Descendents of Mary Wells Yates Can Boast Spartan Heritage
by Nina R. Manley, Townsend, MT.
Mary Wells was born in Virginia November 14, 1815. At the age of 17
she married her sister's widower, George Yates. Mr. Yates had three
children by his former wife and needed a mother for them. The Wells
family were strong Baptists who searched the Bible over for a word that
might indicate it was wrong for a sister to marry her brother-in-law
under such circumstances.
Evidently they we re satisfied, for Mary and George were married soon
after and departed for Missouri, where George had left his children while
he returned to Virginia to f etch a new mother for them. The couple rode
all the way through to the Far West, about 1,600 miles, each on a horse
with bedroll tied behind. They live d in Jackson County about two years,
then moved to the Platte Purchase in north-west Missouri, settling near
Platte City. Later they made moves to Nadaway and Andrews Counties,
residing in this area for 15 years.
Nine more child en were born to the family. Apparently the family
was self-sustaining on various farms, although not much is known about
the life of the family during this period.
It was at Gentry, Missouri, in the late 1850's that George died of
typhoid fever. Here Mary buried her husband and began the struggle of the
early Civil War years. Raiders came into northern Missouri and were
shooting s lave owners. The Yates family freed their slaves voluntarily
at about this time.
In 1863, when the news of the gold strike in Montana reached
Missouri, the strong spirit of adventure that moved Mary Wells Yates to
leave her Virginia home again persuaded her to make the long journey to
Montana. By now she was 48 years old, and most of her family were grown,
or nearly so. She said, "Constant discouragement made me leave the land
I
had found a wilderness and for 30 years had made blossom as the rose, so
I prepared to again seek frontier life."
On May 5, 1864, she joined a wagon train, probably at Independence,
accompanied by three of the older boys and driving six shod cows. She was
able to milk the cows, and churned butter in utensils attached to the
wagon as it bumped along over the rocky trail. As the wagon train was
large they had no trouble with Indians.
Mrs. Yates also had fresh eggs on the trip, as she brought along a
number of chickens. Later, she was credited with having been the first to
bring Plymouth Rock chickens into the state of Montana, at the time
Montana Territory.
The first trip was made up the South Platte through old Fort
Kearney, Laramie, Hallek and the Bitter Creek valley, on the California
overland route. Later trips were made by various routes. On some trips
she drove horse or mule teams, but she always insisted that the oxen or
cows we re best.
When she arrived in Virginia City, Montana this first time she was
able to sell the cows at a profit and thus finance another trip back to
Missouri in 1864. This time she brought more of her children, and
instead of coming through the South Pass in Wyoming on her return, she
came up the Missouri River to Fort Benton.
The flat boats were held up close to Ft. Benton by herds of buffalo
crossing the Missouri River, going from their winter range to the ir
summer range. It is said that the buffalo crossed for three days and
nights along 18 miles of the river--a lot of buffalo!
This was only the second of five more such round trips. Mrs. Yates
crossed the plains between Missouri and Montana 13 times. On several of
the later trips Mrs. Yates, now called "Granny" by those who knew
her
best, acted as guide and organized for emigrant p arties.
She first brought all of her relatives and friends from Missouri,
an d any others who wanted to come. Apparently she was acutely aware of
the possibilities for a new life in the northwest, and wa

Sol was wounded by an Indian's arrow on one of the trips from MO to MT.
One morning on the Yellowstone when the stock was being taken down to the
river for watering before starting on the long day, Indians rose out of
t he tulies and attacked the herders. The men on the bluff immediately
fired and drove off the attacking Indians. Sol was wounded in the
leg--the only injury from the attack. Sol managed to jump on the back of
his brother Ben's horse and they returned safely to camp. His leg was
bound and splinted and tie d to the wagon braces. He recovered without
any infirmity of any kind.
For awhile he drove freight from Virginia City to Fort Benton. He
was a wagon boss for George Samples, made on trip for the old Diamond R
Transportation Comp any, and for a long time was in the employ of I.G.
Baker & Company of Fort Benton. Much of his work carried him through
Indian Country and into Canada, but he was embittered against the Indians
and he finally quit teaming at Calgary after he had been warned by Joe
Kipp that the Indians had threatened to k ill him. He returned to Fort
Benton where he was made a deputy by Sheriff Black of Chouteau County.
Yates went to Great Falls when it was first laid out , hauling James
J. Hill and Paris Gibson from Fort Benton to Great Falls and o n various
other trips in the territory. When Cascade County was created, taking
its land primarily from Chouteau, C.P. Downing was appointed Sheriff and
he made Sol one of his deputies. Later he served as city jailer under
the reign of George Streit and John Guerin, and when H.E. Benner was
elected Sheriff Ed Hogan. Because Sol had long ago lost the sight in one
eye and the vision in his other eye was failing, he left the County
service in 1919 and returned to the Gallatin Valley to make his home with
relatives. Soloman Yates, Jr., never married.

