THERON W. HICKS, a highly esteemed and representative citizen of Carbon county, and extensively engaged in the stock industry, resides one mile and one-half south of Nye. He was born at Avoca, Wisconsin, November 27. 1860.
gress from Wisconsin. He was a self-educated man, studying law as had Lincoln, under dif- ficulties. He was, also, an early California pioneer, going there in 1849. In 1861 he en- listed in a Wisconsin regiment, and served through the Civil War as a quartermaster. At the close of the war he returned to his law practice, which he followed until his death at the age of eighty. The mother of our sub- ject died while he was an infant three years of age.
In the Hawkeye State the latter received a good business education, and when about seventeen years of age faced the world for himself, going to the Black Hills with wagons. There he remained ten years, and was engaged in freighting. Thence he went to Wyoming, and there he ran a stage from Fort Piedmont to Sand Creek two years, thence going to Butte, Montana. From the aroma of sage brush to sulphur smoke is quite a radical change, but he remained there four years hand- ling ore most of the time. Thence he went to Gardiner, Montana, where he began working for the Yellowstone Park Transportation Com- pany, and with whom he is still connected. He passes the summers in the Park in charge of stock, and during the winters takes them to his ranch where they are well cared for. He holds a position of considerable responsi- bility, but is fully capable of handling it to the best advantage.
At Livingston, Montana, September 2, 1896, our subject was married to Emma Fitz- gerald. a native of the Silver State, born at Chico Hot Springs. Her parents, Sellick and Mary ( Brown) Fitzgerald, came form Oregon to Montana in a wagon. They had driven from Iowa to Sacramento. California, thence to Oregon and Montana. They still live at Gardiner near which place they have a ranch. For many years they were in the hotel business at Gardiner. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks have two
The father of our subject. Franklin Z .. was an early settler of Wisconsin, coming there in the 50's. He died in Rapid City, Dakota, in January, 1896, to which place he had removed several years previous. At the time of his death he was judge of the super- ior court. and had been twice elected to con- | children, Theron, born September 7. 1898, and

Mary, born June 14, 1903. Politically Mr. Hicks is a Republican, although not active.
GUY D. HUNTER is a native Montan- ian, the place of his birth being Bozeman and the date April 28, 1869. Irving Hunter, his father, born in New York state in 1838 was a mill man and settled in Bozeman as early as 1866. He owned one of the first saw mills in the county and was well known. He met his death at the hands of an infuriated man named Law during some trouble over a parcel of land. Our subject's mother was Josephine De- Ratt, a native of Cayuga county, New York. The opportunities for gaining an education were rather meager in the early days of Mon- tana, yet our subject received fair training and when seventeen years of age went to work on a ranch for Myers Bros. In 1887 he started to farm for himself locating on a place southwest from Bozeman where he remained until 1891. Later, he homesteaded the place where he now resides, one mile northeast from Clyde, and embarked upon cattle and horse raising. He has met with splendid success and now owns four sections of agricultural land in the val- ley, one-fourth of which is already under the ditch. He has considerable stock and is one of the well to do men of Park county :
On February 4. 1892, occurred the mar- riage of Mr. Hunter and Mary Francis, the daughter of Henry Francis, a rancher and stockman. Four children have come to crown this marriage, Allen W., born June 10, 1893; Lulie, Nina E., and Alice.
Mr. Hunter is a Republican and a member of the M. W. A.
JOHN T. FOWLER. The subject of this sketch resides on a handsomely located ranch one-half mile from Dean, Carbon county. The
place of his nativity is LaFayette county, Wis- consin. His father, Richard, was born in 1849 came to Wisconsin, where he engaged in min- ing, having followed that business in England. In Wisconsin he became foreman of a smelter, in which vocation he remained until his death in 1887. The mother, Sarah (Garbett ) Fowler, was also a native of Yorkshire, where she was married. She came to the United States with her husband, where she died in 1884.
At the age of sixteen years our subject left school and home in Wisconsin and went to Iowa, remaining, however, but a short time. Following a visit home he went to southwest- ern Missouri, and in 1880 to the Black Hills. Thence he went to Minnesota and subsequently made another visit home. It was in 1882 that he came to Butte, Montana, going thence to Helena and Marysville, where he followed mining in various camps in that territory and Colorado. To his present location at Dean he came in 1893, and here he secured the homestead upon which he at present re- sides.
