According to the BLM records in North Dakota; he took land at Meridian (05); Twp (154 N); Range (102W); Section (25); 160 acres on filing date November 5, 1908 using the Homestead Act. The family moved to Roosevelt County, Montana in March of 1917 as homesteaders. They filed on 160 acres of land twenty miles north and five miles east of Poplar, bought 240 acres nearby and a lot in Poplar, in the fall of 1916. The house and barn in Poplar, a partially enclosed frame for a farm house, and a chicken house were built that fall to be ready for them to move in the next spring. The moved from Williston, North Dakota to Poplar was made in three immigrant rail cars and the Maxwell touring car. The came as soon as the roads were passable. When they got there they found that the house had been destroyed by a winter storm. The chicken house was then put to use as a kitchen for what became a 4 room structure. His name has been seen as spelled "Jessie", but most references it has been seen as "Jesse". The used horses and later a tractor for farming. A well was drilled during the first summer, but until they had that they got water from a nearby spring above Hay Creek. They were members of the Church of the Brethren and one was located about 12 miles north and west of their farm. That provided most of the social activities for the family. At first, in 1917, the kids were taken to Poplar on a Sunday evening and left until the following Friday evening to fend for themselves and attend school. The whole family moved to Poplar about Thanksgiving to remain until spring. The took 3 cows and the chickens with them. This was their practice each fall. There was a school building made available right across from their farm in 1918. Georgia even taught there in the spring and summer of 1919 and for some years after the school was moved to the Julius Johnson farm. In 1920 they tried to sell their holdings in Montana and return to Indiana, but four years later they had to repossess their farms and property. It was not easy trying to reestablish a farming opperation. Jesse, became a Rawleigh Products salesman and did quite well, winning several awards with the company. He suffered a stroke about 5 months before his death and he never recovered. Bertha died just a couple of weeks after he did.
