Take  me  back   to  old  Montana, 
Where   there's  plenty  room  and  air; 
Where   there's   Cottonwood  an'   pine   trees, 
Bitter  root  and  prickly  pear; 
Where   the  sun-tanned  prospector, 
Dreams  of  wealth  an'   pans  his  dirt; 
Where   the   sleepy  night-herd  puncher, 
Sings   to  steers   and  plies  his  guirt.

For  my  mother,  whose  stories  inspired 
this  project;  for  my  sister,  whose  early 
research  served  as  the  foundation;  for  my 
wife,  who  supplied  the  graphic  talents  (and 
patience,  while  I  spent  nights  poring  over 
hundred-year-old  census  records) ;  for  my 
daughter,    who  is   continuing   the   story. 

And,    in  memory  of  my  father,    and      those 
who  came  before  him.

INTRODUCTION 

The  year  1860  found: 

A  37-year-old,  German-born  chemist  named  Frederick  Moog 
mixing  liquids  in  the  wild  frontier  town  of  Denver.  He  was  a 
bartender,  worth  $75,  according  to  the  1860  census. 

Louis  Desire  Blesbois,  about  23,  in  the  French  chateau 
country  town  of  Blois;  he,  too,  would  soon  enter  the  world  of 
spirits  in  the  wine  business. 

Robert  Bell,  21,  in  Cochranton,  Pa.,  possibly  working  for 
an  oil  company. 

Scottish-born  James  Harvey,  a  31-year-old  painter  and 
carpenter,   helping  spread  the  gospel  of  the  Mormon  Church   in 

Salt  Lake  City through  labor  as  well  as  celebration  (in   one 

pageant  depicting  a  dialogue  between  founder  Joseph  Smith  and 
the  Devil,  James  portrayed  the  Devil). 

The  year  1860  also  found: 

Mary   Schneider,   a  22-year-old  German  emigre,   somewhere 


2     HARVEY/MOOG   ROOTS 

in  the  United  States,  perhaps  Albert  Lea,  Minn.,  or   Denver. 

Marie  Antoinette  Joly,  about  25,  in  Blois. 

Evaline  Wetsel,  14,  attending  school  in  Richmond  (near 
Meadville) ,  Pa. 

Martha  Ellis,  8,  in  Trevethin,  England. 

In  succeeding  years,  their  family  lines  would  intertwine 
through  marriage:  Fred  Moog  and  Mary  Schneider  (1863) ,  Louis 
Blesbois  and  Marie  Joly  (1867),  Robert  Bell  and  Evaline 
Wetsel  (1872)  and  James  Harvey  and  Martha  Ellis   (1879) . 

Others  contributing  to  the  mergers  across  more  than  three 
centuries  included  such  surnames  as  Adams,  Baucus,  Blackstone, 
Brown,  Campbell,  Chambers,  Dunlope,  Hall,  Harper,  Henderson, 
Lai,  Liggett,  McConahy,  Matthews,  Pistorius,  Richardson, 
Rohle,  Ross,  Savery,  Selkridge,  Semple,  Stabo  (Stobo) ,  Stein 
and  Woodrow. 

James  Harvey's  marriage  to  Martha  Ellis  gave  him  two 
concurrent  wives  (he  was  a  Mormon,  remember) .  However,  Martha 
and  Agnes  Burns  Harvey  (No.  1)  lived  at  separate  residences. 
"Agnes  gave  her  consent  (for  the  second  marriage)," 
writes  a  great  granddaughter  Shauna  Peterson,  "as  this  was 
necessary  before  a  man  could  take  a  second  wife  in  the  Mormon 
Church. " 

Anita  Gross,  a  descendant  of  James  and  Agnes,  says  that 
her  forebears  referred  to  Martha  as  "Auntie." 

Such  are  the  roots  of  the  Harvey/Moog  family  line. 


CHAPTER  ONE 


THE  HARVEYS:   A  Mormon   from  Scotland 


James  Harvey,  the  first  of  this  Harvey  line  to  come  to 
America,  had  Scottish 
roots  dating  back  at  least 
as  far  as  Dec.  26,  1686, 
when  church  records  show 
that  a  Glasgow  merchant 
named  Thomas  Harvie 
married  one  Agnes  Selkrig 
(Selkridge) . 

Thomas  Harvie' s  son, 
Alexander  (born  1693) , 
who  was  also  a  merchant, 
was  followed  in  succeed- 
ing generations  by  another  Harvey  crest:  Squirrels  and  nuts 


HARVEY/MOOG  ROOTS 


Alexander,  a  shoemaker  born  about  1726,  then  by  Moore  (1782- 
1852) .  Moore  married  Marian  Hall  in  Ayrshire,  the  birthplace 
of  the  Scottish  poet  Robert  Burns.  Their  son,  Alexander  (1807- 
1841),  was  the  father  of  James,  born  in  Kilmarnock,  Dec.  6, 
1829.

One   of   seven   children  (four  died   in   infancy) ,   James 

Harvey    joined  the  Mormon  Church  in  1852,   and   sailed   from 

Glasgow  for  America  in  1854. 

He   compiled  his   family's  genealogy  and  also   left  us 

a  personal  history,  which  said,  in  part: 

After  seven  weeks  sailing  arrived  at 
New  Orleans,  half  starved,  that  is  we 
could  not  eat  the  food  we  got  on  board  the 
ship.  We  then  started  up  the  Mississippi 
River  for  St.  Louis  and  arrived  after  10 
days  sailing.

The      Harveys   and   another   family  bought   a   yoke      of      cattle 

and     set     out     across  the  plains   in     a     covered     wagon.      After 

three     months   travel  we     arrived      in 

Salt   Lake  City    ...    I  was   sick   for  a     month 

with  a  gathering   in  my   leg. 

In  succeeding  years,  James  Harvey  helped  build  Mormon 
temples  in  Salt  Lake  City,  St.  George,  Moroni  and  Manti.  In 
1884,  he  made  a  mission  to  Scotland  where  he  preached  the 
gospel.    And    in    1890,    he  was  made   a   High   Priest    in   the   church. 

Of  James*    and  Agnes'    eight   children,    one James      Douglas 

Harvey was      killed      in   1912   during   the      Mexican      Revolution, 

according   to   descendant   Thora   McConkie. 

Of  James'  and  Martha's  four  children,  only  Alma  Ellis 
survived     childhood.  Church  records   show  that  on     June      20, 

1888,  James  married  Susan  Cottel,  Catherine  McDonald, 
Elizabeth   Logan,    and  Janet  Craig,    all   deceased. 

Great-granddaughter  Anita  Harvey  Gross:  "It  was  a  means 
whereby  worthy  female  members  of  the  church  received  the 
ordinance  of  eternal  marriage  to  a  worthy  male  member  of  the 
church. "

Using  the  Democratic  party  platform  as 
a  red  flag  of  political  Bolshevism,  A.  E. 
Harvey,  a  barber  and  representative  of  the 
Federation  of  Labor,  appeared  before  the 
joint  Senate  and  House  committees  consid- 
ering the  Olson  workmen's  compensation 
bill  yesterday  and  demanded  in  the  name  of 
labor. . .  that  they  pass  the  Olson  measure. 

Harvey  aviated  into  the  meeting  with 
a  copy  of  the  party  platform  waving  from 
his  hand  and  (told)  the  legislators  where 
they  were  "going  to  get  off"  ...  if  they 
didn't  live  up  to  (their)  pledges... 

Harvey's  little  bomb  only  caused  a 
ripple  of  merriment... 

His  "little  bomb"  failed  that  day.  But  he  lived  to  see 
compulsory  workmen's  compensation  become  a  routine  part  of 
American  life.  (And  he  proudly  carried  the  "Bolshevism" 
clipping  in  his  wallet  the  remaining  53  years  of  his  life.) 

In  1923,  he  made  a  Quixotic  attempt — considering  the  pop- 
ularity of  the  union  cause — for  city  commissioner  (the  equiva- 
lent of  city  councilman)  of  Salt  Lake   City.   His  war  chest?

By    A.    E.    HARVEY 

I  happened  to  meet  my  old  friend,  Joe 
Upsweep  last  Saturday.  You  remember 
me  telling  you  of  Joe.  He  is  the  old 
time   beauty  operator,    now   retired. 

He,  like  some  other  Europeans,  sorta

COSMETOLOGY  LEGISLATION 

Word  reaches  us  that  Governor  War- 
ren failed  to  sign  Assembly  Bill  2454 
passed  by  the  recent  session  of  the 
Legislature. 

We  discussed  this  bill  in  detail  in 
the  July  issue  of  "The  Cosmetologist." 
Word  of  its  pocket  veto  by  the  Gov- 
ernor did  not  reach  us  until  the  issue 
was  on  the  press. 

It  would  seem  this  is  a  case  of  too 
many  eggs  in  one  basket.  Too  many 
legislative  items  in  one  bill.  If  the 
opposition  is  strong  enough  against  one 
item  we  loose  the  whole  bill  including 
the  items  against  which  there  is  no 
opposition. 

We  suspect  the  opposition  in  this 
case  was  against  the  Full  Time  Board 
provisions.  We  know  the  Department 
Heads  were  opposed  to  this  in  another 
case.

Darling  Bruce  has  gone  and  left  you, 
He  has  left   this  world  of  care, 
He  has  gone  to  join   the  angels, 
In  a  world  that's  bright  and  fair. 

He  was  always  pure  and  lovely, 
Tender  as   a   sweet   spring  flower, 
Often  when  you  might  feel   lonely, 
He  has   cheered  you  many  an  hour. 

With  a  sweet  and  gentle  nature, 
Winning  love  from  all   around, 
And  a  smile  so  sweet  and  tender, 
Hidden  now  beneath   the  ground. 

Many  hours  you  watched  beside  him, 
As  he  lay  so  pale  and  weak, 
How  you   longed   to  see  him  smiling, 
When   the  bloom  had  left  his   cheek. 

But  I  know  you  would  not   call  him, 
Back  to  earth   to  sin  and  pain; 
For  he's  gone  where  pain  and  sickness, 
Ne'r  will   trouble  him  again. 

