Hill and Hovis familes from Missouri to Beaverhead CO. MT

David N. Bollinger — 25 Oct 2001 4:40:47 GMT

About 1885 Emerson Hill and his wife Margaret (Bess) Hill and Wm. Melichi Hovis and his wife Rose Anne (Bess) Hovis left Madison Co. Missouri for Montana.

Rose Anne and Margaret (Bess) were the sisters to my g-g-grandmother Melaney "Lane" (Bess) Hovis. I would like to find desendants of these ladies.

Emerson Hill owned a "General Merghandise" store in Red Rock, MT. Where is this town now? Is it a ghost town? What County was it in?

The Wm. Melichi Hovis family must have moved to or near Dillon MT. These ladies would send my g-g-grandmother pictures in the mail. The portraits were taken at "H.D. Weenink" photo studio, Dillon MT.

Emerson Hill and Margaret had a daughter named Maude.

Rose Anne and Wm. Melichi Hovis had a dauhgter named Alice, who may have married a Marcum about 1897, and had a daughter named Ruth Gwendolene Marcum born July 21, 1898. (This info. is from a old photo sent to my g-g-grandmother).

Is there any 1900 census records for Beaverhead Co. on line?

Please, folks I would like some help on this,

Mrs. Smith and her daughter Mrs. Porch, came about a month ago, to visit her daughter and family. She has visited here several times and has made many friends. She was a devoted Christian and has been a member of the Methodist church since a girl, and had everything in readiness for her departure.

Funeral services were conducted at the home Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. C. L. Walker.

Henry Weenink - Dillon, Montana

charlott — 6 Apr 2005 1:54:41 GMT

Looking for information on Mr. Weenink. He may possibly have been a photographer by profession, but don't know for certain. I have some family photos that was taken by a photographer named Weenink in probably Wisconsin. However, one of the woman that we have photographs of mentioned in her diary that after she left Arlington, Oregon on a trip right in about 1902 she was headed to Dillon, Montana. I find it very interesting that many years prior she had had pictures taken by a Weenink, then planned to stop in Dillon on her return east, when to the best of my knowledge there was no family residining there. I have never come across the name Weenink in my genealogy work, however, there might be a connection through his wife, whom I do not know who she was. Any information on the Weenink family would be appreciated.

DOUTHWAITE in Beaverhead Montana

louise1607 — 30 Jun 2004 10:34:59 GMT

Hi - I'm hoping someone stateside may be able to help me with this as I am in the UK & don't know where to start with US records.
I am searching info on the death of an Alfred Richard DOUTHWAITE, born 1855 Islington, London, England. According to our family bible, it says, mysteriously, 'he died in Chicago 17 April 1883 in the times of Al Capone'. But I have had no way of proving that - it could just be family folklore!! He would have been 28.

I found him on the 1880 census in Glendale, Beaverhead, Montana, working as a printer. He appeared to be residing with a Leigh R Freeman who I believe was the editor on the paper for which my relative worked. Would anybody please be able to point me in the direction for further research, as I'm longing to find out what happened to him and about his live in Beaverhead.. Would there be anywhere I could find a death certificate or info and is there anywhere I might find an inquest or newspaper report about his demise?
Any info at all would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

I am trying to find out when and where Henry H McClain/McClane died. His wife, Kate Hawley McClain is buried at Beaverhead and he was married to her in Beaverhead, but they lived in Lemhi, ID. I had found their marriage license, but I cannot find a record of Henry H before 1870 (he was 21 on a census and living with the George Yearian. I would guess he is also buried in Beaverhead, MT but I have no proof.

Beaverhead Countian Lambert ELIEL visits Helena; 1888 news online

theoldentimes — 28 May 2005 7:47:39 GMT

Hi,

I just posted an old newspaper article reporting the names of visitors to Helena, Montana.

Surnames mentioned include the following: FAY, LATHROP, ELIEL, WARNER, KANOUSE, VAUGHN, GREDELL, McKINE, and HODSON.

Among these, Lambert ELIEL, a merchant, hailed from Dillon in Townsend Co.; the remaining visitors were from elsewhere in MT or from other states.

This was scanned from an original issue (NOT microfilm!) of the The Helena Daily Herald newspaper (Lewis & Clark County, MT) dated April 24, 1888, and you can see it online here:

Bannack -1860's

Myrna Aldrich — 12 Nov 2003 8:19:11 GMT

Hi - My great-great-grandfather was "B.B." BURCHETT (Burr Benjamin Burchett). He brought his wife & 10 children from Iowa to Bannack, arriving in the Fall of 1862. In December 1862 his wife delivered another son, supposedly the first "white" child to be born in what became the Montana Territory. His "15 minutes of fame" was when he was elected Judge of the Miners Court in May 1863, at the same meeting where Henry Plummer was elected Sheriff. They stayed in Montana until about 1867. He and his grown sons (including Mahlon Wilson Burchett, my great-grandfather) ran or worked with a freight line in the area. He may also have staked a mining claim; family legend says he had something to do with developing Helena. I have found a few minor references to B.B. Burchett in materials on the Internet, mainly at the "vigilante" site. Does anyone know of anything you can share about B.B. Burchett or his family? Or of any likely sources, published or otherwise? If anyone happens to know the circumstances of their arrival (which wagon train, which route, or with whom???) that also would be appreciated. Anything you might tell me would be gratefully received.