May 20, 1905, Mr. Fowler was married to Annie Farris, born in Iowa county, Wiscon- sin, and where she was reared and educated. Her father, John Farris, was a native of Ire- land, coming to the United States in the for- ties. Her mother, Mary (Stevens) Farris, was a native of Pennsylvania, her people having gone there from New York.
REINZA W. BLAKESLEY, although not one of the earliest settlers of Montana, is certainly to be classed among its most pro- gressive and active men of today. A young man filled with energy and dominated by wise judgment as has been manifested in his busi- ness enterprise, he has succeeded in his labors since coming to Montana in such a gratifying manner that he is classed among the well to

do men of Rosebud county today. In Decem- ber, 1900, he first set foot inside the state and for two years he was engaged in teaching school. During these two years he not only taught school but gave himself carefully to the study of the natural conditions and re- sources of what is now Rosebud county and he wisely determined to take up the stock busi- ness. He invested his earnings in sheep and secured more. Although his experience in handling sheep in the west is confined to the little which we have mentioned, he has shown himself a master in the business and is be- coming a close second to some of the leading sheep men of Rosebud county. So well has he succeeded in his efforts that in the spring of 1906, he purchased a ranch of eleven hundred acres, where he now resides, fifteen miles up the Rosebud from Forsyth. This place is his headquarters and he handles his stock in var- jous directions and gives all his care, his en- ergy, his wisdom, and his close attention to business. He is looked upon as one of the very substantial and leading citizens.
Mr. Blakesley was born in Ringgold county, Iowa on May 7, 1877. His father, H. C. Blakesley, was a native of Indiana and came to Iowa in the early fifties, being a pioneer of what is now Ringgold county and he has re- mained in Iowa ever since. He married Mary E. Devass, a native of Iowa, who died when Reinza W. was a small child. Our subject received his education in Iowa, being a very diligent student and fitted himself for teach- ing as a stepping stone to a business life. He was highly esteemed as an educator in this county and did excellent work during the time he gave his attention to it.
In 1902, Mr. Blakesley married Edna F. Philbrick, who was born, reared and educated in the state of Maine. She came to Montana also in 1900 and taught school for two years in Rosebud county. Her parents, Freeman and Mary F. (Merrill) Philbrick, were natives of Maine. Mr. and Mrs. Blakesley have two
children, Hazel Fern, a bright little girl, and an infant unnamed.
HENRY J. STANBACH, who resides at Shields, Montana, has certainly shown a com- mendable energy and progressiveness in the labors he has accomplished in Montana since the sixties, being at the present time one of the wealthy land owners and stockmen of the state. Following his life in consecutive order, we notice first that he was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, November 25, 1859. His father, Voleman S., a Hessian, was born at Frank- fort-on-the-Main in 1832 and followed tailor- ing. He came to America in 1848 and settled in Baltimore, where he learned his trade. He moved to Minnesota in 1855, and soon there- after rented the old Ramsey county farm. In 1865, he came to Helena bringing his family and took up a ranch later at Winston, where he now lives. He married Julia Market, who was born in Bavaria in 1829, came to Amer- ica in 1847, the wedding occurring in Balti- more in the early fifties. Our subject was edu- cated in the various places where the family lived during his boyhood and he remained with his father until twenty-five years of age, at which time he commenced business for him- self. Among his first acts was the taking of a homestead on the Shields river, which is a part of his present estate. Soon after that he embarked in the cattle business and he has been more or less occupied with that ever since. At the present time he owns eighteen hundred acres of good soil on the Shields river and four years ago completed a ditch upon which he had been laboring eleven years and which cost twenty thousand dollars. He was the first man to use the steam plow in the val- ley and has always shown himself a very pro- gressive man. Formerly he handled a great deal of stock but has now reduced his herds to two hundred and fifty cattle.

On January 12, 1898, Mr. Stanbach mar- ried Mary Storer, who was born in the northern part of England near the mouth of the Tweed, being the daughter of Thomas and Martha (Spaven) Stanbach and the oldest of four children. She came to America in 1889. Mr. Stanbach is a member of the Catholic church while his wife belongs to the Presby- terian. He is a Democrat in politics and takes a lively interest in general affairs. Mr. Stan- bach has two sisters, Mrs. Mary Lokowisch and Mrs. Lizzie Degan, both living at Wins- ton. Mrs. Stanbach has one sister, Sarah Storer, dwelling at Chestnut, Montana. It is of interest that the older Stanbach left St. Paul, it being May 2, 1865, and he came on the old Fisk overland route, traveling all the way by ox team and arriving in Helena on November 20 of the same year. He and his son are both sturdy pioneers of this county and the success achieved by our subject places him among the substantial business men of the state.
