James C Nedrow

Among the patriotic and loyal young men of Montana who rendered efficient service in the United States army during the late Spanish-American war is Mr Nedrow, who was a volunteer soldier and who served with signal efficiency in the Philippines during the time when these oriental possessions of the United States were being wrested from Spanish control and the initial stages of the work of quelling the rutbulent and insubordinate natives. After his military experience Mr Nedrow returned to Montana and is not numbered among the successful and energetic farmers and stock growers of Beaverhead County.

James C Nedrow is a native of the state of Nebraska, having been born on the parental farmstead in Jefferson County on May 23, 1873, one of the ten children of Simon and Sarah (Riddle) Nedrow, who were born in Indiana and Illinois respectively, and who located in Nebraska as pioneers of 1861, the father there devoting his attention to agricultural pursuits.

The subject of this review received his early education in the public schools of Abilene, Kansas and thereafter was concerned in the cattle business in Colorado and Wyoming for some time; and in 1893 came to Montana being still identified with this important line of industry.

In 1898 he enlisted in Company E, First Montana Volunteer Infantry, with which he went to the Philippine Islands in the month of July 1898, sailing on a transport from San Francisco, after the regiment had been stationed for a time at Camp Merritt. They landed in the city of Manila where our subject continued in active service until 23 Aug 1900, when he returned with his regiment to California and was honorably discharged and mustered out at the Presidio on Oct 14, 1900. He participated in all the battles in which his regiment took part and it is a matter of record that the First Montana earned the highest encomiums for its valiant and efficient service in the field.

From California Mr Nedrow returned to Montana and in the month of October came to his present location in the Big Hole valley of Beaverhead County where he now has a good ranch of 640 acres, a considerable portion of which is available for cultivation, yielding excellent crops of hay and various cereals. Here Mr Nedrow has engaged in the raising of cattle and hay and is making definite progress, directing his judgement and indefatigable energy, which augur well for cumulative success coming to him as a farmer and stock-grower.

In politics he gives his support to the Republican party, taking a consistent interest in all public affairs of a local nature.

On Nov 6, 1900 Mr Nedrow was united in marriage to Miss Jennie J Jackson, who was born in Germany, whence as a child she accompanied her parents to Montana on their emigration to America. Her father is now engaged in cattle ranching in Big Hole Valley, Beaverhead County.