He  is  free  from  every  sorrow, 
From   temptation' s   chains  and  snares; 
Where  no  evil   can  befall  him, 
And  his  life  be  free  from  cares. 

Though  your  heart  was  full   of  sadness, 
At   the  loss  of  one  so  sweet, 
Yet  it   fills  your  heart  with  gladness, 
To  know  that  you   again  will   meet. 

To  know  you  will   again  behold  him, 
Sweet  and  tender  as  before, 
In  your  arms  again   to  fold  him, 
There  where  parting  is  no  more. 


Nancy  Harvey,  a

TENNIS  SQUAD 

Although  the  annual  went  to  press  before 
the  season  closed  the  tennis  squad  gave,  at 
the  time,  every  indication  of  winning  the  first 
conference  championship  ever  to  come  to  Los 
Angeles.  Six  matches  had  been  played  and,  in  each 
case,  the  Cubs  had  come  out  victorious.  Only 
once — in  the  Fullerton  match — were  the  locals 
in  danger.  In  preseason  matches  the  Cubs  tied 
U.C.L.A.'s  crack  varsity,  but  lost  to  them  at 
a  later  date.  Occidental  was  beaten  by  a  17-0 
score. 

The  first  conference  tilt,  with  Santa  Ana, 
was  won  by  a  17-0  score.  Every  match  was 
won  in  two  sets. 

Fullerton  took  the  Cubs  by  surprise  in  the 
next  match  by  coming  to  Los  Angeles  on  a 
Thursday  afternoon,  and  putting  up  a  better 
fight  than  was  expected.  Carlson  saved  the  day 
when  he  managed  to  nose  out  Fullerton's  first 
singles  to  give  a  9-8  victory  to  Los  Angeles. 

Riverside,  the  next  opponent,  was  subdued 
16-1.  Mitchell,  the  Cub's  eighth  man,  lost  to 
Riverside's  fifth  man  for  the  only  defeat  of  the 
day. 

Rain  and  an  error  in  management  kept  all 
but  two  of  Santa  Monicas  men  away  from  the 
courts  the  day  of  their  match  with  the  Cubs. 


Stoefen   and   Steiner    defeated    these   men   and 
the  rest  of  the  matches  were  won  by  default. 

L.A.J.C.'s  first  three  singles  men  are  Stoefen, 
Steiner,  and  Carlson.  None  of  these  men  has 
yet  been  defeated  and  their  points  alone  are 
sufficient  to  win  a  match.  Carter  Good  and  Phil 
Smith  form  a  strong  doubles  team,  while  Chester 
Hale  and  Clyde  Harvey  compose  the  another 
doubles  combination  almost  as  good.  Lee  Pal- 
meris  a  steady  singles  player  and  completes  an 
exceptionally  well-rounded  squad.  Earl  Fox  and 
Bob  Mitchell  also  earned  letters.  The  team  was 
managed  by  Bill  Harcos  and  coached  by  Charles 
Ellis.

The  last  I  hadaeard  of  Moms,  his  jaws  were  wrapped 
around  tie  neck  at  oae  at  his  neighbors  in  ^"hanan 

So  I  wasn't  surprised  when  my  sister  Maniyn  phoned 
to  say  that  she  and  Moms  were  moving  out  here.  It  re- 
minded me  of  young  Michael  Coneone  oeing  sent  off  to 
visit  Sicily  after  running  out  a  r. val  m  "The  Godfather. 
Blowing  town,  if  s  called.  ]/(/]/  f  —  J  -  / 
Moms  is  my  sister's  dog,  a  Slack-  and  -white  Labrador, 
mix.  lean  and  muscular.  And  fast  I  once  amed  mm  mts 
a  stopwatch  at  7.1  seconds  in  the  100- yard  ^a«» 

Moms  spent  part  of  his  early  life  imprisoned  in  a 
pound  and  perhaps  that  is  where  he  deveiooed  his  un- 
healthy dislike  for  his  fellow  male  dog. 

The  idea  of  Mams  flying  out  here  filled  me  with  terri- 
ble thoughts. 

My  aster  said  she  had  asked  an  elderly  vet  how  to  se- 
date Moms  and  his  prescnpuon  wa&  "Give  him  15  drops 
of  cognac  and  15  drops  of  water."  Possibly  the  vet 
thought  Moms  was  Marilyn's  husband.  Anyway,  she 
decided  to  give  him  one  Valium  p<n  inwtraii  . 

In  retrospect.  I  should  have  recommended  a  pair  of 
doecuffs.  After  all  I  knew  of  the  several  tragicomic  A„    v-  .u    «•  u.   PCTEBE?rrovojA  '  *-•  "**»  **"

On  those  trips.  Marilyn  tned  to  master  the  art  o 


night  of  the  plane's  arrival  at  Los  Angeles  International. 
"He  ate  through  the  crate,"  a  security  officer  said, 
surveying  the  wooden  wreckage.  "He's  running  loose." 
"Inside  the  airport?"  I  asked. 
The  officer  paused.  "On  the  runway,"  he  said. 
Alas.  Moms  had  a  way  of  making  his  presence  felt-       MartiypAeit  "^  Ae  S^d  to  search  for  Moms  in  a 
like  mugging  the  motel  manager's  malamute  puppy  in      ^f*5"  retv 
small  Kansas  town  on  Interstate  70.  Maniyn  got  ou^o 
that  one  by  pretending  she  had  never  seen  Moms  be- 


sneaking  the  dog  into  a  motel  room— never  check 
during  the  day,  never  park  near  the  office,  never  put  m' 
name  down  on  the  registration  form,  never  send  hun  ou 
to  fetch  ice.  etc.  etc. 


fore— but  like  a  good  sport,  volunteering  to  take  him  ot 

the  oremises. 

"  Paw-to-Piw  Combat 

He  was  forever  plunging  through  screens  or  ou 
bathroom  windows  to  commit  assaults  in  towns  Lik' 
Webster  Grove.  Mo..  Little  Rock.  Ark.,  and  a  string  c 
West  Coast  communiues  (including  paw-to-paw  com 
bat  with  a  Dobennan  pinscber  at  UC  Santa  BarDara— lr 
a  crowded  classroom ). 

.He  and  Maniyn  settled  in  Manhattan  where,  it  wa 
hoped,  he  could  make  a  fresh  start  with  a  new  idenut 
,(Bans).  Then,  a  German  shepherd  charged  into  my  sis 
ter's  apartment— and  the  waiting  jaws  of  Moms  (the 
family  still  used  his  old  name  in  private). 

The  shepherd  would  have  expired  if  Marilyn's  hus- 
band John,  after  trying  for  several  minutes  to  loosen 
Moms'  favorite  death-grip,  hadn't  lit  a  match  and  gent- 
ly touched  the  flame  to  a  sensitive  area. 

Mnms  let  ro  immediately,  though  he  didn't  make  a 
noise.  The  shepherd  survived,  but  it  was  definitely  time 
for  Moms  to  skip  town. 
Unfortunately,  one  Valium  Dill  wasn't  enough  to  se- 


returned  in  an  hour— without  the  dog. 
Hard  to  Believe 

"It  was  unbelievable."  she  reported.  "We  heard  a  re- 
port on  the  radio  that  he  was  out  in  the  TWA  area.  Then 
he  was  seen  at  Golden  West  and  at  United.  I  think:  It's 
so  big  out  there— the  flashing  lights,  planes  coming  and 
leaving,  the  noise.  .  ."  She  sighed  and  left  to  resume  the 
hunt  with  the  patient  officer. 

It  was  hard  to  believe  that  Morris  might  die  out  there 
—or  anywhere,  for  that  matter.  In  his  nine  years,  his  life 
had  assumed  a  sort  of  mythlike  stature. 

He  had  never  been  sick  a  day.  He  had  been  hit  by  cars 
twice  and  walked  away  uninjured.  He  had  survived  an 
attack  by  Venice's  celebrated  Roving  Band  of  Dogs,  as 
well  as  scores  of  more  even-sided  matches. 

Would  he  now  become  the  Phantom  of  LAX.  occa- 
sionally glimpsed  by  passengers  on  moonlit  nights? 

Ninety  minutes  passed.  Finally.  Marilyn  reappeared 
— with  Moms.  The  officer  suggested  she  acquire  aplas- 
tic crate— an  advance  over  the  wooden  model— for 
Morris'  next  flight  (if  a  next  flight  was  absolutely  ne- 
cessary). 

Moms,  meanwhile,  looked  a  little  winded  But  he 
didn't  have  a  scratch  on  him.  Of  course,  we'll  never 
know  whether  any  planes  hit  hun.

THE  ELLISES:    A  Welsh   Miner's   Daughter 

The  Ellis  family  is  our  Welsh  connection.  Church  records 
show  that  Edward  Ellis,  son  of  William,  was  born  in  Machen, 
Wales,  in  1787.  His  son  Richard,  a  miner,  was  born  in 
Llantherwell,  Wales,  in  1811,  and  married  Mary  Matthews  of 
Drumcondr a ,  Ireland. 

Converted  to  Mormonism,  Richard  and  Mary  Ellis  emigrated 
to  the  United  States  (Salt  Lake  City)  in  1881  to  live  near 
their  daughter,  Martha,  wife  of  James  Harvey.

wrote  in  1986: 

I  was  married  Sept.  4,  1918,  in  the 
Salt  Lake  Temple.  Your  great  grandmother 
Martha  was  working  in  the  temple  and  when 
she  saw  my  name,  she  came  to  me  and  told 
me  who  she  was  and  went  through  the 
temple  with  me. 

I  was  surely  glad  to  have  one  of  my 
own  family  with  me.  She  told  me  my 
grandfather  had  done  the  painting  in  some 
of  the  rooms  we  went  through.  She  was 
Aunt  Martha  to  me;  anyway  that  is  what  I 
called  her. 

Bless  her  heart!

Roy  Smith  (4.3) 
found  the  following 

biographical      sketch,   written   about   1879,   in   Crawford 

County's   historical  file. 

