Shuler, M. B. of Hot Springs, MT, c. 1930

CarterD1207 — 14 Jan 2008 12:44:35 GMT

I was pleased to come across a distant relative of mine, Martin Banes Shuler, living in Hot Springs, Montana, in 1930. I thought he had perished before 1920 in Tulsa Co., Oklahoma. M.B. Shuler was a blacksmith (owned his own shop) and was a widower, she died many years before. His sons, Evan & Everett (twins), were back in Oklahoma - I'm fairly certain. Does anyone have historical information that might have mention of MB Shuler? i.e. directory, newspaper clippings? I have not found him in the Montana Death Index, though he was listed as being 80 years old in 1930 - he was more like 75-76. Thanks!

Posted here:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nancyelder/montana....

Book: "Settlers and Sodbusters:"
the bicentennial project of the Hot Springs Historical Society.
Mission Valley News, 1976.
page 14
Extracted from section "Lonepine Church History by Mrs. W. W. Von Segen"
" The first Sunday School and church services in the Little Bitter Root
Valley were held in a hall just north of the Headquarters Hotel in what
was known as Pineville in the fall of 1910. The first Minister was M.
P. Elder, who homesteaded near Lonepine. ... "
"The first Sunday School was started in the Lonepine community in the Dry Creek schoolhouse in the fall of 1911, with Mr. Swetland as
superintendent, and Mr. Elder preached there from time to time. ..."

This week I sent an ELDER application/ pedigree chart and documents
to the "Early Settlers of Montana" project.
I don't have a land record, tho.

Caza-Amiot Family of Canada

Deanna Davis — 8 Aug 2003 11:55:07 GMT

I am searching for information on Joseph Caza born May 1839 in St Anicet Quebec, his wife Mary Philomene Amiot born Feb 15 1939 in Monteral. Both died in Plains Montana.
They were the parents of:
Louisa Caza May 1862 New Hampshire d June 1951 Washington
Codelia Caza 1864 New Hampshire
Alphoneus Caza died 1880 California
Joseph Edward Cazab December 02, 1866 St Anicet Quebec d October 09, 1953 Oregon
Evena Caza March 1870
Amelia Caza b August 04, 1873 d July 21, 1963 Montana
Alonzo Caza b March 1875 Nevada
Georgia Caza b February 1877 California d April 21, 1908 Montana
Zin Amob Caza b March 09, 1879 California d April 14, 1964 Montana

Joseph was Naturalized in Nevada County California in Sept 1867 although his daughter Louisa claims 1872 as her immigration date. It appears that Joseph came to California,(with his wife and children in Census record) left California, returning to St Anicet(1871 Census Record). Had more children in the State of Nevada, returning to California again before residing in Plains Montana to his death in 1912.
At this point I am still searching for his parents and lineage.
Thank You

Bonner County ID Look-ups Offer

erro_berg — 1 Mar 2003 6:25:59 GMT

I have found many instances where a Sanders County resident got married, died, buried, etc in Bonner County ID. This might be a good tip to find some of those "missing" relatives out there. A good place to start is the Western States Marriage Records Index at: http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/fhc/gbsearch.htm

I will be in Bonner County on Monday, March 3, 2003 and would be happy to obtain records from the Recorders Office while I am there. I would just need to be reimbursed for any fees the Recorder charges me for copies. If anyone would like me to look up records for them, please send me an email directly with as much detail as possible about the record you want. I just ask that no one send me on wild goose chases or give me a whole laundry list. If people are interested, I may consider doing this again sometime in the future.

Sanders County Book

Ann Miller — 6 May 2002 8:25:09 GMT

Ed,
Just got back from a long vacation and saw your query and I got a chuckle from it. Is this book for real--
several boxes of discs; bought five rolls of census film and I don't know how many rolls of stamps, (not counting the film reader and computor). Yes, this book is for real. I have over 1,000 pages compiled so far divided into towns, mainly on settlers between 1884 - 1920. Information taken from public records, newspapers and some from relatives. But this is a good question to ask and I can refer you to the librarian in Thompson Falls and also to the Clerk and Recorder in the Court house.
For some reason my e-mail server can not access blackfoot.com. I can receive your messages but not sent them out. If you want to call 1-208-263-7916 .
