Friday Photo: Doctor Huie Pock

Happy Friday, history buffs! I'll be speaking next week about Montana's Chinese pioneers. It will be a free program at the Montana Historical Society on Wednesday at 10:45. Hope you can make it!

Huie Pock, second from left, was an herbal physician who also operated a store selling Chinese goods in Butte. Pock appears in Butte city directories listed as a physician from 1895 through 1927. His son, Quong Pock Hui, is seated on the stool. The two others are not identified.

  1. There was a collection taken up several years ago by Butte doctors to see that Dr. Pock's grave was propertly marked.
