Getting Started…

As many know, June Elvira (Ryan) Loomis has a wealth of knowledge and history of the area. she has a collection of photographs that fill a room and stories that go along with every one of them. The best way to see these pictures is to visit June at her home in Brusett, Montana. She is always welcoming folks, old friends and new, to take a look at her collection and maybe learn a thing or two about the people who lived in this country over the past hundred years.

P.S. I am working to get pictures uploaded and labeled. I’m also learning wordpress, so please be patient while I organize all of the pictures. For now, I am just getting them on the website for folks to view. Here is a random sample out of the Loomis file. Next up will be the Ryan family album (and it’s a big family).

Legend has it (according to Elbert) he’s barefoot in the picture as he always was while the other kids all had new shoes. This has not been fact-checked, but we have a team working on it.
