Cottonwood, Montana Once a Mecca for Surrounding Trade
In the 1880s Cottonwood lay six miles south of Lewistown with a cross of Cottonwood creek and a pre Lewistown post office. Notables included George J. Bach manager of Lehman & Co. general store and postmaster, Edward Brassey who founded nearby Brassey, and Charles Lehman’s family. The Lehman store, built 1882–84, burned July 19, 1892, destroying a $5,000 building and $20,000 in contents. Bach saved the postoffice records and later handed them to the Lewistown postmaster after 1892 relocation efforts.