Co., MT. He married MARY MARTIN March 21, 1861 in MO. She died Abt. 1920.
G.D. Tribble told of an interesting e vent in the early life of Benjamin
Yates. Soon after his marriage to Mary Martin the Civil War was just
beginning. The Yankees were active in Missouri and were scouting the
country to capture southern sympathizers. They came to "Granny" Yates
home to get young Benjamin, who had just married and was living on the
opposite side of the farm. Not finding Ben, the Yankees skirted the
field where he lived. Granny Yates, in her Stocking feet, cut across the
field, aroused her son and his wife, and they took off. The Yankees
came, inspected their house, found wood and kindling and bed warm, but
their victim h ad vanished. Following that young Benjamin made his way to
the Army of General Sterling Pierce, and sent word back home, "I'm on
fighting Johnny the Yank s didn't get !"
By 1870, Ben Yates and probably his family had came to Montana to help
redeem the west. He was listed in the 1870 Lewis and Clark County,
Montana census (p. 226). Following the Montana stay they were one of the
earliest settlers in Elko, Nevada. Ben and two of his brothers and their
families had migrated there in 1875. Ben entered the teaming business
between Elko and Tuscarora.
they left Nevada in 1901 and moved to California where they stayed for
six years. Ben then returned to Montana, taking up residence in
Radersburg. At the time of his death on June 28, 1928 at age 90 he was
livi ng with his nephew, Joe Stitton at Radersburg. He had been tenderly
cared for in his declining years. Mary had died in 1921 in Cathalmet,
Oregon at age 79. Ben's body was taken to Belgrade on July 1st, and then
to the Dry Creek Baptist Church where a large crowd of relatives and
friends assembled to pay their last respects to this valiant soldier and
pioneer of the west. Reverend R.W. Orr conducted the services and tender
hearts and hands laid the remains to rest in the Dry Creek Cemetery.
The passing of Benjamin Yates due to the infirmities of old age, bring to
mind that none of the Yates family have eve r died of natural causes under
80 years of age. The generations of the Yates family were very numerous
in the Gallatin Valley and all were regarded as noble, industrious
citizens. Benjamin Yates never lived in the Gallatin Valley , but he
often visited his brothers and sisters there and was generally well known
in the valley. At the time of his death two brothers and sister survived
and were residents of Belgrade. They were Sol and George Yates and Mrs.
George Miller.
It is thought that out of all the children born to Ben and Mar y that the
only child to carry the name down was William Solomon Yates. William had
one son, Frank that presented the opportunity. Frank was from Texas and
it is not known if he married and had children. It appears that the name
ended there with this family.

During his youth, Louis Accola attended private school in St. Louis. The
Accola family left Muscatine, Iowa by cove red wagon in the spring of
1866. They were members of a train that included 300 wagons and about
1,000 persons arriving in the Gallatin Valley the fall o f that same year.
The Accola's settled on the West Gallatin about 8 miles west of Bozeman.
The first winter the family lost all its stock except for o ne head.
The next year their crops were destroyed by grasshoppers. As a result of
these hardships, Louis and his father John set out on horseback for
California to seek a better place to live.
They traveled to southern California and Mexico, then decided the country
was better back in Montana and returned to the Gallatin Valley after
about a year. The year following their trip, the Accola family was
visited for two weeks by Samuel Clemens (known as Mark Twain), who was
seeking material for a book.
During the first few years spent on the Gallatin, Louis and his brother
August freighted their produce to Last Chance Gulch, the mining camp at
Helena. While living here the family was visited every year by Chief
Joseph of the Nez Pierce Indians of Idaho, as t hey traveled to and from
their hunting trips on the Musselshell and the Yellowstone.
In the early 1870's Louis and August homesteaded on land in the Pass
Creek area, 25 miles north of Bozeman, where the home ranch is still
located . They also owned and operated ranches in Hardin, MT and
Alberta, Canada.
After Louis and Fannie were married in 1886, they made their home on the
ranch in Pass Creek until 1905 when he retired from active farming and
cattle raising and moved to Bozeman. Their first home was at 402 South
3rd Avenue. Th n in 1910, they purchased a home at 725 Willson Avenue
where Louis resided until his death in 1942.

