After a brief heart illness William C Orr died last Saturday afternoon. He came to Montana in 1864 and partnered with P H Poindexter building a large cattle and ranching operation in Beaverhead valley.

He leaves a widow and six sons, and an estate valued around 100000 dollars. A 50 year Mason, his funeral services were held with grand tributes and a Masonic burial.
