(Mentioned) oObit10 August 1902 Eben York was mentioned in the obituary of Elizabeth Dyke on 10 August 1902 at Anaconda, Deer Lodge County, Montana;
     DRAGGED TO HER DEATH
     Mrs. Elizabeth York, of one of the best known families ill the Big Hole country, met with a violent death about 11 o'clock Friday morning at the Chalk bluffs on the Big Hole River. With her left foot caught in the wheel of the buggy she was dragged to her death by a spirited horse. Her dead body was discovered about an hour later by Fred Porter, a neighbor. He drove four miles with the body to the York Ranch near Bowen and notified a son, Harry York, of what had taken place. Harry York drove 12 miles to the Belin ranch, where his brother, William York was at work. The latter sent word to Undertaker Richards in Butte. The body was brought to Butte last night and Coroner Johnson notified. He made an investigation with the result that he decided an inquest was unnecessary. The funeral will probably take place on Tuesday. The arrangements are not yet complete.
     Mrs. York was 56 years of age and the widow of John York who died in Coeur d'Alenes about eight years ago. She was born on the Island of Jersey, in the English Channel, and was married there. With her husband she came to the United States 33 years ago and in 1889 came to Montana. John York was a stock and hay rancher and made his home in the Big Hole country, where his thrift made him wealthy. After his death the widow and children carried on the business and acquired other ranches. Mrs. York leaves six sons and five daughters. The sons are William, Hary, John, Eben, Charles and George York. The daughters are Alice, Cora and Bessie York, Mrs. J. C. Golightly of Golden, Col. and Mrs. A. J. Porter of Newcastle, Col. The last two named are expected to arrive in Butte on Tuesday morning to attend the funeral.
     Mrs. York left her ranch near Bowen about 10 o'clock Friday morning to drive to the Belin ranch, which had been recently leased by herself and sons. She was taking provisions and clean linen to the sons on the Belin ranch. About four miles from her ranch Mrs. York had reason to leave her buggy, presumably to tighten a part of the harness. It is supposed that as she was climbing back into the buggy, the spirited horse started suddenly causing her foot to slip from the front axle into the wheel. As the foot caught Mrs. York fell backward between the front and rear right wheels. The horse continued and the woman was dragged by the foot, her head bumping violently on the ground until the horse tired and stopped. The position of the body when found would indicate that life was extinct when the horse stopped.
     Fred Porter conducts a ranch near that of the Yorks. He started out about 11 o'clock to visit a neighboring ranch, and came upon the lifeless body of Mrs. York about noon. The foot of the woman was still caught in the wheel. The foot and limb were torn, but no bones were broken. The head of the woman was a mass of cuts and bruises. The forehead was scraped and bruised but there were no marks on the face. Porter drove the body to the York ranch where Harry York was at work. He then notified his brothers and sisters at the Belin ranch. All were heartbroken by the news."15 
Death*22 July 1904 Eben York died on 22 July 1904 at Butte, Silver Bow County, Montana, at age 27; a mine accident - he fell off the cage (elevator platform) at the Minnie Healy mine.5,16 
Burial25 July 1905 He was buried on 25 July 1905 at Mount Moriah Cemetery, Butte, Silver Bow County, Montana. Inscription "Undertaker - Sherman & Reed."17,18

     "Charley York,was born in Golden, Colo., in 1879 and moved to the Wisdom area at the age of 12. He operated a ranch in the Wisdom area until about 1958 when ill health forced him to be confined to a hospital.
     He never married, but lived alone on his ranch with his many pet cats in a big house that was for many years a great landmark along the Big Hole river. Charley played the violin and never missed the schoolhouse dance where he would play until the wee hours of the morning. One of his favorite tunes, and his best, the the old, ever popular "Red Wing".