ALBERT P. O'LEARY, M. D., one of the well known physicians of Billings, was born at Flint, Michigan, August 26, 1870, be- ing the son of John C. and Olive M. ( Vernon) O'Leary, natives of county Cork, Ireland, and New York state, respectively. The father came from his native land to Michigan in 1849 and in addition to conducting a farm there en- gaged in the lumber trading of that time. His marriage occurred in 1853 and in 1876 he removed with his family to Oregon and engaged in stockraising. Later he removed to Mackay, Idaho, where he follows sheep raising. Dr. O'Leary has two brothers, one, John V., raising sheep at Mackenzie, Oregon, and the other Frank, engaged in the same business in Idaho. He also has two sisters, Mary V. and Edith, both of whom are teach- ing school in Butte, this state.
The doctor received his early education from the public schools of Oregon and later matriculated in the Wasco Independent Acad- emy at The Dalles, that state, where he was graduated in the class of 1892. The next fall he went to Michigan and entered the famous state university at Ann Arbor and studied steadily for six years, being graduated in 1898 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Al- though fully equipped by the excellent course he had pursued, Dr. O'Leary felt it incumbent upon him to still further pursue his duties and researches. Accordingly he became interne at St. Vincent's hospital in Portland, Oregon, and remained one year. After that he had charge of contagious diseases for Silver Bow county, Montana, until 1903, with his home in Butte. The following two years were spent in the practice of his profession at the hot springs of Boulder and Alhambra, this state, and from those points he came to Billings and has since remained in the steady practice of medicine.
Dr. O'Leary is a member of the time hon- cred Catholic church and is also affiliated with the Knights of Columbus.
ORLANDO E. HASKIN, one of the leading and influential citizens of Carbon county, and engaged in general ranching and stock raising, resides at Dean. He was born in Lowell, Indiana, October 12, 1865.
His father, of the same name, was born in Pittsfield, New York, and when a young man removed to Indiana. He was a mill- wright by trade, and erected several important mills in the vicinity of Lowell, and which he owned and operated. He died in 1869. Orig- inally the family came from the British Isles, in 1700, and settled in New York. Several of them participated in the war of the Revolu- tion, and among them was our subject's pa- ternal great-grandfather, Enoch. The mother

of the subject of this sketch, Loraine ( Evans) Haskin, is a native of Ohio. When a small child she went to Indiana with her parents, and here she was married. She came to Mon- tana in 1889, where she still resides.
In 1849 an uncle of our subject went to California, via the Panama route, and here he was quite successful. When he returned to New York City he began the construction of a tunnel under the Hudson river, for the pur- pose of connecting New York with Jersey City. He did not live to witness its comple- tion, but he had conceived the original idea while crossing the river the ferry boat being delayed by the drift ice. An uncle of our sub- ject's father, and the father of his mother went to California about the same period.
In the public schools of Lowell our sub- ject received his education, and also worked on a farm. At the age of twenty years he came to Billings, and for a short time fired a yard engine for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. In November, 1886, he came to his present location, at that time on the Crow In- dian reservation, upon which there were only four settlers. There arose a dispute regarding the line of the reservation, and our subject, not believing he was on the reservation at all, had considerable trouble with the Indian De- partment before securing his rights. In 1896 our subject went to Boston and here he en- gaged in pneumatic tunnel work until 1901. when he returned to his Montana ranch, and where he has since remained. In March, 1903. his wife was appointed postmistress of Dean, the office being located in Mr. Haskin's house.
In 1894 our subject was married to Eliza- beth Swain, a native of Michigan where she was reared and educated, principally in Grand Rapids. She taught school in Michigan and, also, in Montana. Mr. Haskin has one child Helen L., born in Montana.
Our subject takes an active interest in politics. and last year served as delegate to state and county conventions.
FRANK W. DRAPER, deceased. Pres- ident Roosevelt said: "The best heritage the pioneer can leave to future generations is the simple yet powerful story of his life; of hard- ships endured, of dangers passed, and the final victory over wilderness and desert plain." He has spoken nothing more truthful. In ac- cordance with the spirit of this excellent say- ing we desire to grant the reader a review of the life of one who was numbered with the sturdy pioneers of southeastern Montana as well as of other portions of the great West ..
