Horace Dewitt Brewster was born on a farm, now part of Cleveland, Ohio, January 9, 1855. In the family were four children; Mary, Agnes, Charles and Horace. Mary burned to death early in childhood and Agnes (now Mrs. Agnes Bagley) is living with her daughter, Mrs. Peterson near Avon.
Charles was about two and one half years younger than Horace and is mentioned in one of the books written by the late Charles M. Russell, “Raw Hide Rawlins”. He was well known in Montana and died at Great Falls a few years ago.
The father of the family died when Horace was about 5 years old, leaving the family in poor circumstances.
(His mother) Mrs. Brewster married Dr. Francis Rhoades, who, being anxious for adventure, set out soon after their marriage for the west and arrived at Golden Gate, Colorado, during the spring of 1861. They lived there a few months, then moved to Colorado City and to Fairplay, where they resided until the spring of 1864.
Dr. Rhoades heard of gold discoveries in the Rocky Mountains and left Fairplay with the family and joined a caravan that emigrated to Bannock, Montana territory, where they spent the winter of 1865. The following spring they moved to where Helena now is and where the doctor started to practice medicine.
Dr. Rhoades again moved the family overland and settled in Washington territory on the Touchet River. Horace received more schooling there but ran away from home. Taking his brother Charlie, he worked on a ranch near Ogden, Utah. Horace went back to Missouri to visit his oldest sister for the winter and came up from Sioux City, Iowa on the Nellie Peck to Carrol Bottom, where he hired out as a bullwhacker for the Diamond R. freighting outfit.
Many trips were made with freight in Helena and back during his stay with the company. He spent the winter of 1874 at Wilson Bend, near Great Falls and herded Diamond R. work oxen on lands where Great Falls now stands. He stampeded buffalo off the range to have feed for the oxen.
(Horace) Brewster’s life was spent on the range for many years, and he was with many cattle outfits and on the great roundups that marked the passing of the free cattle range. It is said that he gave Charlie Russell work on the range as a night herder in the Judith Basin country.
Brewster spent a number of years in the Little Rocky Mountains. Many stories have been written on affairs of stockmen and outlaws in that district.
During August 1910, Brewster left the range and was range in Glacier Park under Major Logan. He was in charge of stock at park headquarters at Belton and served in that capacity until April of 1923 when he received injuries that caused a general breakdown of his health. And caused him much suffering during the rest of his life.
Mr. Brewster married Miss Clemence M. Dusome at St. Paul’s Mission May 19, 1906. A son, Edward DeWitt Brewster lives at Belton.
