The family came from Germany in about 1728. There were two sons in the family; my mother's line came from one, Pete's from the other. After he and Rose married,they lived in Zortman for while, then they moved to<br /> Bellevue, Idaho, (another mining town) where they had two daughters, Lucille and Helen. At some point, Rose left by herself and moved to Seattle,with her daughters, and then to California, where a sister lived. She briefly returned to Montana in the 1930's, and she and Pete "renewed their marriage vows". Apparently, that situation was short lived and she again returned to the Los Angeles area. Somewhere along the way, she assumed the name of Arlington, because she was dissatisfied with her life as a Zortman She and her daughters and grandson (Helen's son) all shared a household together, but it was not always a happy situation, according to grandson, Richard Fugette. Rose and a daughter are buried in the cemetery in San Luis Obispo, Calif. Richard is survived by a daughter. We attended the reburial of Pete in 2005 in Zortman, along with other relatives; his great granddaughter <br />survives.<br /><br />Mary Hackettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2371607735808645509.post-9883837610189734882013-12-30T23:09:56.622-07:002013-12-30T23:09:56.622-07:00 I was one of the Masons who returned Pete from ... I was one of the Masons who returned Pete from Big Timber to Zortman, Our crew spent the night at a Big Timber Motel and took his coffin into the laundry room from the back of a pickup for fear of being stolen until we could exhume Pete the next day. I drove Pete and his new coffin to Zortman while our dig crew slept from a long and hard day of digging and recovery. Our crew was John Kalal and daughter Hanah, Dr. Jim Curtis, D.V.M., Michael Wlodkowski and me, Dennis Broadbrooks. Still sorry to the cemetery workers for leaving them with their stuck tractor in the Big timber Cemetery, tractor almost sunk out of sight. What an adventure for all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