     Charley had a brother, George, and two sisters, Bessie Maybee and Mrs. Claude Schroeder. He passed away in 1959 and was missed by all who knew him while he lived in his big house by the side of the road. He is buried in the Sunset Memorial Gardens on the Butte-Anaconda highway."25

(Mentioned) oObit10 August 1902 Harry York was mentioned in the obituary of Elizabeth Dyke on 10 August 1902 at Anaconda, Deer Lodge County, Montana;
     DRAGGED TO HER DEATH
     Mrs. Elizabeth York, of one of the best known families ill the Big Hole country, met with a violent death about 11 o'clock Friday morning at the Chalk bluffs on the Big Hole River. With her left foot caught in the wheel of the buggy she was dragged to her death by a spirited horse. Her dead body was discovered about an hour later by Fred Porter, a neighbor. He drove four miles with the body to the York Ranch near Bowen and notified a son, Harry York, of what had taken place. Harry York drove 12 miles to the Belin ranch, where his brother, William York was at work. The latter sent word to Undertaker Richards in Butte. The body was brought to Butte last night and Coroner Johnson notified. He made an investigation with the result that he decided an inquest was unnecessary. The funeral will probably take place on Tuesday. The arrangements are not yet complete.
     Mrs. York was 56 years of age and the widow of John York who died in Coeur d'Alenes about eight years ago. She was born on the Island of Jersey, in the English Channel, and was married there. With her husband she came to the United States 33 years ago and in 1889 came to Montana. John York was a stock and hay rancher and made his home in the Big Hole country, where his thrift made him wealthy. After his death the widow and children carried on the business and acquired other ranches. Mrs. York leaves six sons and five daughters. The sons are William, Hary, John, Eben, Charles and George York. The daughters are Alice, Cora and Bessie York, Mrs. J. C. Golightly of Golden, Col. and Mrs. A. J. Porter of Newcastle, Col. The last two named are expected to arrive in Butte on Tuesday morning to attend the funeral.
     Mrs. York left her ranch near Bowen about 10 o'clock Friday morning to drive to the Belin ranch, which had been recently leased by herself and sons. She was taking provisions and clean linen to the sons on the Belin ranch. About four miles from her ranch Mrs. York had reason to leave her buggy, presumably to tighten a part of the harness. It is supposed that as she was climbing back into the buggy, the spirited horse started suddenly causing her foot to slip from the front axle into the wheel. As the foot caught Mrs. York fell backward between the front and rear right wheels. The horse continued and the woman was dragged by the foot, her head bumping violently on the ground until the horse tired and stopped. The position of the body when found would indicate that life was extinct when the horse stopped.
     Fred Porter conducts a ranch near that of the Yorks. He started out about 11 o'clock to visit a neighboring ranch, and came upon the lifeless body of Mrs. York about noon. The foot of the woman was still caught in the wheel. The foot and limb were torn, but no bones were broken. The head of the woman was a mass of cuts and bruises. The forehead was scraped and bruised but there were no marks on the face. Porter drove the body to the York ranch where Harry York was at work. He then notified his brothers and sisters at the Belin ranch. All were heartbroken by the news."14 
(Witness) Anecdote15 August 1902 From the Big Hole Breezes, August 15, 1902:
     Last Friday morning, some time between 11 and 12 o'clock, Mrs. Elizabeth York was dragged to her death in a runaway. She left the Tucker ranch, at which place she and her family had made their home for several months, about 10 o'clock, driving alone, and was found by one of H. J. Toomey's men shortly before 12 o'clock in an insensible condition with her foot locked in the front wheel while the horse was quietly grazing. When first seen by the man, the horse was moving slowly and then stopped. The reins had been tied to the dashboard of the buggy, and the position of her body between the wheels would indicate that she was either getting in or out of the buggy when the animal started.
     The unfortunate woman was taken back to the Tucker ranch and her son Harry came to Wisdom for Dr Towers, who did not get there until after her death which occured about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The doctor said she probably died of concussion of the brain.
     The remains were taken to Butte for burial."15

Residence*27 April 1942 George Harry York lived on 27 April 1942 at 513 Ash Street, Anaconda, Deer Lodge County, Montana.22 
Occupation* He was usually a butcher at a meat market.23 
Anecdote* George's grand daughter, Velva York Ward wrote in 1998: In 1910 George and Anne got homestead rights on the upper York ranch in the Fishtrap area ten miles east of Wisdom. George, Anne, and Little George traveled five days in a wagon to move out to the upper York ranch.
