Hi Betty, Dave and Myron. Thanks for your input. (Sorry for the delay of this reply--I mistakenly thought I'd be notified if there were any answers like some other sites I've visited. Not so here!) Since I've only visited Miles City twice (I live in California), I'm quite ignorant about the railroad as well as the town in general. Since I'm sure my gt grandfather was NOT an official, the suggestion he may have received mail at N. Milwaukee Shops of the CM & St. P Ry while living at a hotel or bachelor apt. is a possibility. Myron's statement about shops situated north of the main line and switching lines certainly indicates a work site. I doubt he was a train crewman. He had been a farmer at the homestead in Rock Springs. He was probably doing some basic labor in one of the shops. It's unlikely he was working his way through Miles City--he had married daughters in Rock Springs, Miles City, and North Dakota so he was probably staying in the area. However, the daughter in Miles City was married with several children. I would think if he was living there, the death cert would have given her address. Soooooooo, where was he living? Ah the mysteries our ancestors leave us with!

Thanks again for your input. If anyone else has any ideas, would love to hear them. By the way, are there any records available (especially online, since I'm out of state) listing employees of the railroad? His name was Anders (Andrew) Berglof. Thanks again. Gail