It  recounts  how,  at  age  13,   John  Bell 

went  to  Pittsburgh  and  learned  the 
trade  of  cabinet  making,  working  there  4 
1/2  years.  On  Aug.  30,  1826,  he  landed  in 
Cochranton  and  worked  several  years  at 
his   trade. . .During   1832,   he   built    a 


Photo  believed  to  be 
that  of  John  Bell

section   of  the  Erie  Canal. 

In   1844,   he  bought  his  present 

farm... His  place  originally  was  of  the 

Adams  tract,   which  was  settled  by  his 
father-in-law . 

Mr.  Bell  has  been  a  member  of  the 
School  Board  of  Cochranton  . . .  and  was  also 
a  member  of  the  Grand  Jury  which  condemned 
the  old  jail. 

John  Bell  was  also  remembered  for  an  act  of  heroism  by 

a  local  historian: 

It  was  considered  a  great  feat  that 
John  Bell,  one  winter  night  in  1830,  went 
on  horseback  for  Dr.  Kennedy,  and  brought 
him  at  risk  of  life  and  limb,  over  the  icy 
trail  to  the  home  of  our  good  clergyman, 
Rev.  Samuel  Smith  and  our  late  citizen  of 
prominence,  Esq.  Hugh  Smight,  became  an 
important  acquisition  to  the  minister's 
household. 

Of  John  and  Lydia  Bell's  children,  George  was  a  well  known 

railroad  builder  in  Pueblo,  Colo. ,  Cooper  Adams  was  owner  and 

editor  of  the  Cochranton  Times   and  James  S.  was  a  Franklin, 

Neb. ,   hardware  store-owner  and  local  Democratic  Party  worker 

who  was  said  to  have  been  a  friend  of  William  Jennings  Bryan.

himself  with   Eva   Wetsel,   who  had  been   Emma's   next-door 

neighbor  when  she  was  growing  up.  They  married  in  1872.

THE   ADAMSES

John  Adams  helped  found  the  village  of  Cochranton, 
building  a  sawmill  and  grist  mill  there  in  the  early  1800s, 
according  to  local  histories. 

LYDIA  ADAMS  (1813-1889)  (4.6)

William  T. ,  Mary  A.  (Reed),  Cooper  Adams,  James  S.,  Lydia,   d. 
Jan.  25,  1889,  in  Cochranton. 

It's  a  shame  that  historians  ignored  the  women  of  Lydia 
Bell's  period.  All  we  know  of  her  are  the  vital  statistics: 
raised  nine  children,  lived  about  76  years,  all  within  a  few 
miles  of  her  birthplace  on  the  western  Pennsyvlania  frontier. 

Come  to  think  of  it,  those  statistics,  in  themselves, 
tell  a  quietly  heroic  story.

CHAPTER  FIVE 


THE  WETSELS:      Schaghticoke' s  Farmer/Soldier 


The  first  member  of  the  family  to  come  to  America  was 
George  Wetsel  (also  spelled  Wetzel,  or  Whetzel) .  He  settled  in 
the  upper  New  York  state  town  of  Schaghticoke  (an  Indian  word 
meaning  "the  meeting  of  two  rivers")  in  Rensselaer  County. 

A  Wetsel  Road  in  Schaghticoke  speaks  of  the  family 
pioneer  status.  A  Wetsel  descendant,  Mrs.  Margaret  Hetrick, 
says:  "My  grandfather  (Charles  Wetsel)  had  a  farm  on  that  road 
which  burned  many  years  ago  and  today  another  farm  originally 
owned  by  Peter  Wetsel  (Charles1  brother)  is  still  in  operation 
by  Myron  Wetsel  (grandson  of  Peter)."

DEATH  OF  MR.  WETSEL 

(From  the  Troy  (N.Y.)  Budget,    Oct.  26,  1858) 

Mr.  John  B.  Wetsel,  who  has  been  a  conductor  on  the  Troy 
&  Greenbush  Railroad  since  the  departure  of  Mr.  Philip  Miller, 
died  on  Sunday  evening. 

We  have  heard  it  stated,  that  Mr.  Wetsel,  a  few  weeks 
since,  got  an  insurance  policy  on  his  life  of  $3,000  when  to 
appearances  he  was  one  of  the  healthiest  men  in  the  City.

GEORGE  WETSEL  (1727/28-1824)  (5.0) 

Farmer,   soldier,   B.   1727/1728,   Germany(?),   m.   Maria 

Barbara  (1735-1832),  c.  George  Jr.,  Daniel,  Christopher,  John, 

Joseph,    Mary   (Baucus) ,   Elizabeth    (Sipperly) ,    Christina 

(Stover) ,  d.  Schaghticoke,  Rensselaer  County,  New  York,   April 

6,  1824. 

Records   show  George  Wetsel  came  to  America  around   1745. 

A  Schaghticoke  village  history  described  him  as  a 

pios  old  Lutheran  who  was  a  private  in  the 
14th  regiment  of  the  Albany  County  Militia 
under  Col.  John  Knickerbocker  during  the 
American  Revolution. 

He  was  also  founder  of  the  first 
Lutheran  Church  of  the  village  of  Melrose 
which  was  organized  in  1777  by  descendants 
of  the  German  immigrants  who  came  from 
Palatinate. 

He  was  buried,  a  local  newspaper  said,  "near  the   church 
where  he  had  so  long  labored  to  support."

Dan  Wetsel's  will  included  such  items  as  "1  Breeding  mare, 
Hay  in  Barn,  Oxen,  yoke,  20  Hens,  14  Sheep,  1  Side  hill  plow" 


WILLIAM  B.  WETSEL  (1804-1872)  (5.2) 
Farmer,   b.  Nov.  20,  1804,  Schaghticoke,  N.Y.,  to   Daniel 
and  Anna  (or  Hannah)  Wetsel,  m.  (1)  Minerva  Ann  (?) ,   m.   (2) 
Almira   C.  Richardson,  circa  1843,  c.  Eva  (Bell);  d.  Aug.   24, 
1872,  Richmond,  Penn.  (buried  in  New  Richmond  Cemetery). 

Eking  out  a  living  was  not  easy  for  William  Wetsel.  By 
1834,  he  had  moved  to  Girard  (now  Platea) ,  Penn.,  and  married 
Minerva  Ann.  At  one  point,  a  parcel  of  his  land  was  seized  by 
the  local  sheriff  on  behalf  of  creditors. 

Minerva  Ann's  fate  is  not  known  to  us.  However,  by  1843,  he 
was  married  to  Almira  Richardson.  They  moved  to  New  Richmond 
(near  Meadville) ,  a  Crawford  County  town  where  revolutionary 
abolitionist  John  Brown  operated  a  tannery  for  a  time. 

Their  daughter,  Evaline,  may  have  been  named  after 
William's  sister  who  died  while  still  in  her  20s.

William  Richardson  fought  in  the  New  York  militia  under 
Col.  Henry  Bloom  for  eight  months  in  the  War  of  1812.  He  was 
paid  160  acres  in  exchange,  possibly  his  farm  in  Richmond. 

But,  like  many  soldiers  before  and  after,  Cpl.  Richardson 
felt  short-changed.  So  he  filed  a  claim  for  back  pay  ($3.25) 
and  expenses  ($56)  for  such  personal  items  as  1  neckerchief 
($1),  1  knapsack  ($1.50)  and  1  "Ordinary  Coat"  ($10)  (see  next 
page).  Why  he  waited  until  1858  to  make  his  claim  isn't 
known.   The  Army  gave  the  old  soldier  $47.

THE   RICHARDSONS  57 

ALMIRA  RICHARDSON  (1815-1878?)  (6.1) 

Farmer,  b.  Seneca  County  (?) ,  N.  Y.,  in  1815,  to   William 

and  Rhoda  Richardson,  m.  early  1840s  William  Wetsel  in  Girard, 

Penn.,  c.  Eva  Wetsel  (Bell),  d.  1878  (?) ,  Richmond,  Penn.  (?) 

After  moving   from  Girard  (now  Platea)  Penn.   to  Richmond 

with  her  husband  in  the  early  1840s,  Almira  began  a  diary  that 

frequently  alludes  to  the  loneliness  of  the  frontier: 

Oh,    love   that  died!    Oh,    broken      faith! 

Bright   dreams   forever  gone, 

Ye  shall   be  mine  while  once  again 

I  listen   to   that   song. 

Then  while   the  stars  of  twilight  shine, 

And  winds   are  whispering  low, 

Sing  me   the  song  I  love   to  hear, 

The  song  of  long  ago. 

She   also   dwells   on  her   own   strict   Baptist   beliefs, 

denouncing  such  sins  as  chewing  and  smoking  tobacco,  whose 

victims,  I  believe  are  mostly 

irreclaimable. . .gradually  they  sink  until 
lost  to  every  sense  of  decency. . . they  cling 
to  that  poisonous  weed  more  devotedly  than 
to   their  God. 

Their  minds  become  weakened  and  they 
sink  victims  to  intemperance  in  its  most 
hideous  form. 

Her  diary  also  speaks  of  the  cold  winters   ("J  live     in 

hope   to  see   fair  weather  when   the   clouds  return   again   and      the 

mud     dries      away") ,  the  ever-present  specter  of   sudden   death 

("Evaline      will      be      seven  years   old  if  she      lives")      and   the 

simpler  pleasures   of  the  period  ("Eva     went     berryin'      with 

the  Jeromes" ) . 


58     HARVEY/MOOG  ROOTS 

She  saw  humor,  too,  though  ("How  many  men   think  they     are 
getting  a  help  mate  for  life  but  find  to  their  sorrow  tis, 
after  all,    only  a   help  eat") . 

She  last  appears  in  tax  records  in  1879.  In  1884,  Eva  and 
Robert  Bell,  listed  as  her  inheritors,  sold  the  property. 
While  William  Wetsel  is  buried  in  a  cemetery  not  far  from 
their  farm,  the  site  of  Almira's  grave  is  not  known.

