Rowe, had with a rattlesnake during a trip to Nebraska City. Three years later, in 1910, my grandfather filed on a homestead in central Montana, where there was an abundance of rattlesnakes, and moved his family there in 1913. Several years later one of his sons was bitten on the finger by a rattler near the family homestead, but fortunately survived the extremely traumatic and agonizing experience.
