Te land was originally appraised at $6.00 an acre. Reappraisalwas requested later and on November 19, 1928, changed to$3.50 per acre. When this happened, the land was paid or andthe Patent o Ownership was issued on April 3, 1929. Te patentwas registered at the Courthouse on July 17, 1929. Ray obtained a leave o absence dating rom November15, 1916 to April 15, 1917. On November 22nd he and Sherdwalked rom their homesteads about 11 miles to the OpheimRoad carrying their suitcases. Tey caught a ride to Glasgowwith the mail carrier. All they had between them was $5.00 andthat is just what that ride cost!!!

A man at the Coleman Hotel grubstaked them to go toNorth Dakota to find work or the winter. Alice remembers herdad saying he went to Bone raill, North Dakota to work on aarm. Ray returned the next spring on April 15th to establish hisresidence on the homestead and to start breaking up the landor seeding. Younger brother, Orville Edison (Ed) joined himthere. Ed was too young to homestead. He turned seventeenyears old on April 16, 1917.

Tey started arming with oxen named Jiggs, Choppy, Muttand Jeff. Te records show that sixteen to twenty acres werebroken up in 1917 and seeded to flax. Te oxen were prettyslow so they later were supplemented with work horses at firstand then they also purchased a tractor. Teir first tractor was aCross-Motor Case. Somewhere in this time rame Sherd enlisted in theArmy. He was discharged on December 24, 1918, probablygetting back to help with spring seeding in 1919. Ray was alsoabsent the winter o 1919 1920. Sometime during these yearsa partnership was ormed and operated under HinermanBrothers. In their early years their sister, Pearl, would come romPennsylvania to visit and help keep house. Another Pennsylvania visitor was their ather, SamuelHinerman. Ray Jr. remembers the story o how his Grandpagot the car stuck in the mud, ollowing a rain, and they pulled itout with a team o oxen. Grandpa was sure that they would pullthe car apart! Tey didnt!!!. Tere is also a picture o Samuel

visiting in 1930, when Alice was a baby. Another story Ray Jr.remembers is when Grandpa first saw this desolate countrythat the homesteads were on, he said, Boys, people are goingto starve in1937. Te brothers mother, Nancy Jane, had died in1904, and Samuel later remarried. Records show that the crops varied; some good, somepoor, as there was not much rain. Rays records show that by1921 he had 107 acres under cultivation. Tere was at that time250 acres tillable. Te crops seeded were flax in 1917, wheat andflax in 1918, wheat, flax and oats in 1920 and wheat and oats in1921. In March 1911 President af signed the Commutation Billunder which the settlers could prove up in three years. On

May 18, 1921, William Ray Hinerman o Avondale, Montanahas filed notice o intentions to make final three year proo toestablish claim to the land above described beore Registrar andReceiver, U.S. Land Office, Glasgow, Montana on June 27, 1921.Tis notice had to be published in the nearest newspaper so itwas published in the Opheim Observer, a weekly paper, or fiveconsecutive weeks beginning on May 27, 1921, ending on June29, 1921. In 1923 Sherd married Esther Bregger. Esther was asister o Mrs. Verne (Peggy) Green. Te brothers had made anagreement that as they got married, they would build a houseor the newlyweds, so later in 1927 a two story house was builton Sherds homestead. A large barn was also built to househorses and a ew cows. Te large hay mow held lots o hay. In November 1923 Ray reported that the land is 41 milesrom the nearest market and the cost o marketing grain cropsthat distance rom town during good weather conditions andgood roads is rom twenty to twenty-five cents per bushel. Teprice or the best grade o spring wheat on the local market atthis time is rom $.87 to $.89 per bushel and durum wheat rom$.66 to $.68. per bushel, Treshing costs about fifeen centsper bushel, twine about 2 to 3 cents per bushel. All o thisbesides the other necessary costs and expenses o cultivatingand working the land. A photo taken in 1924 shows a 15-30 McCormick-Deeringtractor hooked to a plow with breaker bottoms on it. Tere wereeight work horses standing in the picture also.

