She was one of six ch i Idren born to Daniel and Josephine{Steen) Wolfe. The Wolfe fami Iy moved to Chester in 1 933. Anna ·Mae attended school in Chester through her junior year, then transferred to Woodland Hi lis, Cal ifornia where she graduated from high school in 1944. She returned to Montana to attended nursing school at Bozeman and Great Falls. On March 23rd, 1946 she married Albert M. Hanson at Great Falls. They Iived and worked on the Si Warrington farm south of Chester for several years. In 1950 they 'I.~ • ..,-~ built a home in Chester and have Iived here since. Albert farmed in the south Chester community and Anna Mae worked as a farmwife and homemaker for their two children. Anna Mae's health had been relatively good over the years. Recently, she developed some abdominal problems and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. For the past week she had been a patient at the Liberty County Hospital in Chester, and she passed away there on Sunday morning., October 13th, 1996 • She was 70 years old. Anna Mae held memberships at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, the Royal Neighbor's of America, and the V.F.W. Auxil iary. She enjoyed working on family histories and was a charter member of the local "Broken Mountain's Genealogical SOCiety:' She I iked photography and had participated in the "HiLine Shutter Bugs" organization. Other hobbies included bowl ing, flower gardening and reading. Anna Mae collected coins, salt­ and pepper shakers, cut glass and antique dishes. She enjoyed writing poetry and artistic painting. Probably her greatest love was participating in the lives of her grandkids! Last, but not least, Anna Mae was a dedicated caregiver and best friend to her mother over all these years. Anna Mae is survived by her husband of 50 years, Albert of Chester; a son and daughter-in­ law, Dennis and Glenda Hanson of Chester; a daughter and son-in-law, Sheila and Bruce Peterson of Fort Peck; four grandch i Idren, including Heather, Heidi, Zak and Lindsey; her mother, Josie Wolfe of Chester; a sister, Maxine Wigen of Chester; four brothers, Delmar, Kenneth, Dean and Roger Wolfe, all of Chester; and numerous nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her father. Funeral services were at 11 :00 a. m. (Wednesday, Oct. 16th,1996) at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Chester with Reverend Tom Dunham officiating. Juanita Wardell serve as organist and Anna Mae's niece, Darlene Abein, sang "Angels Among Us" and "The Lord's Prayer". The congregation sang "The Old Rugged Cross". Pallbearers were her brothers, Delmar, Kenneth, Dean and Roger Wolfe; and friends, Boyd Nealy, Jim Marshall, Gus Fransen and Charley Frey. Ushers were Don Wolfe and Mike Nahrgang. Following burial at the Erickson Cemetery, a luncheon was held at the church. Arrangements by Rockman Funeral Chapel. In memory of Anna Mae we like to share this poem with family and friends. WHAT CANCER CAN'T DO by author unknown Cancer is so limited - It cannot cripple love, It cannot shatter hope It cannot corrode faith It cannot eat away peace It cannot destroy confidence, It cannot ki" friendship, It cannot shutout memories, It cannot si lence courage, It cannot reduce eternal life, It cannot quench the Spirit, It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!!!! JIM HILL AND RAILROAD An ambitious Scotchman. Jim Hi II. had a dream .•.. to carve out of the "western wasteland" an empire of dry land farms and towns every six mi les along his rai Iroad. The rai Iroad came to the Montana borders in 1 881 and to th i s county in 1891. The ra i I s west were started by Mi nneapo lis and Man i toba RR but later it became the Great Northern and Jim Hi II was president. Jim Hill had a sp i r i t of conf i dence wh i ch the workers must have caught from him to be wi II ing to surmount the continuous hardships. During a North Dakota bl izzard, Jim Hi II picked up his "stiff1s" shovel and sent him into the car for hot coffee whi Ie he himself shoveled snow as though driven by steam. They suffered the "clouds of mosquitoes that set oxen to bellowing in pain and horses leaping from their harnesses, the bl istering sun, rattlesnakes, green scum on the water resulting in dysentery, snow sleet and sleeping in dirty rag tents, II so told Lee Howard, who experienced it all. Their goal was a mi Ie a day or Jim Hi II got a new slave boss. Is it any wonder they were called "stiffs?" At times the construction crews were 8,000 men and 3,300 teams for grading. Laying the track and bUi Iding bridges called for another 225 teams and B50 men. I t was est i mated over a ha I f mill ion