I know my ggfather had run the presses on the Miner, and left the state in 1913 for Saskatchewan. I didn't know when he'd arrived, or how young he was. My father remembers the family Brown having a ranch or farm just outside Butte, which he visited as a kid (he was born in 1939). That ranch/farm may have been the one owned by my 2nd greatgrandfather, father of the person for whom I am searching. My gfather (Harley A. Brown) was born in 1909, in Butte so, I now know - based on my step-mom's single comment - that Harley Edgar lived in Montana between 1900 and 1913; he may have lived their prior to 1900, but this one is concrete - the school opened in 1900, so I know he WAS there in the first decade of the century. Does anyone know of, or have a list of students attending the school in the years between 1900-1908? If I can find his years of attendance, I may be able to have records located, or at least I'd have something firm with which to work. - Thanks -
