My ancestors came from Chicago, before that Norway, and from Bozen, Austria to take advantage of the Homestead Act in the early 1900's. This blog is attemting to chronicle the lives of the Halverson and Kasseroler homesteaders on Irvine Flats just west of Polson, Montana. Our family is proud of our Irvine Flats homesteader heritage.

1913 IRVINE FLATS HOMESTEADER GATHERING PICTURE
Click on this link above to see the wonderful picture of the early settlers gathering at a country school (probable the Spring Valley School). The people used the Homestead Act to settle in the Irvine Flats area of Polson, Montana.
It is July 2020 and I did an internet search on Irvine Flats. And - there was an astounding picture. I may have seen it before - I can't remember, however, this picture is so clear and crisp. I'm going to take it to my dad and see if he can make out whether his grandfather, George, his grandmother, Rose, and his very young father is in the picture!
Update hopefully soon!