CHAPTER  SEVEN 

THE  MOOGS:    A  German   Chemist   in    the   West 

In  our  search  into  the  past  of  Fred  Moog  (1823-1867) ,  we 
sent  out  hundreds  of  letters  within  the  United  States  (where 
about  650  Moogs  live,  according  to  family  authority  Robert 
Moog)  and  overseas  (mostly  to  Germany) .   A  rewarding  byproduct 

was  the   replies  that  we  received charming,   informative, 

touching,  funny  and  downright  bizarre.   Some  excerpts: 
"I  am  not   a  Moog.    I  just  married  one." 

"When  we  got  the  letter  we  were  wondering,  for  we  don't 
know  anyone  in  the  United  States." 

"Maybe      you      have   seen   our  younger  son   on   T.V.      He     now 
plays  with   the  Washington  Redskins." 

"Apparently   Grandpa  Moog's  mother  was   something   of   a 
'tart,*  and  went  through  about  six  husbands." 

"Grandfather  Moog  was   a   character.    He  played   the     horses, 


60     HARVEY /MOOG  ROOTS 
shot  pool   and  drank  beer. " 

"Are  any  of  your  family  musical?   This  seems  to  be  a  pre- 
vailing talent  among  the  Moogs." 

"My     Moog  cousins  are  all      truck-driving ,      cigar-smoking, 
women-chasing  guys.     (Also  card-playing  and  beer-drinking) . " 

"I  put  Grandpa 
Moog  out  of  my  mind 
long  ago  after  Mamma 
told  me  he  was  cruel 
and  unfaithful." 

"Our  Moogs  have 
big  noses. " 

"It  turned  out  my 
grandfather  was  an 
illegitimate  child  and 
went  by  his  mother's 
name. " 

"We  heard  that  one 
Moog  woman  was  hanged 
as  a  spy  during  World 
War  I. "

Minnesota,   circa  1875.  Albert  was  curious  about   his   kinfolk 
and  went  to  see  them  but  his  mother  decided  to  stay  home.

FREDERICK  C.  (?)  MOOG  (1823-1867)   (7.0) 

Saloon-keeper,  gold  miner,  rancher  and  stagecoach  station 
operator,  b.  1823,  m.  Mary  Schneider  1863,  Black  Hawk  Point, 
Colo.,  c.  Albert,  Montana  (Savery) ,  d.  March  1,  1867,  n. 
Anaconda,  Mont. 

All  but  seven  years  of  Fred  Moog's  life the  last  seven 

years are  a  mystery  to  us.  We  don't  know  what  he   looked 

like,  whether  he  is  one  of  the  dozen  or  so  groomed-for-the- 
occasion  types  staring  at  us  solemnly  in  studio  photos  that  we 
possess. 

He  first  materializes  in  the  1860  Denver  census,  and 
later  turns  up  in  the  liquor-tax  records  of  the  gold-rush 
towns  of  Black  Hawk,  Colo.,  (1862)  and  Virginia  City,   Mont.,

I860  census,  stating  Fred  Moog  was  born  in  "Russia."   His 
children  said  Germany.   Did  census-taker  mishear  "Prussia"? 


64     HARVEY/MOOG   ROOTS 

(1864).   "From  Virginia  City  came  Fred  Moog  with   five  burros 

and  much   optimism,"   wrote  Ralph   Powell   in  his   "Complete 

History   of   the   Livestock  Industry  in   Silver   Bow  County." 

"He  tried  his  hand  at 

placer  mining  near  Silver  Bow,  finally  lost 
interest,  and  traded  his  five  burros  for  a 
ranch.  It  was  located  three  miles  north  of 
Stuart  station,  and  covered  160  acres.  Moog 
immediately  stocked  his  ranch  with  a  small 
herd  of  scrub  beef  cattle,  and  before  1865 
ended,  he  was  on  the  way  to  a  successful, 
though  brief,  career  as  a  stockman. 

Fred  Moog  arrived  in  Montana  at  a  time  when  local  Indian 
tribes  were  warning  white  men  to  stay  out.  (It  was  just  13 
years  before  Custer's  Last  Stand,  some  400  miles  to  the  east.) 

And  white  men  could  be  dangerous  in  those  parts,  too. 
More  than  100  people  are  believed  to  have  been  murdered  in  one 
three-month  period  in  1863  by  a  gang  (surreptitiously)  led  by 
Sheriff  Henry  Plummer,  later  hanged. 


Fred  Moog  decided  early,  it  appears,  that  working  the 
mines  provided  less  steady  income  than  supplying  those  who 
worked  the  mines.  Soon,  he  was  running  a  successful 
stagecoach  station/restaurant  about  three  miles  west  of  Butte. 
His  wife  Mary  was  especially  known  for  her  pies.

Bow  for  $110  in  June,  1865.  Silver  Bow  is  now  a  ghost  town. 


Fred  Moog  died  suddenly  on  March  1,  1867.  "For  the  first 
time,"  Powell  wrote,  "tragedy  struck  among  the  members  of  the 
new  and  tiny  livestock  fraternity."

HARVEY/MOOG   ROOTS 


Moog's  death,  like  his  birth,  is  a  mystery.  A  possible 
clue:  One  of  the  severest  cold  spells  in  the  history  of  the 
state  hit  in  March 
of  1867,  with  tem- 
peratures falling  to 
60  below  zero  in 
Butte .  Was  Moog 
caught  in  a  storm? 
We  don't  know. 

He  was  buried 
on  his  farm,  atop  a 
hill  overlooking  the 
town  of  Opportunity 
— his  favorite  view, 
it  was  said.  One  of  Steve  Harvey  at  "Father"  Moog  site 
his  executors  was  Conrad  Kohrs,  a  well-known  cattle  rancher. 

The  notation  "Father"  inscribed  on  the  tombstone,  still 
standing  on  what  is  now  Anaconda  Copper  Co.  property,  has 
intrigued  subseguent  generations. 

When  Steve  Harvey  and  his  mother  Marie  asked  a  gas 
station  attendant  in  Opportunity  for  directions  to  the 
gravesite  in  1985,  he  said:  "Oh,  you  mean  the  priest?" 

Historian  Alice  Finnegan  said:  "As  a  child  I  heard  the 
'priest'  story,  as  did  my  father,  who  grew  up  near  there.  So 
I'm  happy  to   know  there   are   descendants   still   around."

Around  1910,  Albert,  his  mother  Mary  (Schneider)  Moog  and 
sister  Montana  (Moog)  Savery  moved  from  Deer  Lodge,  Mont. ,  to 
Long  Beach,  Calif.  (Pgs.  71-76  tell  of  his  Montana  years.) 

Albert  Jr.  remembers  hearing  they  were  greeted  at  the 
train  stop  in  Long 
Beach  by  a  vendor. 
The  man  warned  them 
that  they  should  buy 
sunglasses  or  they 
would  be  blinded  by 
the  glare  produced 
by  the  sun  hitting 
the  ocean. 

Around     1915, 
Albert  purchased   a 
ranch  down  the  road         Therese,  Albert  in  Seattle,  1911 
from  the  moonshining  Love  family  near  where  Seventeenth  Ave. 

and   Springdale  Blvd.  intersect  the   present-day   site   of 

the  Westminster  Shopping  Mall.  On  his  ranchhouse,  he  displayed 
a  sign  that  he  brought  from  the  north,  which  said,  "Deer 
Lodge."  Often  passersby  would  take  the  sign  to  mean  that  the 
ranch  was  a  hotel,  especially  since  he  insisted  on  keeping  a 
phone  on  the  outside  wall. 

His  acguaintances  in  Orange  County  included  the  operator 
of   a  small  chicken  stand,  Walter  Knott,   as  well  as  a   farmer

A  spirit  of  generous  emulation  char-

Wednesday  evening  In  Cottonwood  Hall. 
The  essayists  wore  Miss  Virginia  Doug-

was  awarded  the  first  prize  for  osBfiys, 
Mr.  'Sanders  receiving  the  second.  In 
oratory  Mr.  Burkett,  with  benevolont 
smiles  and  a  heart  brimful  of  kindest 
wishes  for  his  competitor,  was  the  happy 
recipient  of  the  first  prize. 

TheBo  earnests  of  future  usefulness 
were  so  well  prepared  that  It  mado  the 
task  of  just  decision  unenviable. 

The  class  day  exercises  were  crowded 
with  gems  of  dawning  wit  and  youthful

President  of  the  class,  groeted  the  •aud-

The-     Moogs      were     not     only 
pioneers    of    Silver    Bow    but    of,

wife.  She  camo  all  tho  way  from 
Denver  with  a  babe  in  her  arms, 
by  stage  coach,  at  a  cost  uf  H&0 
which  Is  said  to  have  been  a  low 
rale  for  thoso.  days.  In  18G5  Ihey 
decided  to  try  the  new  places  .dig-

Around  1910,  she  moved  to  Long  Beach  and  purchased  the 
Tichenor  house  at  852  E.  Ocean  Ave.  (designed  by  the  Greene

just  as  the  Long  Beach  earthguake  struck.  According  to  family 
lore,  the  captain  refused  to  turn  back. 

In  later  years,  she  contributed  heavily  to  charity  and 
toward  the  education  of  her  grandchildren.  Succeeding  Moog  and

Butte 
pioneers. 


The  first  school  entertainment 
ever  given  In  Butte  was  held  Just 
38  years  ago  last  Friday  in  the 
city's  first  brick  school  building 
which  occupied  a  site  on  West  Park 
street  Just,  west  of  what  Is  now 
the  Goldberg  block.  The  return  to 
Butte  of  J.  A.  Saville,  who  was 
then  teacher  of  the  school,  from 
southern  California,  recalls  to  the 
minds  of  many  of  the  old-time 
residents  this  memorable  event.  A 
score  or  more  of  men  and  women 
who  have  since  played  an  important 
part  in  the  upbuilding  of  Butte  par- 
ticipated In  the  entertainment  as 
children  arid  to  them  rentier,  cf 
the  program  of  the  affair,  which 
Mr.  Saville  cherishes,  will  recall 
many  pleasant  memories  and  remin- 
iscences. Mr.  Saville  taught  in 
Butte  the  winter  of  1875-76. 

