Notes:

Edmond J. Violette was born in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, in 1885. His parents were John Violette and Anna Berenek. He was the youngest of three children. His brother died when he was six years old and his father when he was fifteen. His two sisters, Virginia Duax and Melvina Hall, lived in Wisconsin and both are dead.
Ed Violette came to Deer Lodge in 1909 when the Milwaukee Railroad was being built, and he worked for the railroad for many years. We met in Deer Lodge when I lived with my family in the McBurney Hotel. We were married in Missoula, Montana in 1910.
I, Mabel E. Barnden, was born in Avon, Montana in 1891, and lived there until 1902, when the family moved to Deer Lodge. I went to schools in Avon and in Deer Lodge, and went to the College of Montana for two years. The College of Montana was one of the early day colleges and was closed down when State Colleges were established. It opened again, as a private school in early 1900. It was the oldest college in Montana and was located in Deer Lodge.
After our marriage we lived for short times in Ponderay, Idaho, Spokane and Lamont Washington. Sherman was born in Lamont in 1911. We moved back to Deer Lodge in 1912, and James, Iris, Glenn and Eddie were born there. All of them went to the Deer Lodge schools, and Sherman and James Graduated from the Deer Lodge High School.
In 1929, the family moved to St. Ignatius and lived on a ranch there. Glenn and Iris graduated from the St. Ignatius High School. Eddie graduated from Polson High School, after our move there in 1940.
Ed died in Polson in 1945. After his death I worked at the Court House, and in 1952, after James Harbert's retirement, I was elected Clerk of the District Court for two terms. I retired in 1959. James Harbert had been Clerk of the Court from the time Lake County was formed.
Our house in Polson was sold in 1959, and I went to California, and lived in Santa Cruz for six years. On a visit with Eddie and family in 1966, in Boulder, Colorado, we looked over the Golden West Manor, apartments for senior citizens, and have lived there ever since, July 1st, 1966.

Notes:

DOB: 1900 Montana Census has May 1864

On his daughter Marguerite's birth certificate his middle name was typed Cronk then crossed out and written in was Conrad. Same document gave his birth place as Adelaide, Australia

Was a Sheriff


Description: James Conrad Barden's father was James Henry Barnden b. 1833. I believe he died in a mining accident in Australia in 1864. JCB's mother was Margarethe Schimpf b. 1835 in Germany d. 1922 in Avon MT. She remarried a man named Trottmann and that is the name on her grave in Avon MT. JCB was in infant when James Henry died. Margarethe took the baby from Australia back to Germany and then at some point moved to Montana. I also saw a note re: JCB's daughter Mabel (my grandmother) She was indeed the county clerk for many years. However, her husband Edmond worked for the railroad and was not the sheriff. Mabel's father JCB was the one who was the sheriff.
