A copy of the photo below was offered for sale on a website, and when one of the family noticed this through Ancestry.Com, we puzzled over how this man was related to us. However, Loreto Pinochet, photoarchivist at the Montana Historical Society, stated that they have a copy of this photo, and the man (not closely related to us) was the first postmaster of Helena, born in Maine in 1834.