"We  held  school  then  in  a  log 
cabin  which  was  later  replaced  by 
a  brick  building,"  said  Mr.  Saville 
yesterday  while  in  a  reminiscent 
mood.  "There  was  but  one  room  and 
I  taught  all  grades  the  winter  of 
75  and  76  from  the  first  to  the 
eighth.  It  was  not  the  first -school 
established  in  Butte,  but  I  think 
that  I  might  safely  say  it  'was  the 
first  after  the'  city  assumed  Im- 
portance as  a  quartz  camp.  The 
old  Travonia  mine -was  then  being 
operated.  It  was  not  until  two  or 
three  years  later  that  the  properties 
in  Walkerville  .were  developed  and 
operated  by  the  "Walker  brothers. 
The  late  Addison  Smith  was  county 
superinte  lent  of -Deer  Lodge  coun- 
ty, of  wh::h  Butte  was  then  a  part. 
The  trustees  of  my  district  my  first 
term  were  Robert  Glrton,  Peter 
Hume  and  Wayne  Barnard.  The 
trustees  during  "77  and  78  at  the 
time  the  school  entertainment 
was  held  were  Rolla  Butcher,  Hen- 
ry Jacobs  and  W.  H.  Young.  The 
late  John  F.  Fbrbis  was  the  school 
clerk.  ) ;  -  c        '       i  . 

"The"  first  "time  that  I  taught, 
that  is  the  four  months  in  the 
winter  of  1875  and  1876,  I  taught 
alone.  We  had  no  regular  system 
of  text  books,  although  later  a  uni- 
form 6ystem  was  adopted.  The  fol- 
lowing winter,  that  of  73  and  77, 
I  taught  school  In  Deer  Lodge  val- 
ley and  then  In  th«  -sinter  of  1877 


and  1878  I  took  the  Butte  schoc 
again  with  Miss  Lizzie  Self  of  Dee 
Lodge  «as  my  assistant.  The  schoc 
building  became  so  crowded  that  thi 
advanced  departments  were  move< 
to  the  Good  Templars  hall,  then  i 
log  building  on  West  Broadway. 
'  "At  the  time  the  entertainmen 
was  given  on  the  evening  of  Ma; 
22,  1878,  Miss  Self  had  charge  o 
the  primary  grades.-  I  taught  th< 
Intermediate  grades  and  Prof.  W 
Egbert  Smith  had  charge  of  th< 
higher  grades.  The  proceeds  wen 
in  charge  of  the  school  trustee 
and  the  entertainment  was  given  fai 
the  benefit  of  the  school  fund.' 
O'  tJ-.nce  trho  participated  in  tha: 
entertainment,  Mr.  Saville  has  fol- 
lowed the  lives  of  many  in  late 
years.  Recalling  those  whose  name?

First  White  Child  of  This 
■District  Returns  to  Tell 
of  Interesting  Incidents 


Montana  Moog's  return  visit  to 
Butte  prompted  this  page  one 
story  in  the   Montana  Stan- 
dard     on  July   7 ,   1935. 


■i  .The  first  white  child  In  what  are 
now  Silver  :  Bow  and  Deer  Lodge 
counties,  one  of  the  very, first  babies 
to,  all  Montana  and  one  of  the  two 
first  graduates  of  the  Butte  high 
sahool,  Is  a  house  guest  of  Miss  Theo 
Russell,  849  West'Quartz'street.  Her 
name,  is  Mrs.  James  Savery,  widow 
of  the  owner  knd  operator  of  the 
famed  Gable  gold  mine  of  pioneer 
days.  She  is  known  to  hundreds  of 
Montanans  as  "the  baby  of  the  So- 
ciety of  Montana  Pioneers,"  a  dis- 
tinction that  she  now  divides  with 
Miles  Cavanaugh,  president  of  the 
organization. 

Mrs,  Savery's  arrival  in  the  Silver 
Bow  county. district  in  1864  was  an 
event.  To  Judge  by  its  affect  on  the 
nostalgic  prospector  element  it  was 
equal  to  a  gold  strike.  Miners,  when 
they  heard  of  the  arrival  of  a  young 
mother  and  her  babe  in  this  part  of 
the  territory,  dropped  their  picks 
and  pans  and  tramped  as  many  as 
35  miles  over  mountain  and  gulch 
to  gaze  once  more  upon  a  sight  that 
reminded  them  of  "God's  Country," 
the  name  by  which  they  designated 
the  homes  they  had  left  in  the  East. 
'•  They  brought  their  pokes  of  gold 
dust  along  to  make  their  offering  at

Clark  Changed  Horses. 
■Mrs.  Savery  vividly  recalls  the  In- 
cidents connected  with  the  Gibbons 
Pass  battle  between  Chief  Joseph's 
band  and  General  Gibbons.  Students 
of  Montana  history  will  remember 
that  when  the  Invasion  of  the  Nez 
Perce  was  reported  from  Missoula 
Senator  W.  A.  Clark,  then  a  resident 
of  Deer  Lodgs,  mounted  his  horse 
and  set  off  pell  mell  for  Butte  to 
organize  .  a   company — he    recruited 
thee  of  them  here — to  repel  the  red 
skins   and   that  he   made   the   trip 
from  Deer  Lodge  to  Butte  in  three 
hours. 


The-  Impression  is  created  that  he 
made  the  trip  on  one  horse.  He 
didn't.  He  stopped  at  the  Moog 
ranch  near  Stuart,  asked  them  If 
they  had  any  arms  to  tend  him,  took 
the  only  thing  they  could  offer,  a 
huge  butcher  knife,  to  give  his  Butte 
troops,  and  borrowed  a  horse.  It  was 
the  Moog  horse,  it  seems,  that  Sen- 
ator Clark  rode  Into  Butte.  : 

The  Moogs  had  many  horses  but 
there  was  a  great  drain  on  their 
stock  at  that  time.  When  they  left 
the  ranch  to  seek  safety  In  Butte 
there  was  left  only  two  of  the  herd 
they  owned.  The  others  had  been 
borrowed  by  the  volunteer  soldiers. 
Mining:  a  Lottery. 

Mrs.  James  Savery  was  born  to  be:

He  quickly  learned  that  while  a 
great  ballyhoo  was  mewle  over  those 
vbo  "struck  it  rich,"  the  chances  for 
a  prospector,  becoming  wealthy  was 
about  one  in. ^,000.  Small, •  strikes 
were  frequent  enough  but  the  cost  of 
living  was  high  and  the  average' 
prospector  had  at  the  end  of  his 
month,  small  compensation  for  his 
strenuous  labor— except,  of  course, 
that  highly  prized  gift  of  freedom 
and  equality  which  permitted  him 
to  "look  any  man  in  the  eye  and  tell 
him  to  go  h — "  which,  in  the  opinion 
of  those  llbtrty-lovlng,  hard-boiled 
old  pioneer  minors,  was  almost  com- 
pensation enough. 

Shortly  after  Mary  Montana's 
birth  the  Moogs,  yielding  to  the 
widely  spread  reports  of  the  Eden 
that    Montana    offered — it    wasn't 


Sen.  Clark  rode  a  Moog  horse  on  his  historic  ride  to  Butte 


Montana  but  Idaho  territory  In  those  | 
days — set  out  for  Alder  Gulch.  The ! 
experiences  of  the  family  In  the  new  i 
"dlggln's"  merely  confirmed  the  con- 
victions formed  In  Colorado  regard- 
ing   the    returns    the    average    man 
might  expect  from  prospecting.  But 
there  was  a  lure  about  it  like  race 
horse  betting  or  lottery  tickets. .  If 
he  had  been  footloose  Moog  might/ 
have   remained   a   prospector.     Bu; 
there   was  a  family  to  provide   for 
and  Fred  Moog,  practical  man  that 
he  was,  turned  to  the  soil  that  ha<^ 
supported  his  family  In  Germany  fo 
ages. 

He  arrived  In  the  Sliver  Bow-Deer.

food  for'  his  family.  It  was  amid 
these  surroundings  that  little  Mary 
Montana  lived  until  she  was  10  years 
of  age.  In  1874  she  was  sent  by  her 
family  to  "the  little  village  on  the 
road  to  Bear,"  which  was  afterwards 
known  as  Cottonwood  and  later  as 
Deer  Lodge,  to  attend  school.  The 
trip  by  stage  from  Stuart— it  wasn't 
Stuart  yet — took  three  hours. 

She  became  a  member  of  the  fam- 
ily of  the  late  Judge  O'Bannon.  who 
promoted   the   establishment  of  the 
Butte   townslte   several    years   later. 
Across  the  street  was  the  home  of 
the    Rev.    J.    R.    Russell,    the    first 
Presbyterian  minister  in  Deer  Lodge 
county,  and  the  founder  of  the  Pres- 
byterian   church    in    Butte.      Miss 
Moog  attended  a  private  school  at 
Deer    Lodge    until    her    family    re- 
moved to  Butte  following  the  death 
of  her  father  and  the  marriage  of 
her  mother  to'  L,  A.  Barnard,  brother 
pf  one  of  Butte's  most  active  early- 
!day  business  men. 
,    Mr.  and  Mrs.  Barnard  bought  the 
lot  where  the  Henderson  and  Blelen-

Grave  occupant  not 
Father,  but  a  dad 


By  Rich  Simpson 

Standard  Staff  Writer 

For  many  years,  Anacondans 
have  believed  a  solitary  grave  on  a 
hill  above  Opportunity  contained 
the  remains  of  an  area  priest. 

Some  people  claim  it  has  never 
been  vandalized,  because  of  super- 
stitions about  defacing  a  priest's 
grave. 

The  words  FATHER,  Frederick 
M.  Hoog,  1823-1867,  on  the  rose 
quartz  marker  probably  led  people 
to  think  it  was  a  priest's  resting 
place,  said  Alice  Finnegan,  Tri- 
County  Historical  Society  director. 

Not  so,  says  Steve  Harvey,  a  Los 
Angeles  Times  feature  reporter. 
The  grave  holds  his  great-grand- 
father's remains. 

"Everybody  thought  it  was  a 
priest's  grave,  because  it  had  father 
on  it,"  Finnegan  said.  "They  didn't 
realize  it  meant  dad." 

