Because he was called Fred instead of Alfred, some people assumed that his real name was Frederick.

According to a couple of different sources -- including his grave marker -- Fred was born on 12 Feb 1863.

According to the 1880 Census, Fred was born in Chicago, Cook Co, IL.

Upon his father's death in Dec 1902, Fred inherited his land in Argenta, MT, but then promptly sold the property on 13 Feb 1903 to John G. BRADWELL.

AFTER MANY YEARS DIVORCE FOLLOWS -- Arbour Talks About a "Third Party" in the Case -- Married Twenty-Two Years
After having been married for more than 22 years and having grown children, Fred Arbour obtained a divorce from Ida A. Arbour in Judge McClernan's department of the district court yesterday. The Arbours were married in Melrose, 12 May 1887, and Arbour testified yesterday that his wife left him 7 Feb 1908, after telling him that she could not live with him any longer and intended to support herself. It was agreed that he should have the children and take care of them. Arbour saidthat there hadbeen no trouble and his wife simply said she would not live with him any longer, but being urged by the court for a better explanation, Arbour said there was a "third party" in the case. "A man?" inquired Judge McClernan. "Yes,sir."

Another article apparently from Friday 15 Oct 1909
FRED ARBOUR'S WIFE LEFT HIM AFTER WEDDED CAREER OF TWENTY-TWO YEARS
In divorce case, husband testifies that his spouse found an affinity, although she is advanced in years and has several grown children
Twenty-two years ago Fred Arbour and Ida A. Arbour were united in marriage at Melrose in this county, and yesterday Arbour gave his testimony in Judge McClernan's court in a suit for divorce on the ground of dissertion. It was alleged that Mrs. Arbour left her husband last year although there was no cause or provocation for the act. She did not answer in the case and a default was granted againsther. The plaintiff testified positively that he had never beat or struck his wife orgave her any other reason to leave him.

Ida deserted Fred and their children on 7 Feb 1908. Fred and Ida eventually divorced over her extramarital relationship with George SEYMER, whom Ida later married. During the proceedings, George SEYMORE (spelling in court records) bit off Fred's middle finger on his left hand. Fred was awarded damages of $2000 plus the $8.70 cost of his suit. [from Divorce Decree, newspaper reports, and Sunny HOWER]

After the public proclamations in the paper, one must wonder how Fred felt. Was he embarassed to have his personal life displayed to the public? Or did he feel vindicated that he had done nothing wrong and that Ida was the one made to appearunsavory?

GLENDALE LETTER
On Sunday last, Fred Arbour and Ida Terry hied themselves down to Melrose and were married by John Smith, JP. They returned in the evening andwere the recipients of a glorious charivari.

1887 -- 01 Jun -- Dillon Tribune column notes, "On last Sunday afternoon Fred Arbour, while up on Lion mountain, invited his wife and Mrs. Papa to take a ride down the tramway with him. Everything went well until they struck the steep pitch,just above Greenwood, when the speed of thecar became so great that Fred must have got scared and turned the brake the wrong way, and the car jumped the track and threw Fred and Mrs. Papa against the timbers of the snow shed. The latter wasrendered unconscious and remained so for two hours, but is now much better. Dr. James L. Jones was called in to attend her case and reports her on the mend. Fred Arbour received a deep cut in his forehead and has not yet (Wednesday) fully recovered his consciousness. Dr. Raymond Mitchell is attending upon him and reports some improvement. Mrs. Arbour only received a slight scratch on the face. All these parties can "thank their stars" that they got off as lucky as they did. The wonder is that one of them has left to tell the story."

Notes:

After matching dates, one must conclude that the reason Blanche and Earl separated and subsequently divorced is due to his relationship with Anna. Blanche and Earl married in May 1908, and their son Earl was born later that year. By Apr 1910, Blanche and son Earl lived as boarders, perhaps with friends. Although the elder Earl was no longer around, Blanche still claimed her status as married. Perhaps this was just denial on her part and the couple really had divorced. Or perhapsthey were still legally married even though Earl was in a relationship with Anna. In May 1910, Earl is found livingwith his parents in MT and claims himselfto be divorced. The following Dec 1910, Earl and Anna's son Easton wasborn in MT. Inabout Sep 1918, Earl and Anna had a daughter, Phyllis, born in MT. By Jan 1920, Earl, Anna, and their two children were living in UT. Apparently Blanche and Earl really did divorce at some point because she also remarried, in about 1912, toEdward. In Jan 1918, Blanche and Edward had a son Joseph. By 1923, Blanche, Edward, and Joseph had moved to OR, while son Earl remained in MT. In fact, after the 1910 Census, Blanche was never again notably connected with her son Earl. Perhapshe reminded her too much of his father and she avoided him. In any case, after 1910, young Earl seems to have been taken in and raised by hismaternal grandmother.

