James William Kirk was born 1862 at Oregon City, Oregon.
His wife was Matty Chrisman. Children: Clarence, Ralph,
Edith, Elsie and another daughter.
In 1905 he lost his left leg, which did not slow him down any.
In 1913, at 51, he came to north central Montana and homestead by the Canadian line. In the 20's he sold the
farm, returned to live with his son, returning in 1928.
From 1928 to his death in 1952, he lived with the Wicks
family, who had bought his land. He is buried in Harve,
Montana by my grandparents and thier two infant sons.
Granddad Kirk was thought of a family member by the
family.
I would like to return a scrap book made by grandmother
for "Granddad" Kirk. It still contains pictures of the Currin
family, George, Elsie, Pearl and Ivan.
There are a few clippings also, and cards.