Frank W. Draper has finished his career, his work is done, but though he sleeps there is mnuch in what he did that will stir hearts to worthy effort in admiration of the courage displayed by him in his trying ordeals.
In far away Ticonderoga county, New York, on February 4, 1854, the subject of this memoir was born to Hiram and Mehitable (LeCrane) Draper. The father, a native of New York state, was killed in battle while fighting for his country in 1863. Previous to his demise, the father had taken his family to Belvidere, Illinois, and there Frank W. grad- uated from the high school. When seventeen years of age he accompanied the balance of the family to Edgar, Nebraska, and taught school there for a couple of years. In 1874 he went to Sioux City, Iowa, and shortly afterwards to California. Two years later we find Mr. Draper with a prairie schooner making his way via Denver, Colorado, to the Black Hills, Dakota. He embarked in the furniture busi- ness with Mr. Pepper, but later sold that busi- ness and started a drug store. After eighteen months in that business he accepted the posi- tion of wagon boss for a large freighting com- pany doing business between Bismarck and the "Hills." In 1880 he drove to Miles City and took charge of the Diamond R wagon train and freighted out from Miles City. This was the winter which was so indelibly stamped in the memory of all the old inhabitants of Mon- tana. Stock died by the thousands, buffalo

starved off the plains and freezing to death roamed the streets of the towns as mildly as dairy cattle. Such cold and snow have never been experienced since. It was not an unusual thing for Mr. Draper's men to find some of the mules frozen stiff when they went to harness up. It is well nigh impossible to estimate the suffering endured by the sturdy freighters. Six months later Mr. Draper went to Junction City and opened a retail liquor store, and a few months later moved to Benson's Landing, four miles from where Livingston now stands. The centers of business in those days changed so rapidly that Mr. Draper built a house in sections to enable him to move without so much loss. When Clark, now Livingston, was started Mr. Draper at once moved thither and it is on record that his was the first building erected there. He remained in business there until the fire of 1885 burned up his entire property, save the lot, and his next move was to Cook City, then a lively place. On Novem- ber 6, 1886, the smelter shut down in that camp and things went down but Mr. Draper remained with the town till August, 1887, when he transferred his residence to Nye and there remained till the camp was found to be on the Indian reservation, when he was forced to again take the road. This time he located in Red Lodge and in partnership with Dr. Macomber opened the first drug store of the town. A year or so later he sold out and set- tled on the ranch for one summer. Later we find him dwelling on the farm where his death occurred on July 10, 1901. Cancer was the cause of his taking away and he was mourned by a very large circle of friends.
The marriage of Mr. Draper and Miss Matilda Martin was consummated September 13, 1882, Judge Braden performing the cere- mony as there were no ministers in the coun- try then. Mrs. Draper was born in Germany, came to Sioux City, Iowa, in 1874, accompa- nying her brother and later went to Miles City with friends. Her parents had died in 32
Germany. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Draper: I. Albert, Edwin W., and Charles H., who are living and two twin girls and a twin sister of Albert who have died.
Mr. Draper was a charter member of the K. P. and I. O. O. F. lodges of Livingston and also of the W. O. W. at Red Lodge. He was a stanch Republican and always took an active part in local politics. He was the first school trustee and hired the first school teacher in Red Lodge, this being in 1888. Thus it is seen that Mr. Draper has been a pioneer in the true sense of the word and his labors were always in the line of progress and development of the country.
JOHN P. HUXTABLE is one of Custer county's agriculturists and stockmen and is to be classed with the pioneers, for he took land from the raw state, securing a quarter under the homestead right, and has made of it a good home and a valuable farm. His place is about six miles south from Etna and he has resided here since 1889.
Devonshire, England, is the native heath of our subject, and January 24. 1855. the date of his birth, his parents, Josiah and Ann (Pugsley ) Huxtable, natives of the same place as this son, having been farmers there till the death of his father. The mother still lives, in England. Being reared on the farm in Eng- land, and educated in his native place, our sub- ject is imbued with the spirit of thrift so characteristic of his race. When twenty years of age his adventurous spirit led him to try the United States, believing better things awaited him here. Van Buren county, Michi- gan, was the objective point and in 1878 he came on west to Kansas where he farmed for some time. In 1881 we find him in Glendive where he did ranching. The next year he went to Bozeman and in the spring of 1883 he made his way to the Musselshell, but in a short time

went thence to Miles City and in 1889, as men- tioned before, he came to his present place and began operations of a permanent character. From that time till the present Mr. Huxtable has been steadily laboring in the chosen oc- cupations and steadily he has prospered. It came slow at first but as he became better es- tablished and got his land under cultivation and his stock increased, times for him were better and he is now rated one of the substan- tial men of the county.
