Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1905-09-22

The Society of Pioneers of Fergus
county was successfully launched
Wednesday evening, and if the sub
sequent meetings of the organization
are as interesting as the initial one,
it will have a most successful career.
There were present men from various
parts of the county, and each one ap-
peared to feel just as keen an interest
in the matter as did those who con.
ceived the idea and signed the call
for the meeting. In all, fifty-three
men signed the roll, and the society
began it's existence with that number
of members, which has already been
increased, and additions will be re.
ceived daily for some time to come.
The meeting was held at the court
house and was called to order at
o'clock by Frank E. Smith, who was
the originator of the plan for forming
this society. John p. Barnes was
elected temporary chairman and Roy
E. Ayers temporary secretary. The
call was then read, and the business
was proceeded with.
F. E. Smith stated that at a pre-
liminary meeting held to arrange fol
this one, a committee was appointed
to prepare a draft of a proposed con
stitution, which he, as chairman, ther
read.

.ated some excitement. The next fall
G. Lennart and Gene Irvine started up
Armel's creek, and sunk some shafts
and also brought a ditch around. Re-
turning to Maiden, Mr.. Wasson said
it was during 1924 as lively a camp
for its size as any in Montana. There
were q saloons there, and though
whisky was 25 cents a throw. they
all made money. Fred Duncan was
the first postmaster, and the mail was
taken in from Lewistown via Magin-
mis-. Andersonville was first at the
mouth of Alpine gulch, where Pike
Landusky' and Joe Hamilton had a
little store. Georgetown, which was
to be the Chicago of eastern Montana,
was near Merryfield's ranch. A post
office was established at Andersonville
through the efforts of Major Maginnis
in the spring of 1888.
David Hilger being called upon to
tell about the sheep industry in the
early days, said he would speak on
that subject at some other time. He
simply wanted now to commend the
plan of forming this society. Fergus
was remarkable for the number OF
Montana pioneers who had settled in
it. coming from various parts of the
state. chiefly from the vicinity of Hell
ena, where they were first engaged
in mining.
Harry T. Kendall Speaks.
Harry T. Kendall, the original own
er of the Kendall mine, and for whom
| the camp of Kendall is named, was
called upon, and in responding made 8
brief but interesting talk. in which
he told of Lewistown as it was wher
he first saw it, when he was a mere
boy. The first white man he met here
was Mr.. Bowles. The breeds were

deposit them at the library. This
would preserve them, and would form
the nucleus Of a very interesting col.
lection.
On motion of R. Won TObel the secre-
tarN was instructed to procure blank
books, ETC., for the accumulation and
preservation of historical data.
w. A. Hedges Speaks.
w. A. Hedges, of Yale. speaker OF
the house of representatives at the
last session of the legislature. ex-
pressed his great pleasure at meeting
with the Fergus pioneers. The or
ganization of this society met with
his warmest approval, Such men as
Rein Anderson, who was member
of the famous Stuart party, represent
ed class that made history In the
early days. He saw present, too,
man whom he remembered in Helena
when the speaker was youngster.
That man was Vice President Joseph
! C.. Walker. who was sheriff of Lewis
and Clark county when Judge Wade
was on the bench, and who conducted
the first legal execution ever held in
that county, There were scores OF
such men in Fergus, and the time
was auspicious for forming this soci-
ETY.. They ought TO have member
ship of from 900 TO 900, Mr.. Hedges
stated that he came TO Fergus in 1881,
and there were many in the section
where he settled when he arrived.
The object was TO perpetuate the
name and deeds of the men who carved
out this little Inland Empire, and made
it one of the splendid portions of the
great state of Montana. He wanted
to see provision made for the accumu.
lation and preservation Of historical
data along the lines suggested by the
motion of Mr.. Won Tobel.
