Annie Deering told me how the people give me credit for all I’ve done for myself and the big ideas I had in store for education and the upbuilding to and from my children, but it was a failure for some unknown reason. It’s sure a nice day and Oh! such beautiful moonlight nites. Nature is grand, only I regret seeing too little of it.

Cid-Francis Dalin & family, Carl-Maud Rasmusen & family – and brother Jno Rumping were up from Helena. Mrs. Bill Murry died in Butte, was buried in Helena by Clara, Tom, Mr. and 3 smaller children.[1. Based on minimal research at Ancestry.com, familysearch.org, and FindAGrave.com, I believe this woman to be Minnie A. (Cullen) Murray who was married to William R. Murray. She is buried in Helena at Forestvale Cemetery. Her plot is described as “Valleyview 85” (see FindAGrave Memorial #121067415). Also located at Valleyview 85 are graves for the following: Thomas C.
