Pioneers Celebrate Virginia City Reunion Honoring Trail Blazers
A Virginia City reunion for Montana pioneers drew about 350 visitors and many not in the pioneer class. Walsworth of the Anaconda Standard praised Virginia’s hospitality during the banquets hosted by Knights Templar Elks and Royal Arch Masons. Colonel Sanders and George Irvin led speeches, with Irvin lauding press work and Walsworth shaping the highlights. The event spurred plans to hold future reunions in Missoula and Dillon or Bannock, while a new law expanding pioneer eligibility passed amid debate led by De Steele and John Shober, boosting membership for those who arrived before statehood.