Harvey,  39,  viewed  the  grave  for 
the  first  time  Wednesday.  He  flew 
up  from  California  with  his  mother, 
Marie  Harvey,  just  to  inspect  it. 

The  Harveys  visited  the  Anacon- 
da area  in  June,  but  never  looked 
for  the  marker  because  they  felt  it 
had  probably  had  crumbled.  Mrs. 
Harvey  saw  it  only  once  before,  in 
1941. 

But  after  corresponding  with  Fin- 


negan, they  learned  it  was  still  in 
excellent  shape.  So,  they  returned. 

Harvey,  who  also  pens  the  Bot- 
tom 10  football  columns  for  United 
Press  syndicate,  is  an  avid  genealo- 
gist and  is  researching  his  family's 
past. 

"When  you  reach  a  certain  age, 
you  start  wondering  where  you 
came  from,"  Harvey  said. 

"It's  a  way  of  getting  a  feel  of 
what  life  was  like  back  then,"  be 
said. 

Harvey  started  wondering  about 
his  past  two  years  ago.  His  search 
for  his  family's  roots  has  brought 
him  to  Montana  three  times  and  in- 
stigated about  200  letters  to  persons 
with  the  last  name  of  Moog. 

While  searching  Southwest  Mon- 
tana records  offices,  libraries  and 
archives,  Harvey  verified  that  his 
ancestor  wasn't  a  holy  man.  A  pro- 
bate file  at  the  Anaconda-Deer 
Lodge  County  Courthouse  showed 
Moog  possessed  147  gallons  of  whis- 
key; 32  gallons  of  brandy;  and  130 
pounds  of  tobacco  when  he  died. 

From  other  items  listed  on  the 
probate,  it  appears  Moog's  Opportu- 
nity ranch  also  served  as  a  trav- 
eler's way  station  or  store.  He  also 
possessed  52  cans  of  tomatoes  at  the 
time  of  his  death. 
His  great-grandfather  Moog  was

keeper, he  left  the  Colorado  capital 
in  the  early  1860s.  He  ended  up  in 
Silver  Bow  in  1863  in  the  search  of 
gold. 

Moog  arrived  in  Silver  Bow  with

bert Moog,  was  a  baseball  player 
and  a  violinist.  Mrs.  Harvey,  how- 
ever, never  heard  or  saw  her  father 
play  music  or  sports. 

"There  was  a  violin  at  our  house, 
but  I  thought  it  was  a  neighbor's," 
she  said.

Day  the  Earth  Shook:  127  Died 


6.3  Quake  Spread  Panic  in  Southland 

BY  STEVE  HARVEY 

TImi  ln«  WrltOT 

Forty -four  years  ago  today.  Joe  Fox.  a 
shortstop  on  Compton  Junior  College's  baseball 
team,  was  nding  through  Long  Beach  on  the 
team  bus  when  he  noticed  that  the  telephone 
poles  outside  were  swaying  like  palm  trees. 

At  nearly  the  same  Instant  in  Santa  Ana— it 
was  5:54  p.m.— Albert  Moog's  house  shook  so 
violently  that  the  family  raced  out  the  back 
door  and  was  narrowly  missed  by  a  falling 
ehimney. 

Meanwhile,  at  Callech  in  Pasadena.  Albert 
Einsiem  was  so  engrossed  in  a  conversation 
with  a  fellow  scientist  that  he  reportedly  an- 
swered. "What  earthquake?"  to  a  student  va- 
cating the  trembling  building. 

In  Los  Angeles.  Luella  Aknim  also  fled  from 
her  home,  but  with  tragic  results.  She  was 
struck  and  killed  by  an  auto  on  54th  Si 

Mrs.  Alcrum  was  one  of  127  persons  who 
died  in  the  earthquake  that  struck  Southern 
California  March  10. 1933. 

It  injured  more  than  5.000  and  forever  de- 
stroyed the  prevailing  myth  that  major  earth- 
Juakes  occurred  in  Northern,  not  Southern, 
aJifornia. 

The  epicenter  of  the  temblor,  which  mea- 
sured 6.3  on  the  Richter  scale  ( compared  to  6J 
for  the  1971  San  Fernando  quake),  was  3V* 
miles  offshore  from  Newport  Beach. 

The  initial  major  shock  lasted  11  seconds.  By

Panic  was  widespread.  In  the  cool  evening

SS  Catalina  had  sunk.  The  Catalina  Channel 
had  sunk— had  sunk  369  feel,  no  less.  A  tidal 
wave  was  coming. 

Alben  Moog  Jr..  then  a  curious  youth  of  17. 
gathered  with  hundreds  of  others  at  the  sea- 
shore to  wait  for  the  big  wave.  The  surf  didn  I 
get  any  bigger  than  usual."  he  remembers  now 
—with  relief. 


Young  Albert  went   down   to

stands,  not  .is  one  shouting  from  the  housetop,  but  in  gentle  tones 
of  helpful  comradeship  of  those  who  still  love  yesterday  and  the 
Iragrant  wood-smoke  of  kindly  hearth   fires. 

When  the  late  James  C  Savery.  beloved  citizen  of  Long 
Beach  came  home  from  Europe  in  1920  he  resolved  that  he 
would  spend  the  rest  of  his  life  in  helping  people  create  useful 
and  beautiful  things.  Believing  as  he  did.  in  those  ideals  which 
make  for  the  greatest  progress  to  the  individual  and  to  the  com- 
munity, from  an  old  apartment  house,  and  five  garages  Mr.  Savery 
began  the  development  of  The  Wayside  Colony — a. center  which 
has  brought  a  joyous  expression  of  Art  to  Long  Beach  for  many 
years  This  artistic  unity  of  buildings  has  become  a  monument 
to  this  great  man.  Unfortunately  he  did  not  live  to  see  the  com- 
pletion of  his  dream. 

In  192S  during  the  Pacific  Southwest  Exposition  local  and 
internationally  known  artists  gathered  in  YE  OLDE  COURT 
YARD  THEATRE  for  the  sessions  "Mornings  In  Art."  Here 
the  Long  Beach  Theatre  Guild  was  born  and  produced  their  first 
plays. 

A  number  of  actors  and  actresses  now  famous,  made  their 
debut  on  this  stage,  bare  of  artificial  scenery  and  stage  parapher- 
nalia. The  Long  Beach  Art  Association  has  held  many  exhibitions 
here  and  given  delightful  entertainments. 

Once  a  bandstand,  now  class  room  in  The  Colonial  School 
for  boys  and  girls,  the  "BIG  TOP  was  moved  in.  sans  side  walls 
and  floor.  The  old  log  cabin,  brought  in  for  the  World  War 
Veterans  Workshop,  became  the  home  of  Needlecrafters  who 
are  responsible  for  many  revivals  of  old  time  stitchery  and  hooked 
rug   making. 


Jim  Savery  founded  the  Wayside  Colony  in  Long  Beach  to 
encourage  the  arts.  It  has  since  given  vay  to  urban  renewal.

The  death  of  Mary  Savery,  pio-

Matt  J.  Kelly,  who  is  receiving

French  crossing.  A  headstone 
shows  he  died,  in  the  1860's.  The 
stone  was  erected  by  his  daughter, 
Mary  Montana  Moog  Savery.  ".. 

The  old  home  at  Cable  was  a 
showplace  for  many  years  until 
it  burned  do«^n  after  1910.  Each

(ATLANTIC)  CABLE  MINE 
.Produced  World's  Richest  Gold  Pockets 

The  Cable  Mine,  located  about  13  miles  west  of  Anaconda,  \va: 
mined  as  early  as  the  1860's  but  history  verifies  organized  mining  ir 
the  area  only  .from  the  1870's. 

Many  prospectors  worked  the  hills  and  creeks  of  the  area  before 
it  was  officially  located  by  J.  C.  Savory  about  1880.  "High-grading'' 
became  so  rampant  that  miners  were  searched  when  leaving  the  mine, 
but  in  spite  of  such  precautions  much  gold  was  stolen. 

Cable,  the  town,  remained  small  but  due  to  its  wealth,  was  a 
social  beehive  and  boasted  of  stores,  post  office,  saloon,  etc.  The  mag- 
nificent Savory  home  was  the  scene  of  social  functions.  It  was  de- 
stroyed by  fire  but  the  fire  place  and  the  "Lover's  Lane"  stairway 
through  the  garden  still  remain. 

One  Cable  miner  supposedly  made  off  with  so  much  gold  that   he 
built  a  mansion  in  England  on  what  he  named  "Cable  Terrace."

Writer  Sy  Stoddard  told  an  intriguing  tale  about  Cable: 

Mr.  Savery  drove  up  to  the  rail 
station  one  day  in  a  light  spring  wagon.  He 
was  accompanied  by  three  armed  men.  Walking 
into  the  office  he  glanced  about  and  then 
informed  agent  Leonard  he  had  a  shipment 
for  New  York. 

"Where  is  it?"  Leonard  inguired. 
"It  will  be  here  in  a  few  minutes." 

About  10  minutes  later  a  team  of 
horses  plodded  to  the  depot,  pulling 
nothing  but  the  running  gear  of  an  old 
dead-axe  wagon.  The  driver  was  seated  on  a 
small  bundle  of  hay  tied  to  the  front. 

He  hitched  his  horses  and  untied  the 
bundle  of  hay  from  which  he  extracted  a 
small  wooden  box.  It  reguired  two  men  to 
carry  the  box  into  the  depot... It  contained 
$55,000  in  gold  bullion.

A  breakthrough  in  our  research  was  meeting  Claire 
Schneider,  great-granddaughter  of  William  (1933-1906) . 

Claire,  to  our  mutual  amazement,  possessed  some  of  the 
family  memorabilia  we  had,  notably  the  photo  of  Albert  Moog 
(at  start  of  Moogs  section).  "I  never  knew  who  he  (Moog)  was," 
Claire  said,  "or  why  we  had  this  obituary  (of  Mary  Moog)." 

