Notes:

Excerpt from letter from Bill and Mary Ellen Slosson: " Stiles R. Slosson was born in Zumbrota MN in 1863. He was a very distinguished looking man. He had a Van Dyke beard and he always wore spats and usually a beaded Indian vest. He married Persis Firman, daughter of Leroy and Helen Brown Firman in 1888 in Chicago. They had four sons, Roy, Henry, Stiles and Albert Laurie. Roy was born in Chicago and the other three boys were born in Jetmore, Kansas. The Slossons and Leroy Firman sold their property in Kansas and moved to Montana City, Montana. It was just a dot on the map between Helena and Boulder and the boys had to go to Boulder to high school. Laurie, Bill's father, was in the same class as Anna Larson, daughter of Nels and Agda Olson Larson of Boulder and they were married in 1918 in Butte, Montana. Bill's Larson grandfather was a rancher. He homesteaded the ranch in 1890 and Bill's cousin, Don Larson is still on the property."
