Remarks by Laura Maxwell Hostetler
In the year of 1914 Thomas and Fannie Maxwell moved with their 4 children,Otis ,Arta, Laura and Henry from Linnieus to Melstone Montana where they homesteaded on a trck of land 15 miles from Melstone. Here Papa and Mama built a log house where we lived until we moved into melstone. they hauled the log's from the river bottom I'd say about 3 miles away . they worked so hard and had many hardships during this time. Papa shipped a freight car from Missouri to Montana loaded with farm machinery , chickens and one team of horse(I beleive the horses were Old Dyke and Odie) Brother Charley went with the freight car out to Melstone taking care of the animals .However he didn't stay but returned at once to Purdin ,Missouri where he lived with Uncle Jim Mayer. I was told Uncle Jim was the reason Elizabeth was added to my name .It seems when he came to visit right after I was born he asked Mama why she had not named me Elizabeth after the only girl he had ever loved .Thus she added Elizabeth to my name making it Laura Susan Elizabeth Maxwell . Uncle Jim never married .
The family stayed on the homestead long enough to prove up on the land and receive their title or deed.
We moved to Melstone in the late fall of 1917 or early spring of 1918. Irwin (Tiny) was born in Melstone on July 5, 1918 . During this time Papa worked on the railroad. However we were not there many years when we moved to Olympia,Washington Where Papa worked in the saw mills. From there we moved to Prosser Washington where we raised apples ,alfalfa and milk cows.
From prosser Washington I lived in many places.North ,Dakota ,Montana,Wyoming and Minnesota. On the 25 of november 1942 during WWII I joined the Woman's Army Corp. at Butee Montana. I served till June 1948. During this time I was stationed at Daytona Beach Florida and Fort Frances E. Warren Wyoming ,Ft. Washington Camp Atterbury Indiana , and Fort Knox Kentucky Mo. Wichita Kansas City Mo. was discharged June 25 1948 at Fort Knox
As Mr. Hostetler was a M/Sgt in the united States Army we still traveled with 3 years spent in Goeppingin Germany .We settled in New Albany Indiana August 6 1956. Mr. Hostetler retired Nov. 1961 with 26 years in service..............
