Ninety five year old Col William Bartlett celebrated
Col William F Bartlett of Butte marked his 95th birthday yesterday with a quiet routine. He arrived in Montana in 1842, moved from New York in 1804, and settled in Virginia City where a $500,000 yearly ore business existed. He credits steady nerves and good sleep, recalls early territorial days, and continues in favorable health despite advancing age. He emphasizes a simple life and regular walks, with guests at a small dinner in his honor. Regular Friday temple service noted and contempt cases postponed.
