Unfortunately my Grandfather Haun passed away last summer and my Grandmother Haun passed away last week. It is neat to know that she can still tell me stories without being here. Thank You! |

| Comments: | I was demonstrating the Internet to my (almost) 97-year-old Mother, who now resides in Tacoma, Washington, and went
to Google and searched for: "Roy, MT" + "Peder Hanson" who was my Grandfather, (Mom's Father), who at one time owned several businesses in Roy, and is referred to in the page: "THE HISTORY OF ROY, MONTANA, 1913-1922 FROM TRADING POST TO TOWN" http://www.rootsweb.com/~mtfergus/homestead/old/roy01.htm . Mom, who actually has an email account is trying to write a book about her early days, and I have (scanned) graphics of the family taken in depression-era Roy. If you have interest in any of these suggestions, please write, otherwise, thanks for your work, it was fun to find Grandpa mentioned, but in all honesty, the one line given to our Family hardly represents their influence on early Roy. Among other activities, he owned the General Store, the Bank, and the wholesale lumber yard was owned by his brother, I think. Many of the farmers owed Grandpa money just before the depression, and afterwards, the government said they only had to pay back ten cents on the dollar, and of those, my family history says that Peder tore up the remaining notes, as they were all friends and he couldn't foreclose on friends! Of the Hanson Children who grew up in Roy, 4 are still living, and two have passed, all either in their late-80's or 90's. Regards, John "Dobe" Hartman |

Because of the 17 county drought in 1956 I returned to Minneapolis and started working for the Telephone Company. I returned, when Don passed away in February 1969 for 6 weeks to help Margurite with the ranch.
In 1956 I went prospecting in the Judith Mountains with Lynn Phillips and another person for a month and what an experience we had looking for uranium. Great memories! I would appreciate any information as how or where to purchase a book and if it is still available. I would appreciate any help. I would also appreciate any information as to Betty Distad telephone number, postal address or e-mail address. Great reading!!!! |

| Comments: | Thank you for posting the pages on the net. I have been looking for information on Frank and Eva Spoon for some time and a fellow researcher has just sent me this URL. Eva Sullivan was my great grandmother. The book has memtioned Frank Sullivan, my grandfather. The book itself - is there any copies still for sale? I live in Alberta Canada and am planning a visit to Montana to see the area where Eva and Frank homesteaded. Any assistance you an give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again, Sharon Sullivan-Olsen |

| Comments: | This last summer I purchased a home built by Irving Gill. The first owners of the house in 1909 were Ervin W. Laraway and Nathaniel T. Smith after they had sold their ranch in Roy and arrived in San Diego, California. I would very much appreciate if anyone could send along a digital photograph of either of these men (or their cars). Any further biographical information would help too. Thanks from San Diego! |

| Comments: | Thank you for puting together this information. You did a
great job. I lived on a homestead with my parents 17 miles east of Roy. We left there in 1931 and moved to Lewistown. Have lived in Seattle since WW2. Still visit Lewistown every year and also Roy this summer. Have a sister (Edith Distad) and two cousins (Helen Bryson and Ann Morgan) in Lewistown. It is a great country to be from. One of the bars in Roy was formally the country school house where I went to school, and was moved to Roy. The small church next to a larger one in the south end of Roy was the Waverly Church moved from the hill just east of our homestead. I remember going to church there. My father did a lot on work helping to build it. Roy looked pretty good when we were there in July. God bless, Don Hull |