Some o the othermachinery and equipmentneeded included a drill orseeding, a disc, a large harrow,a mower, hay rake, hay racks,grain wagons, a binder andlater on a Model truck tohaul grain. Tere was a totalo three Model trucks overseveral years. In 1928, the partnershippurchased a threshingmachine. Tey started

threshing or neighbors orwherever necessary to bring ina little more income. Tey hada cook car to eed the men anda cook named Rose Harmon.Te old cook car is still on thearm. In the early thirties thefirst combine that was on thearm was a Minneapolis pulltype. In 1935 they bought an International 1 ton arm truckmainly or hauling grain. Tere was also a Jayhawk stacker. Agranary and a small shop were also built on Sherds homestead.Te brothers continued arming together. Beore the partnershipwas ormed during slack times Ed would hire out to work at theCharlie Cooper ranch or Bill Soper arm. On October 31, 1929, Ray married Anna Garbe in Glasgow,Montana. Anna Johanna Elvina Garbe, oldest child o Germanimmigrants, Frank and Martha Fuhrman Garbe, was bornSeptember 11, 1905 at Kramer, North Dakota. Her siblings wereClara Emelia Garbe Porter (1907-1988), Max Carl Frank Garbe(1908-2001), Elsie Emma Ida Garbe Lettman (1910-2000) andFreda Hertha Bertha Garbe Bryan (1911 1985). Annas ather came to Glasgow in 1914 and filed on ahomestead 23 miles north o Nashua, then went back home toNorth Dakota. In 1915 he came back to the homestead on June12 to break land, ence one quarter and build some on a houseand barn. He returned to North Dakota on August 1 to cut thecrop there. On April 13, 1916 he moved his amily rom Kramer,ND, to Nashua, Montana. Tey traveled by passenger train andall his livestock, 6-8 head o cattle, 6 good work horses, a ew

chickens and a mother cat with kittens came in othe machinery and eed in another carload on aarrived the same day as the amily. Tey arrivebut had to wait in Nashua or 5 days beore the Pwent down enough to cross with the team o hor Afer living on the homestead or a time, ththere was not enough water available to supplythe house was moved west to the other side o where it is today. It was improved with a cemenbedrooms were built on. A larger barn was built Anna attended school with her brother anGrain School, two miles south o their homeweather they walked to and rom school. Te church and Sunday School at the Grain EvangChurch hal a mile south o their home.

have paid better attention to the teacher when she told themthat there would not be any school on Monday!!! Ethel remembers her mother telling how in those daysarming was all done with horses pulling the machinery. Onespring Annas dad broke his leg so he and Anna seeded the crop.She drove the horses and he rode horseback alongside to help.As she grew older, Anna worked first on the Fisher Ranch onthe Porcupine Creek north o Nashua. One o the Fisher maresgot in with a bunch o wild horses. In those days range horsesroamed reely over the wide, open spaces uncontrolled. As aresult o this there was a colt and the Fishers gave it to Anna.She named him Pat and she and her dad broke him to ride. Her next job took Anna to the Charles and Mary CooperRanch southwest o Avondale, Montana. She helped Mary withhousehold chores and milked the cows. Te Coopers had athoroughbred saddle horse they would let Anna ride. She couldride home to see the amily and ride back the same day, abouteighteen miles each way. While working at the Coopers, Anna met her uturehusband, Ray Hinerman. Te Depression had started so therewould be no new house or the newlyweds. Afer Ray and Annawere married, or a short time they lived in Sherds homesteadshack, then they moved upstairs in Sherd and Esthers house. On April 10, 1930 the partnership purchased the OscarOlson homestead, a Section. Ray and Anna moved there tolive or the next sixteen years. Te brothers also purchased the Elmer Reimche arm (a Section) on April 10, 1930. Ed had purchased the Oscar

