Dusting Off the Old Ones From Pioneer Files
Notes from Big Timber covered events from late November to December 1921. Visitors Doc Yerkes from Boulder station and local residents Dick Armstrong, Floyd Bailey, Ross West, and Guy Curtis returned from a second Box canyon hunt. A Thanksgiving window by Bailey & Lamb impressed, while a Post Office staff shakeup moved Mildred Dean to retirement and Gordon McLean into the vacancy. The first basketball game of the season saw the Home team lead early before the high school team surged to a 23 9 10 win. Other items include marriages, births, school prizes, weather notes, and local business, ranch, and road anecdotes.
