Hello everyone,
My name is Kyle Varnell and I need some help in locating some information on my families history of which Miles City is a major part of.
Bolth my Grandmother's and her husband's,my Grandfathers' familes settled in the Miles City area and lived there for a major portion of their lives. My Grandfather's father had what I would call a ranch that was on the outskirts of town near the Yellowstone River.
My Grandmother has said the there was a hotel her family had in Miles City called, I believe, the Brath Hotel or Motel. I am unsure if she's mistaken in this of if this place actually existed.
Bolth of them attended CUSTER COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL, however it was at different times. My Grandfather graduated on May 26 1927 and played on the championship football team of 1926. I know this because of the little silver charm football that says on the front "HOTEL MILLIGAN TROPHY" and on the back it reads "E. MONTANA CHAMPS C.C.H.S. 1926" My grandmother graduated in 1933.
My grandfather's name is JOHN GEORGE BEELER Jr. and his parents were JOHN GEORGE BEELER Sr. and JESSIE JULIAN BEELER. My grandmother's name at that time was MONICA PAULINE BRATH and her parents were ANNA LOUISE GOTZ BRATH and JOESEPH ALBERT BRATH. My grandmother also had two sisters that attended CCHS as well. There names were PAULINE ANNA BRATH & MAREE ELIZABETH BRATH.
I am very very grateful for any information that anyone can provide to me or knows what direction to point me in. Please feel free to either post replies here or e-mail me with any information you might have.
Sincerly,
Kyle L. Varnell