Zuercher homestead (a Section) on July 2, 1929. Sometime in the thirties the brothers bought some oldewes and began to raise their own band o sheep. Te care othe sheep was mainly Eds job with help rom the brothers whenneeded (lambing, etc.) During the summer when there wasno school, Sherds daughter, Hazel, helped to herd the sheep attimes; and when Alice and Ray Jr. were old enough,they helpedherd sheep also. Ed married Mabel Krause in 1935 and they moved intothe house on the Elmer Reimche arm. Still no money or anew house. Mabels olks had homesteaded north o Glentana.Mabel taught school at the Green Valley School or one year,1930 1931.

Sherd was a Montana State Representative on theDemocratic ticket in the mid-30s. Tis took him rom the armwhen he needed to be in Helena.

Te W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration) was anotherway Ray and Sherd supplemented the income. Tey workedmainly on roads, graveling them and building bridges whereneeded. Anna was still keeping busy. In addition to raising childrenshe had a garden and milked cows and sold the extra cream theamily didnt need. It should be mentioned that her olks gavethem a milk cow as a wedding gif. Anna and Ray had six children: Alice May born in 1930,

William Ray Jr. in 1931, Ethel Marian in 1934,twins Samuel Frank and Ilene Nellie in 1936and Norma Jean in 1944. When Alice was inthe 6th grade and Ray Jr. in the 5th grade atthe Larslan school, Anna learned to drive theamily car and it became a school bus. Shedrove her children and the neighbors childrento the Larslan school. She was paid as a busdriver by the district. One year Anna raised a lot o turkeyshoping to buy school clothes or the kids, butwhen they were sold the proceeds had to go tothe arm income.

For social activity Anna belonged to theLarslan Womens Club, a Home DemonstrationClub, an extension service o Valley County bythe United States Department o Agriculture.Te membership declined over the years. OnOctober 10, 1946 Anna was elected Secretary-reasurer. It was a short-lived office as the lastmeeting o the Club was held on December 11,1946. Tere was $26.99 in the treasury whichwas donated some years later to the Valley ViewHome in Glasgow. Anna also later attended the AmericanLutheran Church womens meetings. LadiesAide, as it was called by the older women. Shewould pick up her neighbor and riend, Mrs.Bill Russell, who didnt drive. It was a goodouting or them. A social activity or the men wasbelonging to the Montana Farmers Union,Larslan Local #13. A certificate dated October20, 1928 was the beginning o the organizationin Larslan and the surrounding communities.Te certificate read Te Farmers Educationaland Cooperative Union o America. W. R.Hinerman (Ray) was listed as president. TeFarmers Union was an organization thatinvolved the whole amily. In addition tomeetings, there sometimes would be a programput on by Junior members, and picnics. Te Hinerman Brothers and amilies werevery active. It was a chance or the children toplay with others. A good time to be had!!! Ray was always involved with the

Farmers Union. Afer the Larslan Local #13was dropped, he became involved with theFarmers Union Elevator at Opheim, servingon the board o directors. He was chairman othe board at times and also involved with theFarmers Union oil station. Ray and Anna did see that their childrenhad toys while they were growing up. Tey had a black and white Pinto pony

to ride with a childrens saddle, complete withtapaderas (heavy leather covers around theront o the stirrups), to keep their oot romgoing through the stirrup. Tey had the ponyseveral years. Te wind blew the door openon the granary and she got into the grain andoundered. Te pony was no longer able to beridden. Ray Jr. remembers the day they camehome rom school and there were two bicyclesstill in their boxes leaning against the house.Teir dad attached the handlebars and pedals,and Ray Jr. and Alice each had a 24-inch bike.

