Eugene Garber of Ismay, MT, passed away on Feb. 25, 2020 at 95 years old in Bozeman where he had lived near his daughter Annette for the past several years. Born Sept. 21, 1924 on his family’s farm near Big Horn, WY, he was the third son of Roy and Vie Willits Garber. Coming of age during the Great Depression he and his family knew hard work.

Graduating from Big Horn High School in 1941 Gene entered college only to have Pearl Harbor change plans; he returned home to grow food for the war effort. By early 1944 three high school classmates had lost their lives in the war so even though he was exempt due to the farm’s production, Gene enlisted in the Navy Reserves and was assigned as a yeoman on board the USS Oconto APA187. He served in the South Pacific for the remainder of the war on the telephone communications watch from the bridge of the ship relaying all the captain’s commands. In 1946 after the war he enrolled at the University of Wyoming under the GI bill and graduated in 1949 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Industrial Arts along with a private pilot’s license. During college he had met Fernande D’Haeyer and they were married May 31, 1947, living in Laramie until he graduated. In July of 1950, having purchased the Dial Moss ranch near Ismay, MT they came to where they ranched for the rest of their lives. The early years and many to follow were very tough. They had six children and together as a family worked hard at raising sheep, cattle, grain, and hay. Contour farming, flood irrigation, fences, range management, reservoirs, all were in the mix to improve the land and earn a living. Gene put his pilot’s license to good use using first a J-3 Piper Cub, then later a PA 11 to oversight the ranch. Gene had a strong work ethic yet he nor the family worked on Sundays! During many of those years son Warren and Bernie ranched with Gene and Fernande.

Gene enjoyed years of his Navy reunions, building and maintaining the Holy Family grotto in Ismay, being an amateur historian for the Ismay area, visiting with relatives and friends, keeping up his genealogy chart, and most of all RANCHING in which he took great pride. He served on various grazing and conservation boards, helped bring electricity and telephone service to the Ismay area, fought fires, and was honored to be a lector at Sunday Mass in Plevna. He and Victor rode in the 1989 Montana Centennial Cattle Drive as well as the 1990 Wyoming 100th Centennial Cattle Drive.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Orr, his son Marvin, and his wife Fernande in 2012. He is survived by his brother Victor of

Big Horn, WY; his son Victor (Jane), Douglas, WY; Arlette Randash (Dean), Helena; Warren (Bernie), Miles City; Annette (Don), Bozeman; and Paulette Householder (Cliff) of Ismay. He is also survived by 15 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren (plus two on the way), and two great, great grandchildren. A special thank you goes out to those who graciously cared for Gene in his last years: Jennifer and Brian Cain at Homestead Homes in Miles City, Bozeman care givers Ginger Lee, Springmeadow staff and hospice care as well as a visitors David Baldwin, Dean Parisian and his life-long friend Dick Steigenga. THANK YOU one and all.

Pallbearers are grandsons, Shane Garber, Dael and Drew Householder, Thomas, Timothy, and Giovanni Osen, and Marvin Randash. Honorary pallbearers are granddaughters and great grandchildren. A rosary will be prayed at St. John’s Catholic Church in Baker at 10 a.m., preceding the funeral Mass on Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020 at 11 a.m. After the funeral a community luncheon will be in St. John’s basement for all to gather and share memories. Gene will be buried at the family cemetery on the ranch. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting: www.stevensonandsons.com.

Memorials may be made to a charity of any choice or to St. John’s Church, Baker, MT.

I am the resurrection and the life. If anyone believes in me, even though he dies he will live. And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. John 11: 25-26

Elphie (Briggs) Wood passed away on Feb. 20, 2020. She was born Jan. 7, 1925 near Houghton, SD, to Helga and Hieronymus (Rony) Tunby, who eventually grew their family to eight living children, all of whom grew up caring for and sharing with each other. Our mom had a kind, generous, and caring soul.

Elphie graduated from Baker High School and worked as a legal secretary for a Baker law firm. She then married Kenneth D. Briggs, with the goal of creating a healthy and happy home. She thoroughly loved and admired her husband, and they began their married life first in Coeur d’Alene, ID, where he was a masonry contractor and she was church secretary at Trinity Lutheran Church. Later, she worked as a secretary at Coeur d’Alene High School, and then was recruited to be the secretary to the administrator of the new Kootenai County Hospital. Family and church were the foundation of their lives. Dancing and having fun with friends and neighbors, especially with the Sons of Norway, added to their happiness.

In 1967 they moved to Miles City, MT, and became active members of First Lutheran Church. Mom was a gutsy lady, learning to drive at 40. When Kenneth died at age 48, and she was 46, her church, family, and friends cared and supported her through this tragic time. She worked as secretary to the superintendent of Pine Hills School for Boys, helped at church, and enjoyed dancing at the Drop In Center and Range Rider Museum where she was a Range Rider Rep. She also served as church council secretary and president of the women’s group. She loved her extended family and helped organize many Tunby family reunions.

While attending dances, she met her second husband, Gene Wood, a rancher from the Volborg/Stacy area who played fiddle at the dances. She married Gene in 1984, moved to Gene’s ranch, and loved her life there with the Wood family and the new friends she made. When Gene died in 1992, she moved back to Miles City, and in 2002, she moved to Billings to live with her daughter Toni Ann, and she once again became very active in the life of her church and traveled as much as she could to visit family. She was able travel to Germany, Scotland, Norway and many national parks.

Elphie is survived by her children, Toni Ann Little, Ruth Franes, and Kenneth Wayne Briggs (Linda), grandchildren Heather Jess (John), Tony Franes (Diana), Kelsey Morello (Matt), Kenneth Sandy Briggs, and six very special great grandchildren; brothers Maurice Tunby and Rolph Tunby, and sister Marie Moe. From Gene’s family, she is survived by Helen Jeane (Walt), Sandra Wood, and Jan Wood, and several step-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husbands, Kenneth Briggs and Gene Wood, her brothers Roy Tunby and Gordon Tunby, her sisters Helen Jensen and Edith Johnson, and by Blanche Wood and Steven Wood on Gene’s side. Her funeral service will be held on Monday, March 2, 2020 at 11 a.m. at American Lutheran Church, 5 Lewis Avenue, Billings, MT, 59101. Internment will take place at a later time in the Bonnievale Cemetery in Baker. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting: www.stevensonandsons.com.

Memorials may be made to American Lutheran Church, Billings, MT, or to the charity of one’s choice. Clinton Floyd Shepherd, 97

Bud, married to Pearl E. Hoenke for 72 years, was the father of four daughters: Dorene Grapp, Rene’ Shepherd, Lucille Cole and Lana Shepherd; and a son, who passed during childbirth; three sons-in-law: Dennis Grapp, Ro Purser and Randy Cole; will miss him, along with seven grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren who have been blessed to share his life for so many years.

Bud served his country in the U.S. Army Air Force as a tail gunner in a B-24 Liberator during WWII; successfully completing 50 missions. A self-made man, owning and operating his own businesses throughout his life, Bud will be remembered for his courage, determination, and most of all, his love for his wife and family. He enjoyed all types of people, animals, his home and a simple life. When asked why he thought he survived war missions that so many others did not, Bud replied; “because I never thought I wouldn’t, I guess”. Clinton Shepherd will be missed by all who knew him and were touched by the strength of his soul and the fighting spirit of his heart. An Air Force Recognition Ceremony will be given at Floral Hills Cemetery in Lynnwood, WA at 2 p.m. on March 30, 2020.
