John, my great grandmother sounds like yours. Homesteaded a place near Glendive, wore dresses always - even when riding and roping. Side-saddle naturally. Lived in a sod house, later put up wood walls but still a dirt floor when my grandma was growing up.

Good shot per her son's - and they were very good themselves. I think it was Mike Venturino that had a picture in an article from that area and era of an unnamed woman I wondered if it was her. I'm the only one left who has seen her and I was only a year old at the time and what few pictures we had for a comparison disappeared after my grandmother's death.
