kansas and surrounding communities. Three other adult children (John Spencer, Frederick Spencer and Margaret Spencer) stayed in Michigan. The group that traveled to Kansas did so by covered wagon, and they lived in log cabins when they got there. St. Marys was a strong Catholic community, as was Monroe, Michigan, and both areas also had tribes of Pottawatomie Indians living in the area so it was a move with some familiarities to it.
On 5 September 1877, Adaline MARRIED 3RD TO JOSEPH ANTOINE AUBERT in Rossville, Shawnee Co., Kansas. They had no children together, but Antoine did have four children of his own, by his first wife Marie Angelique Adele Moret:
Louis Cesar Aubert
Joseph Anthony Aubert
Henry Emmanuel Aubert
Mary Adilee Aubert
Antoine Aubert and Adaline eventually moved from the country into the town of St Marys, Pottawatomie Co, Kansas, where they remained for the rest of their lives.
Side note: While the spelling of Adaline's first name is sometimes seen as "Adeline," most of the time she used "Adaline," including on early census records and pension records she filed regarding her first husband, John Spencer.

Gravesite Details
She is listed in cemetery records under "J.A. Aubert and wife", so she is probably buried next to him.
