"Luther Douglass was my dad's geat Uncle. Some of the Douglass menwent to Carlyle, Montana in 1907.. Briley and Samuel for sure, andperhaps Luther. They bought and filed on land in what is now part ofthe Peterman Ranch where Carlyle was located. The only remainder ofthat town now is my great Grandparent's graves and perhaps several notmentioned. ...After building houses they sent for their families andmy grandfather arrived in late 1907. Most records should be found inBeach, North Dakota, the closest town. Dad's birth is listed asCarlyle, but only because the back bedroom was in Montana while thefront door was in North Dakota. Mom said several times that afterBriley died in 1917 as did Samuel that some of Luther's family movedto Idaho and are buried in Kimberly with my grandparents. Mygrandparents lived for a time in Glendive, Montana before moving toIdaho. Luther may have worked for the railroad after 1917."[Transcribed 11 June 2006, SLJuhl, compiler]

"Douglas, Briley Paper Date: 12-13-1917
File#: Page: 1917-7
A terrible accident occurred last Thursday night at about 8 o?clockwhen Briley Douglas, of near
Carlyle one of the pioneer, farmers of Eastern Montana, had his skullcrushed in and brains
dashed out when his Ford car driven by his son, Fred, struck the backend of a load of lumber at
a sharp hill one and a half miles north of Carlyle, resulting in hisdeath three hours later.
Mr. Douglas, his son, Fred and Dillard Carlock, who had been doingjury service at this city during
the previous several days, were returning home for the night lastThursday and had reached a
point half way to their destination when the electric lights on thecar burned out. They succeeded
in securing a lantern and strapping it to the front end of theautomobile, let off Mr. Carlock at his
home, and were proceeding with this dim light when the accidentoccurred.
Unobserved by the Douglas?s, a double-box wagon with lumber piled init and long 2x6?s
extending out over and behind the box, was ahead of them when a sharphill a mile and a half
north of Carlyle was reached. It is stated that Fred made the hill onlow gear, and not seeing the
vehicle ahead shifted the machine to high. They had proceeded butthree rods down hill,
however, when they smashed into the rear of the wagon and the shocksent the back end of the
light automobile up against the butt ends of long timbers. The elderMr. Douglas being in the rear
seat, he received the full effects of the collision. When picked uphis skull was crushed in, his left eye was knocked out and the brainswere oozing out.
Aid was secured of John Hartse and Mr. Douglas was taken home in theHartse car. Briley
Douglas died at 11 o?clock that night without regaining consciousness.
Mr. Douglas, who was a man 58 years of age, is survived by his widow,Minnie R. Douglas, five
children, a sister and a brother. They are: Fred, Ottie, Howard,Grace, and Ruby. Douglas and
Mrs. Maggie Kelsey of Carlyle.
Deceased moved to the Golden Valley in 1906, his family following himin the spring of 1907. He
had conducted his farm located about four miles northwest of Carlyleever since coming here,
and was interested in the Beach Co-Operative Mercantile company, beingone of its directors.
The funeral was held from the UB church at Carlyle last Sunday noonand interment in the Carlyle
cemetery.
The entire community sympathizes with the bereaved family in thesudden loss of a devoted
husband and provident and kind father and brother." [Transcribed 08November 2008, SLJuhl RNBSC, Compiler & Family Genealogist;sljul1234@yahoo.com]