We   both  had  the  photo  of  the  Schneider  clan  on  the   next 

page  as  well.  Claire  identified  the  man  in  back  as  William. 

Adella    Lenz,   age   93,   granddaughter   of   Fred   Schneider 

(William's  brother),  recognized  the  man   in  the  middle  as

"Gramps"  and  the  man  on  Gramps1  left  as  "Cris,"  William's 
half-brother  Christian.  Adella  said  her  father  (Charles  A. 
Schneider)  called  the  woman  in  the  middle  "Aunt  Bickbach," 
which  is  why  we  believe  she  is  Jeanette  Schneider  Bickenbach. 

Other  Schneiders 
said  the  fourth  man  in

Mary  (p.  104)  was 
a  sister  of  these  five.

Mary  Schneider  was   not

Montana   census,   while   then    A  widow  in  Montana,  1868 
married  to  L.A.  Barnard,  she  listed  her  own  personal  worth, 
one  of  the  few  wives  to  do  so. 

Her  nephew  James  Savery  wrote  that  she  came  to  Albert 
Lea,  Minn.,  from  Vasbeck,  in  the  early  1850s  with  five 
siblings.  We  believe  they  were  Frederick,  Charles,  William,  a 
half-brother  Chris  and  perhaps  Jeanette  (Bickenbach) .

The  whole  house  was  ransacked,  includ-

number  of  valuables  were  taken.  It  is

at  Black  Hawk  Point,  Colorado] 
Two  children  were  born  of  this 
union,  Mary  Montana,  now  Mrsi 
James  C,  Savery,  and  Albert  Moog, 
wht<  *»»*•  both  -*iew  living  at  Long

V>.  Virginia  City,  Montana,  in  1864, 
t*  entire  journey  in  a  stage  coach 
and  carrying  a  baby  in  her  arms. 
From  Virginia  City  they  went  to 
Silver  Bow  where  Mr.  Moog  opened 
a    rrocery    store. 


In  1866  they  took  up  the  fTrit 
homestead  in  Deer  Lodge  Valley 
where  Mr.  Moog  was  associated 
with  Conrad  Kohrs  in  the1  stock

an  .invalid  until  .the  time  of  her 
death.

THE   SCHNEIDERS       107 
LUTHER  A.  BARNARD  (1835-1883)  (8.7) 
Miner,  rancher,  first  postmaster  in  Warm  Springs,   Mont., 
b.  1835,  in  Chautau- 
qua County,  N.Y.,  to 
Martin  M. ,  Elizabeth 
(Benedict)   Barnard; 
m.  on  Sep.  8,   1869, 
to  Mary  Schneider  in 
Deer  Lodge ;  c .   Lee , 
May      (Henderson) , 
Allen,   d.  April   4, 
188  3,  Butte,  Mont. 

Luther ' s    father , 
attracted  by  liberal 
offers  of  land  from  the  government,  moved  his  family  of   eight 
children   to  Wisconsin  in  1847.   Luther  and  Wayne   left   the 
family  farm  in  1866,  setting  out  for  Montana  in  a  train  of   75 
wagons.  They  encountered  no  Indian  trouble  but  lost  several 
men  and  animals  crossing  swollen  rivers. 

When  they  reached  Butte,  one  Montana  history  recounts, 

her  inhabitants  did  not  number  150  and 
luxuriant  grass  fully  two  feet  high  stood 
where  now  her  principal  streets  are  filled 
with  the  busy  tides  of  life  and  trade. 

Ironically,   Wayne   (1846-1919)   became   a  wealthy   and 

influential   citizen  because  Luther  traded  him  a  mining   claim 

for   a   ranch.   The   claim  paid  off  more   than   $500,000.

In  the  Butte  cemetery,  where  both  reside,  Luther  has  a 
modest  plaque,  Wayne,  a  2-foot-tall  headstone.  But  Luther 
found  good  fortune  in  one  respect.  The  ranch  that  he  acquired 
bordered  one  owned  by  widow  Mary  Moog,  whom  he  married.

THE   SCHNEIDERS    109 


Recollection*  of  early-day  Butte 
crowd  f  ist  on  the  memory  of  George 
P.  Porter,  former  state  auditor,  as 
he  reads  the  Standard's  "Echoes" 
page.  Among  his  contributions  are 
the  following: 

"When  I  waj  a  boy  In  Butte  Jim 
Orton  had  a  jacic  knife  that  was 
the  envy  of  all  his  playmates.  The 
knife  was  one  of  Jim's  favorite 
wagers — the  icr.ife  against  C — the 
pr:ce  he  had  paid  for  It.  One  Sun- 
day he  offered  to  make  a  bet  with 
Abe  Cohen  that  he  could  not  run 
to  old  Silver  Bow  and  back  In  two 
hours. 

Abe  put  up  the  12  against  the 
knife.  I  wa.ir.ed  to  see  Abe  win.  So 
I  went  along  as  coach.  Abe  wen: 
good  en  the  way  out,  but  when  we 
reacned  Silver  Bow  his  feet  were 
badly  blistered.  Determined  to  win 
the  kmfe  ac  all  hazards  he  decided 
to  run  barefooted.  Dashing  along 
at  top  speed  over  the  rough  road  he 
suffered  several  bad  stone-bruises. 
Grit  to  the  backbone  he  slipped  on 
his  shoes,  clenched  his  teeth  and 
pushed  onward.  I  did  what  I  could 
to  help  him.  Just  north  of  the 
school  of  Mines  site  I  decided  to 
make  a  try  against  time  on  my  own 
hook.  I  got  in  Just  one  minute 
ahead  of  the  time  limit.  Abe.  crip- 
pled as  he*was.  made  it  only  one 
minute  late.  Abe  lost  his  $2  and  I 
didn't  win  anything,  but  we  cured 
Jim  Orton  of  betting  his  prized 
knife.  If  Abe's  feet  had  been  in 
better  condition  we  both  could  have 
easily  beaten  that  two-hour  limit " 


Referring    to    Tom    Coberly's    re- 
mark   that   he    was  one    of    Butte's 
early-day   arrivals   and  qualified   to 
rank   In*   the   same   class   as    Porter 
and  Cohen  he  says:     "The  Porters 
were  In   Butte  In   1864.     My  sister, 
Grace,  was  bom  In  the  Deer  Lodge 
valley,    at    the    place    now    cailed 
StU2rt,    In    1865.     My    parents    re-

!who  was  possessed  of  many  traits  which

his  every  act  to  be  prompted  by  a  noble 
impulse.  He  leaves  a  mother,  Mrs.  L.  A.

"FIVE  HORSEMEN*  RETURN. 

It  was  with  much  pleasure  that  Mon- 
tanans  learned  yesterday  that  the  famous 
"Four  Horsemen  of  the  Madison,"  aug- 
mented by  their  noted  companion,  Herbert 
Hoover,  former  President  of  the  United 
States,  will  return  next  week  to  the  Treasure 
state.  For  the  past  three  years  now  the  re- 
nowned quartet  of  Montana  old-timers  has 
had  the  pleasure  of  entertaining  Mr.  Hoo- 
ver. He  has  become  one  of  them  and  the 
party  has  actually  become  the  "Five  Horse- 
men." 

There  is  a  long  standing  friendship  be- 
tween these  gentlemen  who  take  so  much 
pleasure   each   year   from   whipping   Mon- 


tana's famous  stream  and  talking  over  old 
times.  For  35  years  W.  D.  Thornton,  Charles 
3.  Henderson,  Ben  E.  Calkins  and  Malcolm 
QUlls  have  gathered  at  Mr.  Thornton's 
lodge,  principally  to  fish.  Their  life  work 
has  taken  them  Into  widely  separated  chan- 
nels of  endeavor  and  yet  when  they  gather 
at  the  Thornton  lodge  they  meet  on  a  com- 
mon ground,  the  love  of  angling  for  the  "big 
ones."  Into  this  congenial  group  for  the 
past  three  seasons  has  come  Mr.  Hoover, 
who  Is  probably  the  most  famous  of  all  the 
fishing  Presidents  the  nation  has  known. 
All  politics  aside,  Montanans  take  great 
Joy  on  the  occasion  of  again  playing  host 
to  Mr.  Hoover  besides  the  famous  four  whom 
we  claim  as  our  own.  Their  summer  visits 
have  become  a  saga  of  the  Treasure  state.

This,  we  believe,  was  the  sister  who  emigrated  from 
Vasbeck  to  America  with  Mary  Schneider  (Barnard) . 

Jeanette  lived  in  Iowa  in  the  early  1860s  (as  did  William 
Schneider) ,  and  after  marrying  harness-maker  Charles 
Bickenbach  in  Burlington,  Iowa,  in  1862,  she  and  her  husband

hunter  before  leaving  Minnesota,  scon  re- 
gained his  prowess,  as  game  wa^  plentiful  ani 
deer  and  wild  cats  were  often  added  to  the 
small  game  which  fell  to  his  rif.e.  Ke  aiso 
trapped    foxes   and    ki'.ied    many   rattlesnake-. 

He  later  acquired  a  few  burros,  became 
expert  at  parking  and  stayed  nn  at  Henn:ger's 
for  three  years,  much  improved  ir  health  and 
by  this  time  a  confirmed  mountaineer.

ow,  renltd  on  the  lard  for  him- 


self, and  leaving  Henniger's  built  a  ;m  .11 
board  cabin  near  what  is  now  known  a>  ld:e 
Hour  Junction  or  Turnout  14,  the  first  Half- 
wax  House.  I  am  not  sure  of  the  date  h„t 
recall  that  he  was  living  there  the. year  oi  Cap 
Henniger's  death  in  1  S°4. 

A  bullet  hole  through  the  door  often  aroused 
the  interest  of  visitors.  It  w-as  made  bj  train 
robbers  known  as  the  Juhn-on  G.inj  who. 
after  holding  up  a  Southern  Pacific  train  at 
Roscoe,  in  the  San  Fernando  Valley.  pa>sed 
the  cabin  on  their  way  to  a  hide-out  in  the 
mountain--.  Luckily,  George  had  cone  to  town 
tor  supplies  and   didn't   meet   the  desperado.- 

but  found  their  calling  card  on  his  return. 

