Janet McAdam - Montana 1911


Tom Mason, Lester Baker, and Janet McAdam
Bruffry Ranch above McLeod, MT - 1911

Janet McAdam was born 135 years ago - the 5th of February, 1875 in Westfield Township, Dodge County, MN.  About 1910 she left Minnesota to visit her brother Matthew McAdam, and there she stayed to teach, attend business school, and marry.

I cannot find Tom Mason in the 1910 census, but I did find Lester Baker.  He is listed as living in School District 23 in Sweet Grass County, MT - the 5 year old son of Ralph and Mammie Baker.

In the 1910 census Nettie McAdam is a 35 year old teacher living in School District 43 in Sweet Grass County, MT.  She is a boarder with Philip Crandall family.  The very next family listed in the census is that of Primus A Bruffry - owners of the ranch noted in the photograph!
