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.
