Passing of the Montana Pioneers

Bogart born in Ontario fifty years ago rose from Missoula clerical work to mayor and state legislator, later serving as county clerk and recorder before Montana counties were reorganized. The article notes his prominence in western Montana politics and his long career in public service.
