Bon Tells Of Mrs. Neuman


sit with Mrs. Alfred Neuman, o
sure shot Annie" as she wa
called by the oldtimers in TIL
Yak region. Annie is one Of tn:
many worthwhile characters VIII
helped to make Montana what j
is today. Now an elderly woman
she came TO Montana at the age
of four years The sturdy mother
before her was one OF the few sur
vivors Of tae terrible Minnesota
massacre.
Annie. the mother Of II child
rem 40 OF whom are living was
left while yet q young woman,
with the sole support of her large
family and with only $3.50 in her
purse.
Did Annie sit down and whine
about her tough luck? She did
mott She wasn't afraid of life nor
of the experiences it might bring.
She grabbed up q rifle and shot
a supply OF meat She planted 4
garden and othe, crops. She made
fences She built a cabin. She
trapped. She acquired cattle. hor-
ses and sheep. She frightened
mountain lions away from her
children. She defended her live
stock against coyotes, lions, AMI
bear (She has killed more bear
than most Of US have SEEM (
And with all these duties a Id
responsibilities, Annie found time
to train her sons and daughters
to become good citizens, to assist
needy neighbors. 10 nurse the sick,
to comfort the dying, to read
sound literature. TO keep abreast
of the times, TO study bird life. 70 I
raise flowers. True, Annie was too I
busy to trot to church every time
the bell rang and we can't fea-
ture her as contracting any stiff
ness from kneeling on hard floors
But, she has done better than that
as she has devoted a long life {
time to consistently following the T
example of the one who went '
about doing good" We are sure L
that when Annie closes the last b
chapter she will hear a gentle a
voice say: annie, your aim in I
life was always for good. You n
never missed your target. You're b
lone a swell job. Enter in and n
-est."
Hats off in admiration of sure h
not Annie" Another one of the r
keen eyed. heroic
of the early pioneer type. L