On November 1, 1900, Mr. Huxtable mar- ried Miss Mary E. Bergen, a native of Ferry- ville, Wisconsin. When young she came with her parents, Jacob T. and Caroline (Torgor- sen) Bergen, to Red Wing, Minnesota, where she resided until her marriage. Her father was born in Guttenberg. Sweden, came to America when young and is a veteran of the Mexican war. The mother was born in Bergen, Norway, and came to Amer- ica with her parents when a girl of twelve years. Mr. Huxtable has two brothers, Nathaniel, and Cephas, and two sisters, Anna and Martha. Mrs. Huxtable's sisters, she has no brothers, are named as follows, Caroline A .. Fannie M., Emma C., Minnie B., and Ida O. To our subject and his wife one child has been born, John P., at Red Wing, Minnesota, on July 28, 1903.
FRANK B. OSBORNE, the subject of this sketch, was born in Morgan county, Illi- nois, June 30, 1862. At present he resides on a fine and productive ranch four and one-half miles up the creek from the town of Fishtail, Carbon county. His father, James C., is a native of Tennessee, and when very young was left an orphan. At the age of eleven years, he and a younger brother, walked to Illinois, where they lived with relatives until he had attained his majority. There he learned the trade of a plasterer, and purchased a farm.
This was in Morgan county, and he now rents the place and resides in town. The mother of our subject, Maria ( Phillips) Osborne, is a native of Illinois, and is still living. Her peo- ple were early pioneers of that state.
Until he arrived at the age of seventeen our subject attended the public schools in Illi- nois. He then left home with the small capi- tal of $1.25, going first to Missouri, where he found employment on farms. To south- west Kansas he removed in 1882, and from there he went to the Indian Territory. The same fall he went to California: in 1883 to Puget Sound, and the same year he continued on to Butte, Montana. He came to Prickley Pear Junction, Montana, in 1885, and there for a short time conducted a section, coming thence to Bigtimber, where he remained until 1889. So soon as the Indian reservation was opened he secured a homestead in the vicinity of Fishtail, and here he has since remained. He is at present engaged in the cattle business. Mr. Osborne is a single man.
SAMUEL O'N. C. BRADY has resided in Montana for nearly a quarter of a century, and during this term of years he has risen from a poor boy to be one of the wealthy stockmen and land owners of Park county. An account of his career can but be interest- ing and instructive as well, for the success he has achieved will certainly stimulate others in their labors. Samuel Brady was born in Dun- lewey House, Donegal, Ireland, June 1, 1861. His father. George Fraser Brady, was born in Lifford. Donegal. Ireland. and was a prac- ticing physician. His father. the grandfather of our subject, was an officer in the British army. Our subject's ancestors came to Amer- ica in very early days and Fort Brady was named after them. Then some returned to the old country and from that line sprang Samuel Brady. Private schools furnished the

educational training of Mr. Brady and he re- mained in Ireland until 1882, in which year he set sail for New York, landing June 26. He soon found his way west to Iowa and be- gan working on a farm. In the spring of. 1883 he came on to Montana and went to work for Myers Bros. on the Shields river. For five years he followed working out and then he had accumulated sufficient capital to warrant the inauguration of independent action, so in 1888 he took four hundred and eighty acres of gov- ernment land, two miles east from where Myersburg now stands and settled down to raising stock. For a while it was pretty hard pulling as his capital was very limited, but by doing general farming and commencing in a very small way, he soon succeeded in getting a fine start and has grown steadily since until at the present time he has five thousand sheep, sixty head of cattle and a goodly number of horses. He owns five thousand, four hundred acres of deeded land and leases one thousand two hundred and eighty acres from the state. All of this has been achieved without assist- ance of any kind from the outside, for Mr. Brady started without capital save two good strong hands and a determination to win his way to success. His holdings enumerated at this time, place him among the leading stock- men of the county, while his acts for the years past have given him an unsullied reputation and standing among his fellows.