In the 1920s George and Ann moved back to Butte, selling the upper York ranch on York Creek to his brother Charles. George, after going back to the mines in Butte, got into the meat butchering business. The family moved to Anaconda in 1928 and started up a meat butcher shop at the family resident at Ash St.
About 1931 or 1932 George and Ann went back to ranching and leased a ranch from the Haggen Livestock Ranches, under contract to produce hay to feed the sheep herds the company ranches when the sheep were brought in during the winter months.
George returned to the Ash Street house in Anaconda, and went to work as a deputy sheriff for the Anaconda Police force.
About 1947 George and Ann moved to the Dempsey area in the Deer Lodge, Valley and started up another meat market., Grandpa George did the cutting and the selling and my father Ray bought the cattle from the ranchers and the slaughtered them.
Grandpa always chewed a cigar. never smoked it just chewed it and told me as a child that he farmed with dinosaurs. I never believed him, but one time there was a dinosaur found in a gravel pit standing up, and the archeologists were digging it out piece by piece wrapping the bones in foil and putting them in a refrigerated truck, the dinosaur is supposed to be reassembled in a museum in Minneapolis, Minn. anyhow that was the end to Grandpa George's dinosaur tails,
Grandpa always had a problem with breathing and had several atomizers he used now and then. He ended up in the hospital, in Anaconda, where they pronounced him with Asthma, they sent him to the tuberculosis hospital for further lung tests. He died there in 1952
Grandpa was a tall man, about 6' 1", with dark hair which turned grey, he was very quiet, soft spoken and was always there for me even though he teased me unmercifully.
He was 67 the last time he rode one of our horses in a 4th of July Parade with Dad and I. This was a memorable parade as I had borrowed my great-grandmother Elizabeth's side saddle from Uncle Charlie and rode side saddle in that parade. A year later Grandpa George was gone.24

(Mentioned) oObit10 August 1902 Alice Irene York was mentioned in the obituary of Elizabeth Dyke on 10 August 1902 at Anaconda, Deer Lodge County, Montana;
     DRAGGED TO HER DEATH
     Mrs. Elizabeth York, of one of the best known families ill the Big Hole country, met with a violent death about 11 o'clock Friday morning at the Chalk bluffs on the Big Hole River. With her left foot caught in the wheel of the buggy she was dragged to her death by a spirited horse. Her dead body was discovered about an hour later by Fred Porter, a neighbor. He drove four miles with the body to the York Ranch near Bowen and notified a son, Harry York, of what had taken place. Harry York drove 12 miles to the Belin ranch, where his brother, William York was at work. The latter sent word to Undertaker Richards in Butte. The body was brought to Butte last night and Coroner Johnson notified. He made an investigation with the result that he decided an inquest was unnecessary. The funeral will probably take place on Tuesday. The arrangements are not yet complete.
     Mrs. York was 56 years of age and the widow of John York who died in Coeur d'Alenes about eight years ago. She was born on the Island of Jersey, in the English Channel, and was married there. With her husband she came to the United States 33 years ago and in 1889 came to Montana. John York was a stock and hay rancher and made his home in the Big Hole country, where his thrift made him wealthy. After his death the widow and children carried on the business and acquired other ranches. Mrs. York leaves six sons and five daughters. The sons are William, Hary, John, Eben, Charles and George York. The daughters are Alice, Cora and Bessie York, Mrs. J. C. Golightly of Golden, Col. and Mrs. A. J. Porter of Newcastle, Col. The last two named are expected to arrive in Butte on Tuesday morning to attend the funeral.
