Notes |
- Ralph clearly is related to Ulysses Grant Bisher who lives nearby in Montana. However, in all his records he indicates his parents were both born in Iowa. None of John Henry Bishir's son's married women born in Iowa (so far as we can tell.) By 1900 Ralph is already on his own - a 13 year old farm laborer boarding by himself in Big Timber, Montana. Our best supposition is that Ralph's parents were William T. and Alice Bishir because Alice appears in the 1900 census in Park Co., Montana.
Ralph and Rose live in Park, Montana in 1910 and Butte, Montana in 1920. Ralph had remarried by 1930 and was living in Lewistown, Fergus Co., Montana.