HORSE BUYER DIES FROM MULE'S KICK
Dillon, Oct. 31. --- W.A. Clark, horse buyer and manager of the Dillon Horse Sales company for the past year, died Monday night at Salmon, Idaho, of injuries sustained when a mule kicked him in the head. He lived only a few hours after the accident. The body was brought to Dillon last night by H.M. Brundage and will be shipped to Livingston for interment.

Mr. Clark had resided in Dillon for the past two years and had become prominent as a buyer of livestock, particularly horses. He left for Salmon last week, and Monday morning was engaged in inspecting several head of mules which he had purchased. One of them, without warning, kicked with vicious force, the blow fracturing Mr. Clark's kkull.

He was 62 years of age and was a native of Missouri. He made his home in Livingston for several years. A son, George, who is attending school in Helena, arrived yesterday to take charge of the body. A daughter, Amber Clark, resides in Seattle.

Martin R. Quigley

PHOBEE — 2 Mar 2003 5:21:35 GMT

In 1900, Martin R. Quigley is listed in the Federal Census, County of Beaverhead, Fox Precinct. He lists his age as 33 years old, born in Ireland. Martin left the Fulton, Kansas area sometime prior to 1900 and ventured to Montana, where he eventually lived his life.

In the 1910 Federal Census, he is listed in the County of Beaverhead, Jackson Township, married to Marguerite, age 37 years old, born in Kansas; and they have two children, Ralph, age 8 years and Catherine, age 5 years. Both children are listed as being born in Montana.

In the 1920 Federal Census, Martin is listed in Beaverhead County, Jackson Township, age 58 years, along with his wife Margaret, age 46 years and a daughter Josephine, age 15 years. I believe Josephine and Catherine are probably one in the same. In 1920 Federal Census, Ralph Quigley is listed in Beaverhead County, Wisdom Township (son of Martin and Margaret).

Martin's parents were Patrick and Bridget (also used the name of Mary) Quigley, who imigrated from Ireland in 1869. They settled in Fulton, Bourbon County, Kansas sometime around 1870. Patrick died sometime between the 1875 State Census and the 1880 Federal Census, as Bridget is shown in the 1880 census as a widow, along with Martin, her son.

In 1907 there is a land grant for Martin R. Quigley, of 160 acres. In 1926 there is another land grant for Martin R. Quigley for 320 acres. Maggie Quigley is issued a land grant in 1913 for 320 acres.

Sometime after 1926, Martin Quigley succumbs and his wife takes over the land acquisitions. I know that Ralph Quigley marries. Ralph Quigley was born January 17, 1902 in Montana and died December 14, 1987, in Dillon, Beaverhead, Montana.

Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. I know that Martin was a livestock farmer.

LEE, "Whiskey Jiim" -- Lone Survivor of Chinese Village Dies, 1938

volunteerMT — 12 Apr 2004 5:54:09 GMT

"Helena Independent"
12 Jan 1938 Edition

LONE SURVIVOR OF CHINESE VILLAGE AT DILLON PASSES---Dillon, Jan. 11.---"Whiskey Jim" Lee, last member of Dillon's once thriving Chinese colony, was found dead yesterday in his cabin by Charles Nelson, chief of police. When the aged Chinese failed to appear Sunday, neighbors called Nelson, who found him dead in his bed.

Known to everybody, "Whiskey Jim" was seen daily on the streets of Dillon up until the day of his death. When he first came to Dillon, some 25 years ago, Jim Lee was a prosperous, well-dressed Chinaman bent on the important mission of sending the bodies of six departed Chinamen back to the old country.

When his task was finished, Jim decided to stay in the Dillon Chinese settlement, which at that time was composed largely of Chinese, who had drifted away from Virginia City after the gold rush days. And in the succeeding years, he saw his countrymen drop by the wayside until he became the lone resident of Dillon's Chinatown.

Old-timers declare his nickname, "Whiskey Jim" was earned as the result of his continual visits to the wholesale liquor warehouse where he insisted on sampling the various whiskey barrels before he bought. Clerks began calling him "Whiskey Jim" because of sampling methods and the name stuck.

NOTE: This death notice is provided as a courtesy only; I am not related to, nor do I have knowledge of, this individual's family.
