Historical NoteReturn to Top
Albert S. Cole, his wife Rilla and children Cora, Essa and Roy were a farm family living along Dry Creek, a few miles north of Belgrade, Montana. They arrived at this location sometime before 1900 (listed in 1900 census), and farmed considerable acreage as shown by early Gallatin County property owners maps.
