  • Notes 
    • DOB: Poitras
      The family was ranching not far from Missoula soon after their arrival on a place described as 4 ½ miles from Missoula, near Grant Creek. Mrs. Morin’s brothers, A. J. and Fred Violette, later became the proprietors of a family ranch that attracted a great deal of government attention in the days of prohibition. Large quantities of illegal brew, described as part of a great “whiskey ring,” were seized at the ranch in 1920. “More than 800 gallons of corn mash, together with 19 50-pound sacks of yellow corn meal and a barrel of malted syrup were found.”[4] Also seized were cases and sacks of bonded Canadian Club whiskey valued at an estimated $6,700. A 100 gallon still was also found, while a sleeping Pete Morette was arrested nearby. Morette claimed he was making vinegar when was awakened. The case was especially notable because Fred Violette was a candidate for the office of Missoula County Treasurer at the time. Convicted after an appeal in 1922, for violating federal prohibition and internal revenue laws, Fred Violette and Pete Moret (sp) were sentenced to 13 months in Leavenworth by Judge Bourquin.