Note from Judy : Portland did an extensive street renaming and renumbering in 1931-1933. I'm fairly sure that the Mahoney's 1930 address of 769 SE Caruthers was renumbered as 2307 SE Caruthers, whichis the addresslisted for them in the directoriesIreviewed.

From Julie Re via message board on 16 Feb 2010: I have some pictures that my husband's granny took of the grave sites in Butte Montana of the 2 young children Edward and John. And a picture of Blanche with my mother-in-law in yellowstone in the 50s. I also have an old bible of P. Mahoney that has a section to write births, deaths, and marriages in. It is a little confusing, as it looks like different people have written dates in it over the years going way back to the 1850s. Hopefully I willbe able to view your tree. I am curious to see what other info you have and how we are related.

06 Jun 1888 -- Born in Glendale, Montana, Blanche B. ARBOUR was the eldest of 3 children of shoemaker, clothing store owner, and miner Louis-Joseph-"Alfred" ARBOUR and Ida A. TERRY. Just prior to her20th birthday,Blanche married 20-year oldEarl Matt CLARIDGE on 08 May 1908 in Rochester, MT. Their son, Earl V. CLARIDGE, was born later that year. Arranged in haste, theirs was not a marriage meant to last. By April 1910, thecouple had separated. By May 1910, they had apparently divorced. Afterfurther comparing of dates, one must conclude that the reason Blanche and Earl separated and subsequently divorced is due to his relationshipwith Anna. Blanche and Earl married in May 1908, and Earl was born later that year. By April 1910, Blanche and son Earl lived as boarders, perhaps with friends. Although the elder Earl was no longer around, Blanche still claimed her status as married. Perhaps this was just denial onher part and the couple really had divorced. Or perhaps they were still legally married even though Earl was in a relationship with Anna. In May 1910, the elder Earl was found living with his parents in MT and claimed himself to be divorced. The following December 1910, Earl and Anna's son Easton was born in MT. InaboutSeptember 1918, Earl and Anna had a daughter, Phyllis, born in MT. By January 1920, Earl, Anna, and their two children were living in Utah. ApparentlyBlanche and Earl really did divorce at some point because she also remarried, in about 1912,to Edward L. MAHONEY Jr. Over the next 5 years, Blanche and Edward had 3 sons, although 2 died while very young. Between January 1920 and 1923, Blanche, Edward, and son Joseph moved to Oregon, while herson Earl remained in MT. In fact, after the 1910 Census, Blanche was never again notably connected withher son Earl. Perhaps he reminded her too much of hisfather and she avoided him. In any case, after 1910, young Earl seems to have been taken in and raised by his maternal grandmother. Edward workedfor years in the meat-packing industry, both in MT and OR. He retired in 1955 as Vice President of Northwestern Ice & Cold Storage Co. Seventy-year old Edward died in Portland, OR, on17 March 1958. Blanche was86-years old when she died inPortlandon 08 November 1974. Both of them were buried in Riverview Abbey Mausoleum in Portland. Blanche's obituary claims that she had 3 grandchildren and 12great-grandchildren, although we know virtually nothing of them.She had 3 children with Mahoney

Vivian sailed aboard the Queen Mary on 09 Nov 1945, returning from service in Europe. She was a Corporal with the WAC (Women's Army Corps) andwas among the "High Score Casuals." They were headed forSeparation Center #51 in Fort Des Moines, IA. Herservice number was 912398 and her MOS was 784, making her a Weather Observer. Her Advanced Service Rating was 50, which placed her among the higest scores in the WAC. The Advanced Service Rating Score was the system that the US Army used at the endof WWII in Europe to determine which soldiers were eligible to be sent back to the US for discharge from military service. As the end of the war in Europe became a reality, the US War Department began planning for the "redeployment of Army Personnel" following the end of hostilities. The Readjustment Regulations were first introduced on 15 Sep 1944 and revised 15 Feb 1945 and again on 05 Mar 1945. The rules were simple in general principle: "those who had fought longest and hardest should bereturned home for discharge first." The US Army divided units of the European Theater of Operations into four categories:
troops already designated as Occupation Forces (such as the 3rd and 7thArmy)
troops that had been overseas for less than one year, or those: a) to be redeployed directly to the Pacific; b) to be redeployed to the Pacific by way of the United States; c) to be redeployed to the US to be placed in strategic reserve.
troops or units to be organized (or re-organized) in the European Theater for roles as either Occupation Forces or as troops being redeployed to the Pacific Theater of Operations.
troops with long overseas service that were to remain in Europe only while needed, and then to be returned to the US for inactivation.
New replacement troops would replace the "veterans" returning home. An enlisted man needed a score of 85 pts to be considered for the demobilization. The scores were determined as follows for each:
Month in service = 1 pt
