Edward Newton Brandegee.
To be numbered among Montana's most distinguished citizens is Edward Newton Brandegee, president of the Montana Clinton Copper Company, the Linus Mining Company, the Wilson Placer Company and vice-president of the Pope-Atchison Hardware Company. He is a man of well deserved prominence, not only in mining and real estate business but in public and political life. An expert botanist, he has made large contributions to botanical work in the state in the line of furthering fruit culture and in extinguishing such pests and diseases as menace its fullest prosperity. He has served as the state inspector-at-large of the fruit pest, and in the years 1902 and 1903, was president of the State Board of Horticulture. He is one of Montana's Yale men and comes of an unusually fine race, whose characteristics have been transmitted to him in definite degree.
Mr. Brandegee was born in Berlin, Connecticut, March 28, 1865. His father, Elisha Brandegee, born in 1814, died in 1884, his summons to the "Undiscovered Country" coming while a resident in Berlin. He was a physician of unusual attainments and engaged in practice in that place for half a century. He married Florence Stith, daughter of Major Townshend Stith.
Mr. Brandegee, immediate subject of this review, received his first droughts at "the Pierian Spring" in the schools of New Britain, Connecticut, and completed his education in Yale University, graduating from that famous institution with the class of 1886. His first industry after leaving college was to engage in real estate business in Kansas City, Missouri, where he remained for one year. He subsequently removed to Denver, Colorado, and after residing there for a short period, he came on to Helena, which was to be the scene of his very successful career. His arrival in the city was on April 5. 1889, and he has ever since resided here, taking an enlightened and effective part in the many-sided life of the thriving community. . He has been chiefly concerned in mining and real estate and his more important offices and associations have been alluded to in a preceding paragraph.
Mr. Brandegee was married in 1899, the young woman to become his wife being Miss Harriet Pope, daughter of Francis and Hannah Pope, natives of Montana and of the finest pioneer stock. Their union was celebrated in this city. They share their charming household with two children: Florence Stith Brandegee and Harriet Pope Brandegee. Their residence is situated at 327 North Rodney street, while Mr. Brandegee's offices are located in those of the Union Bank & Trust Company.
Mr. Brandegee's paternal ancestors came to America from England at an early date and served in the colonial and early American wars. The maternal ancestors were also of English stock, arriving on our shores prior to the Revolution, in which they gave service in the Continental line. The family has produced an unusual number of patriots and men of staunch citizenship.
