In our quest to discover information on my Fergus County, Montana ancestors, we kept running into grave markers and newspaper articles on members of the ABEL family... we have wondered if there is any connection to Deb's ABEL ancestors... that was until I found this photo in the history archives today...
This is a party thrown by Miss. Abel (the one in the dark dress in front of the fireplace mantle), that was in the local newspaper!
The only other photo that I found that struck me funnier, is this photo of the police shooting class... Rule #1 ALWAYS KEEP YOUR MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, Rule #2 KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF OF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT, Rule #3 NEVER POINT YOUR GUN AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO DESTROY... It makes you wonder what the officer on the right did to piss everyone off!
Seriously, we finished our research today... We have been so blessed by the incredibly wonderful people here in Fergus County who have helped us. I seriously thought the south was friendly (and they are), but the folks of Lewistown do not have to play second fiddle to anyone! We are enjoying a fantastic lighting storm tonight... our car is getting a much needed bath and Montana is getting some much needed rain! Tomorrow we are heading to Virginia City and then we return to Utah to see our family again before we head home.