While  the  Toll  Road  was  being  built  and 
improved,  George  packed  water  and  supplies 
for  the  workmen  and  on  one  trip  his  burros 
were  stampeded  by  a  female  mountain  lion 
with  two  cubs. 

About  1897,  he  started  the  larger  house 
farther  ud  the  road  which  soon  became  known 


as  Schneider's  Camp  or  the  Half-way  House. 
This  was  quite  an  undertaking  as  his  health 

Trails  magazine  piece  on  mountain  man  George  Schneider 
1912),  William's  son  and  operator  of  Mount  Wilson  camp 


was  not  the  be-t  and  he  had  little  monev  to 
work  with.  It  took  a  whole  summer  to  pack 
in  the  material  on  burro  back  and  considerable 
ingenuity  to  negotiate  that  crooked  trail  with 
glass  doors,  six  foot  windows,  brick  for  the 
ch;mne\  and  finally  the  successful  transporting 
of  the  24  foot  timbers  which  today  support  the 
front  porch.  Swivel  pack  saddles  were  de- 
vised, with  rollers  on  winch  to  slide  the  long 
timbers  back  and  forth,  sometimes  far  out 
over  the  canyon  at  sharp  turns  of  the  trail. 

The  house,  two  storie>  high,  with  a  two 
story  porch  on  three  sides  was  completed 
about  lo'9S,  and  here,  with  the  assistance  of 
h.s  sister.  Mrs  G'pelin,  he  served  lunches  and 
soft  drinks  and  rented  rooms  to  tho»e  who 
traveled  the  trail.  As  work  on  the  toll  road 
progressed,  large  crews  of  workmen  we-e 
camped  there  and,  at  times,  groups  of  fire 
fghters  who  had  been  hastily  recruited  in  the 
valley  to  fight  several  mountain  fires. 

At  the  opening  of  the  deei  season  it  was  the 
headquarters  for  hunters  who  knew  Sci.neidt: 
as  a  great  hunter  h:mse!t.  I  can  remember 
them  well,  shooting  at  the  mark  and  talking 
guns,  their  favorite  target,  a  black  frying  pan. 
hung  in  the  center  of  the  white  rock  slice 
near  Buzzard's  Roo^r.  and  400  yards  away. 
It  took  a  good  shot  to  hit  the  pan  and  spirts 
of  dust  told  when  the\  missed. 

As  the  road  was  widened,  mule  and  burro 
trains  gave  way  to  horse  drawn  vehicles  and 
astronomers  and  scientists  came  from  afar  to 
the  observatory  on  Mount  Wilson,  stopping 
for  refreshment  at  the  Half-way  Hou-e.  Per- 
haps the  must  noted  of  these  visitors  was  the 
great  Iron  Ma-ter  himself,  Andrew  Carnecie. 
whose  millions  have  since  made  permanent 
provision  for  the  Mount  \Vii>on  Observatory 
and  its  staff. 

On  moonlight  nights,  especially  Saturd.i>s. 
there  were  parties  oi  hikers  arriving  at  all 
hours.  It  was  quite  the  thing  to  go  up  by 
moonlight  and  I  noticed  that  many  of  these 
folk  were  from  a  distance  or  from  abroad, 
while  on  the  other  hand,  many  who  have  lived 
long  in  this  vicinity  have  never  been  up  the 
mountain. 

George  Schneider's  Half-way  House  was 
popular  with  mountain  folk  and  many  are 
these  who  recall  it  with  pleasant  memories. 
After  2bout  a  dozen  years  his  health  failed 
and  he  came  to  his  mother's  home  in  Pasadena 
where  he  died  in  1912  at  the  age  of  48.    Thus

passed  the  last  and  perhaps  the  youngest  of 
the  mountain  pioneers  who  built  trails  and 
cabins,  developed  water  and  helped  to  make 
our  mountains  accessible  to  the  public. 

The  house  which  he  built  at  such  a  sacrifice 
of  strength  and  under  such  difficulties  is  the 
only  one  standing  of  seven  buildinzs  which,  at 
one  time,  stood  along  the  Mount  Wilson  road. 

On  the  east  bank  of  Eaton's  Canyon,  at  the 
foot  of  the  old  toll  road,  stood  the  first  Toll 
House.  Dew  Drop  Inn,  and  just  above,  where 
the  road  turned  east,  was  a  corrugated  iron 
storehouse.  Next  came  Henniger's  house,  long 
ago  replaced,  then  the  Schneider  cabin  at  Idle 
Hour  Junction  and  just  above  it,  the  Half- 
wav  House. 


About  a  mile  below  the  summit,  in  the 
saddle  between  Mount  Wilson  and  Mwunt 
Harvard,  many  old-timers  will  remember 
St.'el's  Camp,  later  known  as  Martin's  Camn. 
which  was  built  before  the  hotel  building':  on 
the  peak.  Then  a  little  storehouse,  farther 
up.  for  the  West  Fork  Resorts  and  lastly  the 
old  log  Casino,  southwest  of  the  present  hotel. 
All  are  now  gone  e.vcept  the  Hill-'™ a;  House 
and  the  toll  road  itself  is  a  thing  of  the  past, 
replaced  by  the  new  high-gear  highway  from 
Angeles  Cre<t.  It  is  said  that  the  Count) 
will  widen  and  improve  the  old  road  to  Hen- 
niger's Flats  which,  if  true,  is  welccme  news 
to  us  all,  but  the  old  Mount  Wilson  Trail 
and  the  Toll  Road  which  replaced  it  will 
soon  be  only  memories,  passing  out  with  tho=e 
who  built  and  loved  them.

MRS.  MATILDA  SCHNEIDER  COPELIN   Remembers: 

.  .  .  "Half-Way   House"   Her   Brother   Operated 

Mrs.  Matilda  Copelin,  who  lives  at  83  years  of  age  in  the  Pasadena  Home 
for  the  Aged  remembers  clearly  the  events  of  two  adventurous  years  —  1897 
and  1898  —  which  she  spent  with  her  brother,  George  Schneider,  while  he 
built  the  Half-Way  House  on  what  became  the  Mt.  Wilson  Toll  Road.  The 
two-story  frame  house  stood  on  stilts  against  an  embankment  on  a  160  acre: 
timber  claim  that  her  brother  had  acquired  on  the  southern  slope  of  Mount 
Wilson.  Mrs.  Copelin  recalls,  —  "I  put  on  all  the  laths  where  I  could  reach  and 
painted  all  of  the  floors." 

After  the  toll  road  was  completed  in  1891,  Half-Way  House  or  Schneider's 
Camp,  became  a  stop-over  for  hikers  and  horseback  riders  who  were  makingi 
the  nine-mile  trek  from  Altadena  to  the  top  of  Mt.  Wilson.  In  summer  its  cool 
porches  and  rooms  welcomed  hikers  who  had  tramped  the  four  hot  and  dusty 
miles  from  the  toll  house,  which  was  located  on  Foothill  Boulevard  east  oft 
Allen  Avenue. 

All  of  the  materials  for  the  Half -Way  house  were  packed  in  on  two  burros. 
George  Schneider  rigged  up  pack  saddles  with  rollers  which  enabled  the  saddles 
to  move  as  the  burros  made  the  sharp  turns  in  the  ascent,  and  allowed  the  long 
planks  to  jut  fai  out  over  the  steep  canyons.  Mrs.  Copelin  traveled  the  narrow 
trail  by  horseback,  muleback  or  on  a  burro,  and  sometimes  she  hiked,  too. 
"I  never  used  a  saddle,"  she  says,  "only  a  blanket  strapped  onto  the  animal." 

After  Mrs  Copelin  married  and  settled  in  Pasadena,  her  brother  continued 
to  play  host  to  weary  wayfarers  at  the  Half -Way  House.  His  most  distinguished 
visitor  probably  was  Andrew  Carnegie  on  a  trip  to  see  the  telescope  his  money 
had  financed.  When  her  brother  left  the  Half-Way  House  to  Mrs.  Copelin  at 
his  death  in  1912,  she  kept  it  open  at  times  by  renting  it. 

In  time  the  toll  road  was  smoothed  out  for  motorists  who  did  not  object  to 
its  steep  ascent.  But  eventually  —  just  as  it  had  supplanted  the  old  Wilson 
Trail  —  the  road  was  forgotten  by  motorists  who  spun  along  the  Angeles  Crest 
Highway  to  the  top  of  Mount  Wilson.

Family   lore 

says    that   Al ' s 

older  sister  Mary 

was   so  concerned 

about   the  virtue 

of    a    "French 

woman"   that   she 

took   the   train 

to   New   York  to 

check  her  out  with 

her  sister,   Marie 

Antoinette. 

Therese  later 

lectured  at   the 

Ebell  Theater  and 

was  honored  by  the 

French    for   her 

service   in  World 

War    I      (see

Barely   5   feet   tall,  this  sister   of  Therese   came   to 

America   in  1900,  meeting  her  future  husband  aboard  the   ship, 

according  to  family  lore.

The  Jordans  spent  their  summers  in  the  Adirondacks  (near 
Lake  Placid,  the  site  of  the  1980  Winter  Olympics) ,  where 
Daniel  practiced  his  hobby  of  amateur  photography. 

One  family  mystery:  Marie  Antoinette  and  her  sister  Therese 
occasionally  added  the  title,  de  1'Archerie,  to  their  last 
names.  Francois  Jordan  believes  that  "this  was  a  little  joke 
the  sisters  had  together."  The  title  translates  roughly  as 
"place  where  you  keep  your  bows  and  arrows."

Army  in  the  150th  ("Buckeye")  Regiment,  Penn.,  Volunteers.  A 
regiment  history  recounts  one  scene  from  Gettysburg: 

"When  Adjutant  Ashhurst  gave  the  order  to  fall  back,  Bell, 
just  promoted  as  lieutenant  in  Company  H,  protested  to  me 
against  the  retreat,  saying: 

•••Adjutant,  it  is  all  damned  cowardice;  we  have  beaten 
them  and  will  keep  on  beating  them  back.'"
