I thought it would be fun to share that a great granddaughter of Mary’s sister Maude recently contacted me. We have never met but it turns out we have lots in common. And she’s just started a blog about her family! I’m really excited for her – and I hope you’ll check our her blog.
The blog is called patriots2pioneers: Stories of an American Family. Click here and give her a visit!

Mrs. Mary Sullivan (84 yrs) broke her ankle [March] 1. Christie fooled me this morning. Said Mrs. Hartnelle wanted me.
Mary and her third husband Eugene – joined in matrimony for fewer than six months before his tragic death in June 1945 – will forever rest side by side in Resurrection Cemetery located in Helena, Montana.

I sure have been sick from pain in my whole body from too much heavy work. Joe Walsh died in N.Y. last wk & his wife died a few yrs ago in Butte. [Name redacted] of Helena took his life. J. Traufler’s house is tore down. Betor’s barn, Theo Shed’s home, Geo. Hart’s blacksmith shop, Stevenson’s Chas. house.[1. I think Mary means to say that in addition to J. Traufler’s house, this list of buildings have also been torn down.] Jack Walker [has] moved to Helena for school term. Jim Lee, Jr. died in Missoula the 29th [of September]. The Bald Butte mine is making good again since it worked last in 1906.[2. Click here for a history of the Bald Butte mine, including reclamation efforts.]
