Greetings Chris,

Thank you for your response. My Iberville family is Joseph Bessette, son of Damase & Rose Bonneau. Polidore was with Joseph's son Alphonse in 1911 at the Speculaton Mine. Obviously he went on to work at the Smelter in Anaconda. Anton Bessette was with Alphonse the preceding year (1910)as a 'Yardman' at the Butte Reduction where Alphonse was a 'Millman.' The 'reduction' milled the timber used in the mines. Steven [Etienne]Bessette lived at 1201 Spruce and was with Alphonse at the Plant of the Leonard Mine in 1913. There is also a Henry, 433 E. Broadway, who was an 'Agent' for the Montana Supply Co. in 1926. I note that there was both an Etienne and a Henri within the precincts of Iberville on the 1881 census - so they are all related. Is Dosithe among the descendants of Louis Paschal?
