On April 6, 1906, Mrs. Strong was taken from her family and home by death. She was an estimable woman and had many warm friends.
Mr. Strong has one daughter, Ella May, who is at home with her father. Fraternally, our subject is affiliated with the Knights Temp- lar, and in political matters he always mani- fests a warm interest. Mr. Strong is a man of substantial character, has justly earned the title of builder of this county and country, having been associated with all the early set- tlers in the good work of improving and open- ing the country. He stands well at this time and is esteemed by all and is one of the lead- ing men of Custer county.
JACOB T. LANDE, born near Bugur, Norway, July 29, 1860, now resides on an ex- cellent ranch, four miles south of Absarokee, Carbon county. His father, Torbjorn, was a native of the same place. When a young man he went to sea, in which profession he con- tinued until he was an old man, when he re- tired to his home. The mother, Bertha (Ja- cobs) Lande, is still living in the old home. She was born in Norway.
On completing his education in Norway our subject went to sea, and this he followed until he was twenty-two years of age. He then located in Polk county, Iowa, working for wages, and in 1887 came to the state of Washi- ington, working at Tekoa and other places. He came to the Gallatin valley in 1888, and here he leased a ranch. He came to his pres- ent location in April, 1893. and took up a homestead. It is all under irrigation and he has excellent buildings. Since coming here he has engaged mainly in the cattle business.
In 1894 our subject was married to Abbie
Handley, born near Columbus, Montana. Her father, Alexander, was an early pioneer of the territory, and an Indian fighter of renown. She has four children, Henry D., George A., Andrew L. and Thomas.
MRS. MARY S. McCUNE resides three miles down the Yellowstone from Sphinx, Montana, where she does a general ranch busi- ness. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 4, 1842, the daughter of Michael and Mary (Mulic) Stucer, natives of Germany and emi- grants to America in the early part of the nine- teenth century. Early in life her father fol- lowed moulding and his later life was spent in farming. When sixteen years of age, Mrs. McCune married George Pfoll, a native of France. He emigrated to America when four- teen years of age. In 1865 Mr. and Mrs. Pfohl came to Montana and settled in Vir- ginia City. Shortly afterward they moved to Bivins Gulch where they remained for fifteen years, Mr. Pfohl working in the placer mines. In 1877, they moved to the Yellowstone and rented a ranch. The next year they secured the place where Mrs. McCune now resides. To this couple thirteen children were born, ten of whom are alive and whose names are given as follows: George, born September I, 1859: William, July 6, 1865; Andrew, August 25. 1866; Carrie, June 11, 1868; Edward, Au- gust 25. 1876; Sarah A., May 27, 1880; Charles, July 21, 1877; John, May 30, 1881; Thomas, August 21, 1878; Frederick, June II, 1884. On December 26, 1889, Mr. Pfohl was called hence by death. He and his wife were members of the Catholic church.
Mrs. Pfohl married Robert McCune, who was born in New York in 1851 of Scotch par- ents. Mrs. McCune well remembers when Chief Joseph came through the country and their place was right in his line of march. A large force had gathered to repulse him but

