Hello List, and Hello Mom. For the folks on the list, my Mother and Father
just went on-line so I am going to copy them on this post. I may have found
my "Brick wall". I have located a landowner John J. Cameron in Fergus Co.
Montana. There are a couple of questions, however. This John received 160
acres in a Land Grant in 1907 (10 years after MN). John J. in Minnesota had
already done that and had lost it to the Bank. I thought that the Land Grant
was a one time deal. Does anybody know different? John J. in Montana also
purchased 120 more acres CASH in 1915. He would have been 71 when he made
this purchase. His oldest son was already in ND. I can't find Frank C. (or
John Jr., he was in 1885) and the other children (that I know of) were the 2
Daughters and they married and went to CA. and MN. Why would John J. Cameron
buy farmland at 71? Maybe he was a REAL TOUGH GUY. I will find out more
about this person and let everybody in on it. Thanks, Dean