Local Couple Tell of Narrow Escape
by Mrs. Maurine Haines
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shreve of the TTT Ranch near Kaycee relate what
might have been a harrowing experience which occurred Wednesday of last
week as they were en route to Cheyenne.
Near Glenrock, Wyoming the Shreves came up behind an official car
equipped with a two-way radio and stayed in its wake to the natural
bridge turn-too. At this point two men were seen scuffling in the road.
A truck just ahead of the official and Shreve vehicles came to a sudden
stop as did the patrol car driven by Deputy Sheriff Bill Romer of
Casper. Just as Shreve pulled along side the road he noticed a man
carrying a .22 rifle and a girl running up the road, the latter screaming
at Shreve to let her in. As the Shreve car had not yet come to a
standstill the girl went on and climbed into Romer's car. The man
carry ing the .22 got into the truck.
After the confusion had subsided a little, Mr. and Mrs. Shreve
discovered that they had witnessed the capture of "Maddog" S tarkweather
minutes after he had killed his 11th victim in a wild shooting spree.
The girl attempting to get into Shreve's car, was of course, Carol
Rugate and the man carrying the .22 was Joe Sprinkle of Casper, who
became a hero after wresting the gun from Starkweather.
In relating this story to the Kayce e correspondent, Shreve said that
earlier a black Packard car had passed him along the road, driving at a
high rate of speed and the Packard narrowly escaped colliding with an
on-coming vehicle at the time.
The Shreves stated that had they known they were in the vicinity of
a mad killer, they would have turned around and gone the other way.

82. INES5 MILLER (SOLOMAN JACOB4, EVALINE3 YATES, SOLOMON HILL2,
WILLIAM1) was born February 23, 1904 in Belgrade, Montana, and died October
12, 1977 in Miles City, Montana. She married ROSCOE ALBERT "JACK "
GREENFIELD May 06, 1926 in Hardin, Montana, son of WILLIAM GREENFIELD and ALTA
VANCE. He was born December 30, 1904 in Belleville, Republic Co, Kansas, and
died March 03, 1981 in Miles City, Montana.
(this was taken from a copy of a newspaper clipping, date and publication
unknown, I think it is from the Miles City Star.)
Greenfields mark 50th anniversary
Ines Miller was born in Montana because her grandmother decided t his
was the place for her family to live.
Between 1863 and 1907, Granny Yates, as she was known, made 13 round
trips by covered wagon bringing relatives and friends from Missouri to
Bozeman so they could settle in Montana.
So young Miss Miller was born in Belgrade in 1904 and moved to
Hardin 14 years late r. Three years after that Roscoe Albert "Jack"
Greenfield, age 17, arrived in Hardin from Belleville, Kansas, where he
was born, also in 1904.
In due course the two met and on May 6, 1926, they were married in
Hardin. Two days and fifty years later, on May 8, 1976, they marked
their golden wedding anniversary with a reception at the Episcopal parish
hall.
After the Greenfields were married, he worked for Holly Sugar Co.
but in 1940 he joined the Hardin police department and the next year was
named chief of police there. From 19 44 to 1948 the Greenfields farmed at
Kinsey but he preferred police work and once again became Hardin's police
chief.
In 1962 when Yellowtail Dam was being built, another deputy sheriff
was needed so Greenfield came out of retirement and worked there for five
years.
Mr. and Mrs. Greenfield moved to Billings and then in March, 1972,
came to Miles City to maintain an apartment house their daughter owns.
They lived at 2003 Main.
Here for the reception were a ll eight of their children including
William, Mrs. Howard (Betty) Watts, Chester and Robert,billings; Mrs.
Ralph (Alice) Weyerbacher, Kinsey; Charles, Mil es City; Ray, Kalispell;
and Mrs. Paul (Joan) Koltiska, Sheridan, Wyoming.
Planning for the party was done by Mrs. Charles Greenfield, but all
of the children assisted with the event.
Mrs. Chester Greenfield was in charge of the guest book and Mrs. Ray
Greenfield of the gift table. Assisting with the serving were Mrs.
Robert Greenfield, Mrs. William Greenfield and Mrs. Koltiska.
A lso assisting were Jack Greenfield's sister, Mrs. Otto Seaman,
Lind, Washington; her daughter, Margie Cauvel, Spokane and five
granddaughters, Diana and P am Greenfield, Miles City, Kerri, Denise and
Sherri Greenfield, Billings.
Of the Greenfields' 32 grandchildren, all but 8 were here for the
party along with 2 of their 6 great-grandchildren.
Four brothers of the anniversary couple, Cecil Greenfield, Helena;
Roy Greenfield, Hardin; Edward Miller, Ennis and Wayne Miller,
Radersburg, were also here for the event, all of them except the Helena
man accompanied by their wives. Each of the Greenfield children also had
a wife or husband with them at the party as did Greenfield sister, Mrs.
Seaman.
Others here from out of town for the reception were Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Greenfield, Shepherd; Mr. and Mr. Tom Greenfield, Mr. and Mrs. Alex
Uffelma n and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mills and Mr. and Mrs. Bud
Jensen, all of Hardin; Doris Doney, Lavina; and Mr. and Mrs. Don Wright,
Forsyth; and Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hirsch, Kinsey.
There also were some other Miles Citians among the relatives
attending the event including, Jack Wright, Irene Grant, and Mr. an d Mrs.
Jim Bastian and family and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Wright and daughter.