Later as they outgrew the bikes, they handedthem down to their little sisters and brotherand they each got a 26-inch bike. Anna learnedto ride a bike also. Anna also had a gentle saddle horsenamed Dolly. As they got big enough to ride,she was gentle enough or them to ride. Al iceand Ray Jr. both rode Dolly to herd sheep whenthey were old enough to do so. Dolly will bementioned again later. On September 6, 1945 the co-partnershipbetween the Hinerman Brothers was dissolvedby mutual consent. Sherd settled or the OscarOlson arm and deeded his homestead over toRay. E d wound up with the Reimche arm andthe Zuercher homestead. Sherd and Esther moved to Martin City,Montana where he went to work on HungryHorse Dam. Tey sold the Olson arm toRalph Renner. Ed, Mabel and Orvill e Jr. movedto Bozeman, Montana where he worked in thedairy department at Montana State College.He rented his land to Ray or one year and thenthe armland to Ralph Renner and the pastureto Bill Russell. Alice, a sophomore and Ray Jr., a reshmanin the Nashua High School, had been taken tostart school and boarded out in Nashua. Whentheir olks came six weeks later to get themto go home or the week-end, the amily hadmoved to Sherds homestead, into the two storyhouse with electricity rom a wind charger andbatteries or lights and radio only, and a urnace

or heat. Te girls still talk about how excitedthey were with all the room afer the tiny housethey had lived in all their lives. Ray and Anna started a small dairybusiness, selling milk and cream to theneighbors. Sometimes eggs also to those thatdidnt raise chickens. Anna had always enjoyedmilking cows. She also liked to go to the field,

afer the children were older, and pitch hay on the hayracksduring haying season. When it came time or harvesting thecrops, she would go out and shock the bundles afer the binder.Tis was continued even afer a combine was purchased. Teoat straw was still used or the cows. Anna and Ray continued selling milk and cream untilthe government put out rules and restrictions on dairy barns,cooling o milk, etc. Anna did continue to sell milk to one amilywith lots o children until 1989. Earlier Sherd had moved his homestead shack closer to theyard or a chicken coop. Ray Jr. remembers his mother settinghens and raising baby chicks. His mother had six to eight smallindividual little coops, one or each hen and her chicks. Everynight she would herd each hen and her chicks into the little coopor the night to protect them rom the skunks. Norma Jean remembers the winter her mother put jars o

milk in gunny sacks and delivered the milk to the neighbors anddown to Larslan, riding her horse Dolly. Te snow was too deepin places or a car to go, and she didnt want the children to gowithout milk. She also says I have one very ond memory o my ather.Dad took me along when he went to get Ilene and Sam romschool. He always stopped at Jevnes and bought an Almond Joyto share with me. One ond memory o my momI used to goand pick potato bugs with her. I put mine in an empty coke can.I asked Sam whet to do with them and he said put a rock overthe hole and put it on the step and Ill take care o them. Alonecame Alice and she took the can into the house to rinse it out orrecycling. Needless to say, she got more than a surprise. Ilene remembers when her dad and mom raised all themeat they ate: bee, pork, mutton and chickens. Mom also

raised extra chickens and she and dad would dress them outand trade them or groceries, along with eggs, at Scott and

Snyders at Glasgow. Mom also planted a large garden and sheand dad planted a good sized potato patch. Mom did a lot ocanning. We always had a lot o ood on the table---we neverwent hungry!!! Uncle Sherd told Ilene that the Hinerman Brothers boughtthe our oxen rom Dahls north o Avondale. Tey paid $100.00a piece or a total o $400.00. Te breed was Red Short Horn andthey weighed about 1600 pounds each. Uncle Sherd also toldIlene that the Hinerman Brothers bought the Hart-Parr tractorand the threshing machine or $5000.00 cash in 1928. Afer Ray and Anna moved to their new home they addedmore buildings: a large shop, some steel granaries and a wellhouse. Later, Anna added a two-stall garage and more steelgranaries. On December 19, 1994 Anna gave the arm to her childrenand grandchildren. Sam continued to do the arming.
