Your paternal grandfather is Harley Allen, not Albert. My understanding is that Harley Edgar was born in Ohio. I am almost positive that I saw this in a death notice. I am looking for H.A.'s passport which I have carefully filed away (so carefully that I can't find it) which may have confirmation of this. H.E. had a brother in Long Beach, and a wife Hazel. They both died in the 70's. I'm sorry I have no information on H.E.'s life in Butte. I also mentioned in the message that you didn't get that you would be welcome guests if you plan a visit to this region. Will let you know of any info when I find the passport. Good luck. Ray

LORIN HINCHCLIFF, 22, KILLED IN HEAD-ON COLLISION NEAR GLASCOW. GLASCOW, Aug. 13 -- (AP) -- Lorin Hinchcliff, 22, of Butte, is dead and two of his companions are in a hospital here as a result of a head-on collision of trucks 14 miles southeast of Glascow on the Fort Peck highway Saturday night. The crash occurred as Hinchcliff turned out to avoid striking a stalled machine. His truck colided with an oncoming vehicle. Hinchcliff, who was employed at the Fort Peck dam project, was injured internally. He died in a hospital here yesterday. His injured companions are William Whitlaw and Keith Finley. Ernest Gordon, driver of the stalled machine, which had run out of gasoline, suffered three fractures of his leg when he was struck by flying debris from the trucks. Hinchcliff was born in Butte and had made his home here all his life. He resided at 3140 Wharton avenue. He was a painter by trade and had completed his apprenticeship at the Ellis Paint company. In company with his father, he left Butte about a month or six weeks ago to work at the dam site. Besides his father, he is survived by his widow, Mrs. Audrey Hinchcliff; a two-year old daughter, Shirley; a brother, Frank Hinchcliff; a sister, Gertrude Hinchcliff; three uncles, E.A. Hinchcliff, John Hipp and Ben Hipp, and an aunt, Mrs. Anna Kinney, all of Butte. ____________________ NOTE: This transcription provided as a courtesy only; I am not related to, nor do I have any knowledge of the Hinchcliff family.

Subject: EDWARD HICKEY 1841-1921 There is a EDWARD HICKEY born 1841, died 1921 who is buried in St. Patrick Cem in Silver Bow, Montana. Would anyone know anything about this Edward Hickey? I am searching for an Edward Hickey born circa 1846 in Ireland (according to census record) who married Mary Adaline Comstock Hickey between 1865-1870 in either Arkansas or Tennessee. They were in the 1870 St. Francis Co., Arkansas census. I don't know what became of them after that. I'm just searching for any Edward Hickey I can find in the hope that I will find this Edward and Mary Adaline Hickey. Judy Sanders

Are the records for the Anaconda copper mine readily available somewhere? Does anyone do look-ups in those? If so, would that angel look for John M. RIEHM and tell me what they find? He's not in the 1920 Census in Montana (or anywhere else!) as far as I can tell and I'm getting very frustrated. Thanks! Joann searching for John M. RIEHM in Butte, MT., ca 1910-1940.