     Mrs. York left her ranch near Bowen about 10 o'clock Friday morning to drive to the Belin ranch, which had been recently leased by herself and sons. She was taking provisions and clean linen to the sons on the Belin ranch. About four miles from her ranch Mrs. York had reason to leave her buggy, presumably to tighten a part of the harness. It is supposed that as she was climbing back into the buggy, the spirited horse started suddenly causing her foot to slip from the front axle into the wheel. As the foot caught Mrs. York fell backward between the front and rear right wheels. The horse continued and the woman was dragged by the foot, her head bumping violently on the ground until the horse tired and stopped. The position of the body when found would indicate that life was extinct when the horse stopped.
     Fred Porter conducts a ranch near that of the Yorks. He started out about 11 o'clock to visit a neighboring ranch, and came upon the lifeless body of Mrs. York about noon. The foot of the woman was still caught in the wheel. The foot and limb were torn, but no bones were broken. The head of the woman was a mass of cuts and bruises. The forehead was scraped and bruised but there were no marks on the face. Porter drove the body to the York ranch where Harry York was at work. He then notified his brothers and sisters at the Belin ranch. All were heartbroken by the news."8

(Witness) ResidenceJuly 1902 Cora Delores York lived with Elizabeth Dyke in July 1902 at James Tucker Ranch, Fishtrap, Deer Lodge County, Montana.10 
(Mentioned) oObit10 August 1902 Cora Delores York was mentioned in the obituary of Elizabeth Dyke on 10 August 1902 at Anaconda, Deer Lodge County, Montana;
     DRAGGED TO HER DEATH
     Mrs. Elizabeth York, of one of the best known families ill the Big Hole country, met with a violent death about 11 o'clock Friday morning at the Chalk bluffs on the Big Hole River. With her left foot caught in the wheel of the buggy she was dragged to her death by a spirited horse. Her dead body was discovered about an hour later by Fred Porter, a neighbor. He drove four miles with the body to the York Ranch near Bowen and notified a son, Harry York, of what had taken place. Harry York drove 12 miles to the Belin ranch, where his brother, William York was at work. The latter sent word to Undertaker Richards in Butte. The body was brought to Butte last night and Coroner Johnson notified. He made an investigation with the result that he decided an inquest was unnecessary. The funeral will probably take place on Tuesday. The arrangements are not yet complete.
     Mrs. York was 56 years of age and the widow of John York who died in Coeur d'Alenes about eight years ago. She was born on the Island of Jersey, in the English Channel, and was married there. With her husband she came to the United States 33 years ago and in 1889 came to Montana. John York was a stock and hay rancher and made his home in the Big Hole country, where his thrift made him wealthy. After his death the widow and children carried on the business and acquired other ranches. Mrs. York leaves six sons and five daughters. The sons are William, Hary, John, Eben, Charles and George York. The daughters are Alice, Cora and Bessie York, Mrs. J. C. Golightly of Golden, Col. and Mrs. A. J. Porter of Newcastle, Col. The last two named are expected to arrive in Butte on Tuesday morning to attend the funeral.
     Mrs. York left her ranch near Bowen about 10 o'clock Friday morning to drive to the Belin ranch, which had been recently leased by herself and sons. She was taking provisions and clean linen to the sons on the Belin ranch. About four miles from her ranch Mrs. York had reason to leave her buggy, presumably to tighten a part of the harness. It is supposed that as she was climbing back into the buggy, the spirited horse started suddenly causing her foot to slip from the front axle into the wheel. As the foot caught Mrs. York fell backward between the front and rear right wheels. The horse continued and the woman was dragged by the foot, her head bumping violently on the ground until the horse tired and stopped. The position of the body when found would indicate that life was extinct when the horse stopped.
     Fred Porter conducts a ranch near that of the Yorks. He started out about 11 o'clock to visit a neighboring ranch, and came upon the lifeless body of Mrs. York about noon. The foot of the woman was still caught in the wheel. The foot and limb were torn, but no bones were broken. The head of the woman was a mass of cuts and bruises. The forehead was scraped and bruised but there were no marks on the face. Porter drove the body to the York ranch where Harry York was at work. He then notified his brothers and sisters at the Belin ranch. All were heartbroken by the news."11
