Elbert Smith is Sentenced to the Penitentiary

Elbert Smith, recently found guilty of horse stealing and altering of brands, was sentenced by Judge Gamble in the district court Monday to a term of not less than two nor more than four years in the state penitentiary at Canon City. Judge Gamble, in pronouncing sentence declared to Smith that he believed the jury had returned a just verdict. Smith claimed from the start that he was innocent and that, when the crime of stealing one of the horses was fastened upon him, he said that he took that one, mistaking it for one of his own. The animals belonged to August Brieg, who formerly made his home with the Smiths on the Laramie River, and the family has been known there for many years. The prisoner's father, Joe Smith, now resides in Fort Collins. Elbert has a wife and one child, about three years of age.

 

 

 

In 1910 Forsythe precinct, Rosebud County, Montana, M.C. Smith is 23, married but no spouse.  She has daughters O. Smith 4, born in Colorado and V. Smith two months old, born in Montana.

Mary Catherine Smith, born at Sterling Colorado, widowed, daughter of James P. Hennessy and Emma Nora Brasket, married Charles Maurice Davis, both of Forsyth, Montana June 5, 1911. She was 23, so she would have been born about 1888.  Marriage was recorded in Miles City, Custer County, Montana.

Charles Davis, whose death was briefly mentioned in the last issue of The Mail, was born at Sherwood, Branch county, Michigan, Nov. 28th, 1862, and departed this life at the home near Langdon Oct. 13th, 1924, aged 61 years, 10 months and 16 days.

"Deceased was the son of Oscar and Elizabeth Davis and at the age of sixteen moved with the family from Michigan to Minnesota. He was united in marriage with Almira Coy at Silver Creek, Minn., Jan. 1st, 1882. To this union were born seven children, Frank, the eldest, preceded his father to the grave a year ago, on Oct. 22nd, 1923, at Cedro Wooley (sic), Wash. Mr. Davis is survived by his wife and the following children: Floyd E., of Annandale, Mont.; Chas. Morris, who recently returned home from Wyoming; Mrs. Elizabeth Kamhoot of Thurlow, Minn.; Mrs. Mabel Harriman of Greenwood, Neb.; Mrs. Myra Smith of Hamburg, Ia., and Theodore William at home.

"For over a quarter of a century the family of Charles Davis was closely identified with the upbuilding of Eastern Montana, Mr. Davis being a rancher for that period. In 1902, when the eastern half of Montana was divided and Rosebud county organized, Mr. Davis was appointed its first sheriff. He served in that capacity for three years. At that time a rough element of citizenry was prevalent in the mining camps in and near Anaconda and neighboring towns, and Sheriff Davis's fearlessness and zeal for upholding the law proved a valuable asset to the new county of Rosebud. After holding the office of Sheriff for three years Mr. Davis was elected county treasurer of Rosebud county in 1905, and served in that capacity for one term.

"The family moved to Southern Missouri in 1911 and to Hamburg, Iowa, in 1915. In 1919 they came to Atchison county, settling on their farm of 240 acres southeast of Landon.

"For twenty-five years Mr. Davis had been a member of the Masonic fraternity. Testimony of his friends tells of his purpose of right living and right doing, confirmed by the statement of a member of his family, 'Those who knew him best loved him most.'

"The funeral service was held Wednesday, Oct. 15th, at the home, by Rev. C. F. Jenkins, interment taking place at Hunter cemetery."  # 67993135

Oral Interview March 8, 1979

Edna Denham Interviewer: Alice Clark

Edna Denham B. October 23, 1907  Albany, Wyoming

Husband: Arthur Denham

Deceased parents: John and Rosell McLennan

Well, I was born up on a ranch out of Albany, in Albany County, Wyoming. My mother was Rosell Brasket McLennan. And Dad was John McLennan. He was born in Scotland and was brought here when he was three years old, to the United States. He was a freighter from the north. I think Minnesota. And then that was when he met my mother, and they were married in Nebraska. And they moved to Laramie. See, Albany is only about 45 miles out of Laramie. We lived on the ranch there until I was about five. Then we moved to Laramie where I went to school most of the time that I went to school. I finished school out in a little logging camp in California. Tehachapi, California. Then later, wemoved back to Wyoming and there I met Art and we were married here in Fort Collins, in 1926.
