Joe Livermont was born December 4. 1904 near Cody, Nebraska where his parents, Joseph Edwin (Ed) and Martha (Rooks) Livermont were living. He grew up on the ranch in southeastern Bennett County. Ed and Martha had a new house built in 1913. It was built by Ed with help from his brothers and Anton Tsiska. The house was sold to Dr. Sebring in 1949 and was moved to Martin and remodeled. It still stands at the edge of Martin near Highway 18.

Joe attended grade school at Cody, Nebraska and Cedar Lake School in Bennett County. He attended high school at Haskell Institute in Kansas, then attended Rapid City Business School for a year. He returned to the family ranch in Bennett County.

In 1931 he married Gladys Redmond from Fairfax, SD. They lived in various places in the Vetal area while Joe continued ranch work with his brothers. In 1940 they moved to a ranch on the edge of the badlands a mile north of Wanblee. There he and Gladys raised their family of six children, Jewell Dunham, Jackie Livermont, Joe Livermont jr., Joanne (Joan) Greenough, Jim Livermont, and Jay Livermont.

Joe lived the next 35 years of his life enjoying ranch life. It was there that he suffered a fatal heart attack. He died on Thanksgiving Day, 1975 while watching a football game with his family. He would have celebrated his 71st birthday the following week.
