FIRST WHITE WOMAN
IN STATE A FUGITIVE
MRS. HENRY MILLER ESCAPED
FROM RELATIVES IN UTAH
TO JOIN HUSBAND.

The first white woman to take I'M
a residence in Montana was Mrs. Hen
ry Miller, fugitive from Utah.
whence her husband had fled some
time before to escape the wrath Of
her Mormon relatives. The Millers
were married at Ogden in 1854, but
the husband incurred the enmity of
the brides people. He fled to Fort
Hall, Idaho, in fear of violence at
their hands.
Mrs. Miller's relatives tried to per-
suade her to become the spiritual wife
OF an old Mormon who already had
three wives, but she refused her con-
sent. She was told, according to her
story, that she would never see her
husband again and that he would be
killed it he appeared. Through friends
IN Utah, Miller succeeded in commu-
nicating with his wife and aided her
IN planning her escape. She Joined
him at Fort Hall.
A few days after the reunion of the
couple, DR.. Lansdale, agent for the
Flatheads and the Pend d'Oreilles. on
his way back from Salt Lake to
Jocko, Montana, stopped at Fort Hall
and engeged Miller and his wife to 90
to Jocko to keep house for him.
Thus Mrs. Miller became the first
white woman to make her home in
what was to be Montana. She and
her husband stayed at Jocko for one
year, when the two went to Walla