when within fifteen or twenty miles he changed his course and did not disturb them.
Mrs. McCune has seen much of the early life in Montana and has endured many hard- ships. Those early days of placer mining are days never to be repeated in the history of this state and although somewhat like the early days of mining in different sections of the west, still they form a distinctive chapter and epoch in this history, and for many years Mrs. Mc- Cune was intimately associated with this me- thod of life and raised a large family which means that she had a great labor and endured much suffering and showed a brave and cour- ageous spirit. She is now one of the honored citizens of Park county, esteemed by all.
WARREN E. BROOKS is well known in Rosebud as one of the substantial business men of the place, being proprietor of the Yel- lowstone livery stables, which are doing a good business, being well equipped with ex- cellent rigs and first-class stock. Mr. Brooks is well known as a man who never leaves any- thing undone that would be for the comfort or safety of his patrons and the result is he enjoys a first-class trade.
Fayette county, Iowa, is a native place of Mr. Brooks and April 17, 1869, his natal day. His father, Hiram Brooks, was born in Canada and removed to Iowa in early days where he followed farming. He also was a carpenter and mechanic and worked at these occupations with his farming. In 1873 he came west and finally located four miles south from where Colfax, Washington, now stands. He was formerly in Dayton, that state. It was 1875 when he located his farm and from that time on he has resided in Washington, being now in the city of Spokane. As the country was new then he was soon employed in build- ing and has followed this business all over the Palouse country. He assisted to erect the
first flour mill in Palouse City and has been more or less identified with the building of the main edifices of his section. He married Miss Mary Jaques, a native of Iowa, who died in Washington in 1886. Our subject re- ceived his educational training from the com- mon schools of eastern Washington and was employed with his father and on the farm. In the fall of 1892 he fitted with a four horse team and started to explore Alberta. He drove through to Red Deer river and wintered there but as he did not like the country in the sum- mer he journeyed down into Montana and fin- ally located near Rosebud where he engaged in horse raising. Later he retired from this business and went to handling sheep. In the summer of 1898, he assisted to take seven thousand sheep to Nebraska for Southworth & Swift. Also he spent some time in the em- ployment of cowboy and finally in 1905, he opened a livery stable in Rosebud in partner- ship with H. Tilleson and since then he has been identified with this work. On June 5, 1906, Mr. Brooks was appointed deputy sher- iff of Rosebud county and he is discharging the duties of this office in connection with his business.

years of age. In 1872 he went to Ogden, Utah, and lived in Brigham City, where he passed a year, going to Virginia Dale. Until 1882 he lived in Colorado, and in the spring of '1883 he left the family home at Spring- dale and returned to Colorado, "punching cat- tle" for the outfit to which his father sold when leaving there. In the summer of 1892 he came to Montana with his brother, anticipating the opening of the Crow reservation. When this event occurred he made a ride of 36 hours to stake his claim, and at 4 o'clock, a. m. he se- cured his present place. One year later he discovered that he was on an allotment which he was compelled to buy.

In the public schools of Nova Scotia our subject received a good education, and at the age of sixteen he went to the plains, near Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he became a cow- boy, subsequently going to California and en- gaging in mining. He then continued to fol- low prospecting and mining all over the west, being one of four who were the first white men to prospect in San Juan and Gunnison counties, Colorado. He came to Rimini, Montana, in 1888, and engaged in mining, subsequently prospecting three years. Having been at Ju- dith Basin, he came to Whitehall, Montana, where he worked for W. J. Clark on the Gold- en Sunlight group of mines. To his present location he came in 1896, and purchased a squatter's right. On the Rosebud he now has 160 acres of excellent land under irrigation, and has been successful in growing all varie- ties of fine fruit.

PETER BONEFIELD, the owner of a large and valuable ranch about one mile up the river from Capitol, is an excellent illustra- tion of one who came to the new country, took hold with his hands, and despite all the con- trary circumstances, held on and kept up the
struggle until success, liberal and sure, came to him as the result of his faithfulness in the lines in which he wrought. Few men have the material in them to make excellent pioneers, and still a fewer proportion of that worthy class have in addition to the fearlessness and stability necessary to open the country, the faculty of gaining financially so that they be- come leaders in the country where they strove to open it to settlement. Mr. Bonefield has ac- complished both of these undertakings and is today one of the substantial citizens of Custer county with an abundance which he has ac- cumulated from the farm and the stock busi- ness, which he has prosecuted with vigor and steadfastness since the days when he first cast his lot in Montana.
In Schleswig. Germany, May 11, 1849. Peter Bonefield was born, being the son of Peter and Christina (Markosen) Bonefield, also natives of that place and who followed farming there until their death. Our subject received a good education from the public schools and then came to this country, land- ing in Ohio in 1869. He worked for wages there one year and in 1870 went to Michigan and in the fall of that year visited Chicago. A short time after coming to that metropolis he journeyed on to St. Louis where he spent the winter and spring. The next spring he took boat up the Missouri to Sioux City and worked there that summer. Then he went to South Dakota and took a homestead in Union county, remaining there until 1885. In that year he came to Custer county, driving over- land and bringing a small band of stock with him. It was a two months' trip and he finally selected the place where he now lives, taking it by squatter's right and later by homestead. In the winter of 1886 seventy-five per cent of the stock through Montana was killed by the cold, but as our subject had provided for his and kept them in touch all winter, he lost almost none at all. This was rare good for- tune, resulting from the foresight and un-

