As I Remember
More stories of Montana's pioneers from the days of the first pioneers.
An Uncommon Journey
Based on the memoir of Stephen Norton Van Blaricom, An Uncommon Journey details the origins of Dawson County, Montana, in the late 1800s. The oldest of nine children, Van Blaricom left home at the age of thirteen and worked for many of northeastern Montana's earliest ranches. After working for the Northern Pacific Railroad, he married Maud Griselle, one of the first female telegraphers for the Northern Pacific. More than a family history, An Uncommon Journey tells the personal stories of many of the first settlers of this last West: buffalo hunters, cattlemen, train drivers, early tradesmen, saloonkeepers, scallywags, and lawmen. This is the story of many of the long-forgotten first settlers of old Dawson County and how they met the challenges of a country that was then primitive and remote at its best and deadly at its worst. For all of them it was, indeed, An Uncommon Journey.
We Would Remember
The Mollat family emigrated from Switzerland & settled in Ohio.
Descendants of Jacob Byler and Nancy Kauffman (Byler).
Jacob Beiler (d.1772) and his son, Christopher, emigrated from Switzerland to Philadelphia in 1737. They settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Jacob Byler (1799-1867), a great-grandson, married Nancy Kauffman and lived in Mifflin and Lawrence Counties, Pennsylvania. Descendants lived in Pennsylvania, the Midwest, Delaware and elsewhere.
The Beachy Family
Peter Beachy (1725-1805) and his family immigrated from Switzerland to Baltimore County, Maryland before 1768, and in 1783 moved to Somerset (then Bedford) County, Pennsylvania. Descendants (many were old Amish, many were Mennonites) lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and elsewhere. Some immigrated to Ontario and else- where in Canada.
