Not only does she describe the town and living conditions, she also establishes Deidescheimer as the person laying out the town. This fits with the street names reflecting California sites and one street even being named California.Granitecountyhistoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375812580498843659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821967393267481685.post-48361988807195314052013-02-11T09:23:06.110-08:002013-02-11T09:23:06.110-08:00In Philipsburg itself I'm not sure any pioneer...In Philipsburg itself I'm not sure any pioneers of 1867 were left by 1905. The town had been abandoned except for 3 people in 1869 when the mill briefly closed. Some of the 1867 pioneers, like William Graham and Hector Horton, returned to town in the 1870's but those two gents were dead by 1905. Can only think of one western Montanan alive in 1905 who we can be certain knew Kate Perry in her Philipsburg days - Granville Stuart. If she got any response to her letter he would have been the most likely author.tudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15587109481904962950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821967393267481685.post-80665006602720429892013-02-10T14:30:01.368-08:002013-02-10T14:30:01.368-08:00Such a riveting story...I'm left wanting to kn...Such a riveting story...I'm left wanting to know more about this woman's life. I wonder if anyone was left in Philipsburg who remembered her when she wrote. Thanks for honoring her memory by sharing this research!<br />Kathy Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904133199426860270noreply@blogger.com
