Mr. Alb. Price moved in the Miskell[?] house as his went beyond living in it.

I did a little searching at Ancestry.com and based on the 1930 U.S. Census, Albert Price was born in 1858 in New York.  I believe this is the same Albert Price referenced by Mary on the back of the photo posted here – the one who built the school house.

Christie Schenk, Albert Schaffer, Cid & Fran Dalin went to Boulder¹ and brought back E. Schiavon² who staid with us for a week.

1. Boulder.  Boulder is in Jefferson County, Montana – about 50 miles south of Marysville.
2. E. Schiavon.  A search in Ancestry pulled up a family with the surname “Schiavon” living in Boulder in 1940.  None of the first names started with the letter “E”.  The father’s name was Louis and the mother was Mary, both born in Italy,  There was also a “Schiavon” family living in School District 20, Lewis and Clark County, in 1930.  The father was Joseph and the mother was Mary, both also born in Italy.
