Their father Casey arrived at the accident and had to use his own vehicle to move the pickup off of Tyler. When Tyler was successfully extracted and his dad was ready to...

A continuation of the shipping memories. I would like to visit with one of those cattle producers of the past. To my knowledge the livestock owners got to accompany their product to market by riding in the caboose of that train. I do remember that many folks made purchases of furniture, groceries, and other supplies to be brought back home. My question, were they furnished an empty car, courtesy of the railroad, or did they have to “rent” a car for the trip home? I bet that they carried a bedroll for the trip coming and going. Maybe it was the...

Sept. 12, 1965 – Jan. 29, 2023 It's been said the kitchen is the heart of the home. It's where loved ones gather, where we connect, where we celebrate holidays, and where we enjoyed J'nine's world-famous caramel rolls. But we shouldn't give the kitchen too much credit. The kitchen isn't the heart of the home-that was J'nine Dittus. J'nine Michelle Dittus was born Sept. 12, 1965, to Susan (Susie) and Lawren Frost (Frosty) in Glasgow, Mont.