bushe I s of oats were shipped from Minot for the horses. Jim Turner, an early rancher along the Marias, provided the meat for the crew whi Ie the rai Is were laid through Chester and Galata. After the rai Is were laid the depots and post off ices "blossomed out I ike . crocous in spr i ng. II - 4'+- UNITED STATES MAIL For the first sett I ers, the mail wou I d come from Ft. Benton once or tw i ce a year. James Hami Iton and George Bourne who were in the Sweetgrass Hill s and thought get t i ng rna i I once a year a bus i ness hand i cap, so the first post office in now Liberty County was the Whitlash Post Office. As the homesteaders settled on the sod, women especially,. thought it most isolated if they could not get those letters from home and were wi II ing to give up part of their already small kitchen for a post off ice. Bache I ors wou I d come and check on the irma i I--even though they knew there would be none, but usually were rewarded with a cup of coffee and whatever baking the postmaster was taking out of her oven when the customers came. Homesteader's wives woud walk and "chat" a bit which would break some of the lonel iness of a day on the prairie. Newspapers were shared and probably read several times before the owner picked up his weekly. It was one way to know who was elected United States President and if 'NWI was over. When the mail "stage" began to make its runs, people could ride out into the country with him, ride to town, or have him bring out a I ist of suppl ies and often he was met with a I ist. The stage driver would be given a hot meal or coffee if he felt he could spare the time on his long route. The first stages were with horses; later the Model T and Model A trucks. And all this service for 2 cents a letter. A stage ride from Chester to Gold Butte was $4.00, from Jopl in to Alma $2.00. There were 21 post offices in Liberty County. , . Some post offices I ik.e Alma, Briggs, Selma and Hi II had stores.

How it was eventually solved will be known when this volume is off the press. The pub­ lishers had for a long time felt that a volume of this nature was greatly needed in the county, as a permanent record of the service rendered by Richland county people during the great war. Other partially complete records of the service men had been compiled; Red Cross and Liberty Loan Campaign records were more or less complete; but no attempt had been made to gather all this informa­ tion into one place, or to make it generally available to the public. The pub­ lishers therefore decided to undertake the task, trusting to the generosity of the public for assistance in seeing it through. We shall be fully repaid for our trouble by the knowledge of the ready assistance rendered us wherever we have sought for it, and the knowledge that we have given to the people of the county a work of value to future generations.

  • THE OCCURRENCE of HYPODERMA LARVAE in the SPINAL CANAL of CATTLE » by WABREN O
    THE OCCURRENCE OF HYPODERMA LARVAE IN THE SPINAL CANAL OF CATTLE » By WABREN O. HABERMAN, instructor of veterinary science and economic ento- mology. BANNER BILL MORGAN, associate professor of veterinary science, and ROBERT J. DICKE, assistant'¿ professor of economic entomology, Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station INTRODUCTION Little is known of the migratory route of Hypoderma bovis (li.) larvae in cattle. The absence of larval traces from the point of skin penetration to the various positions from which the larvae have been recovered has made this problem difficult. The occurrence of Hypo- derma larvae in the spinal canal of cattle has been recorded on numer- ous occasions since its discovery by Hinrichsen (4) in 1888 in Germany. However, few observations have been made in North America. The purpose of this paper is to present our observations on Hypoderma larvae in the spinal canal of cattle killed in Wisconsin. Prior to the work of Laake (IS) on the differentiation of Hypoderma lineatum (Villers) and H. bovis, investigators were uncertain about the identity of the first-stage larvae. As suggested by Bishopp et al. (i), many of the previous reports dealing with the occurrence of H. bovis in the esophageal region must be considered in error. Consequently, the identity of larvae in the spinal canal mentioned in reports prior to 1921 is questionable. Hinrichsen (4, 5, 6) apparently found the first stage larvae of Hypoderma bovis in the spinal canal. He reported finding up to 20 larvae in a single animal. Of 25 animals examined, 40 percent had larvae in the spinal canal. A later examination of 14 animals revealed that 28 percent were infested.