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
tiring care of Mr. Bonefield and his start in cattle assisted him very much as stock was scarce after that memorable winter. He soon added more land by purchase and has contin- ued so to do until he has now a fine, large ranch ยท well cultivated and improved besides owning large bands of cattle and horses.
In 1873 occurred the marriage of Mr. Bonefield and Miss Julia Larson, the daughter of Lars Larson, a native of Norway. Mrs. Bonefield was born in Norway, also, and came with her parents to this country when five years old. They settled first in Wisconsin and later removed to South Dakota. The children born to this marriage are named as follows: Chris- tena, the wife of John Feegan, dwelling near ; Louise, deceased; Betsy, the wife of George Davis; Peter, at home; George, at home; the above being all born in South Dakota, while the balance are native Montanans; Edward, Clara, Lisa, Tina, and Lars.
When Mr. Bonefield came here he had to haul all his supplies from Dickson, one hun- dred and fifty miles distant. This entailed much hard labor and not until the railroad reached Belle Fourche, did this hardship cease. In those days many and hard were the strug- gles, but all were overcome and now in the satisfaction of having won the day, and of having a fine competence for the golden days of life that come on, Mr. Bonefield may rest secure in the love of his own and the es- teem of his friends enjoy that which his labor has provided.
LEWIS C. PIPER, an extensive wool grower and leading citizen of the Yellowstone valley, residing six miles south of Absarokee, Carbon county, at the mouth of Butcher Creek, on East Rosebud, is a native of the Pine Tree State, having been born at Belfast, August 30, 1867. His father, Charles A., a native of the same place, was a farmer, butcher and stock
dealer, selling to the Boston markets. He was a prominent and well-to-do man, and a pa- triotic citizen. He was fond of horses, and man- ifested enthusiastic interest in fairs and other expositions. The mother, Endora L. (Pitcher) Piper, is a native of Maine, and is still living in Belfast.
Until he was twenty years of age our sub- ject, reared in Maine, attended the public schools and secured an excellent business edu- cation. Leaving the old New England home, he headed for Billings, Montana, and at first went to work on the Musselshell river. Thence he went to White Sulphur Springs, remaining ten years, and during three years of this period he conducted the Springs Dairy. Disposing of the dairy property, he engaged in the cattle industry, coming to Carbon county in 1897. Here he purchased cattle and settled on a ranch where he now lives. He owns 640 acres of land, mainly under irrigation, and it is as good an improved farm as there is in Carbon county. in 1900 he purchased sheep and sold cattle. At present he is extensively engaged in the sheep business.
In 1902 our subject was married to Cora Reynolds, a native of Washington county, Maine, where she was reared and educated. In 1889, she came to White Sulphur Springs. Her father, Josiah E., was a native of Denns- ville, Maine; her mother, Margaretta (Ander- son) Reynolds, was born on the Atlantic ocean, while her people were en route from Scotland to America. Mrs. Piper has been married be- fore, and has one boy. Wallace Harriman.
WALTER M. HOPPE resides at Cinna- bar, Montana, and has the important distinc- tion of being the first white child born in what is now the state of Montana so far as is known. His parents, Hugo J. and Mary (Gee) Hoppe, located in Virginia City in very early
