P a g e 8 G h o s t T o w n s a n d H i s t o r y o f M o n t a n a N e w s l e t t e r grounds could not have been imagined by a writer of fiction than that of John and Nan.” "After eight years of schooling, she had been employed first as a housekeeper and then as a parlor maid for a total of sixteen years. The desert climate, the sagebrush, and cacti of Montana must have seemed a strange environment compared to the lush green hills of England aglow with a vast number of beautiful flowers. To say nothing of the rattlesnakes!” Photo by Shawn Shawhan "They were married on March 15. I923, at the Methodist Church parsonage in Lewistown. After the ceremony the couple headed back to the homestead in their Model T. Upon arriving, they stored the car in the barn, but even so, the motor froze solid overnight. John had forgotten to drain the water from the radiator. That particular car had cost him $40.” Photo by Shawn Shawhan [to be continued] - Courtesy of Shawn Shawhan, Check out more of his beautiful photos at: https://abyssart.smugmug.com/? fbclid=IwAR0g5qKKbL9fGEjGeQOfnoe7G6IIxGIYn298nyBvXDiHu36eR34AqgCzA4 My/Donor Information: SUBSCRIBE TO THE GHOST TOWNS AND HISTORY OF MONTANA NEWSLETTER!
