Carl Lee Grossman, 92, died of natural causes Wednesday at a Fort Benton hospital.
His funeral is 11 a.m. Monday at Benton Funeral Home in Fort Benton, with burial in Riverside Cemetery.
Carl was born Feb 3, 1917, in Great Falls, to Frank and Onia Pinkston Bailey Grossman. He grew up on his father's homestead near Shonkin and attended school there through eighth grade. He learned to farm with horses from his dad, and also helped neighbors. During the Depression, he worked in a Civilian Conservation Corps camp in the Little Belt Mountains.
Carl enjoyed farming his whole life and appreciated the progression from horses to steel-wheeled machines to four-wheel drive John Deeres.
He leased the Buck place at the top of Lost Lake in 1939. He and his brother, Henry, purchased it in 1946.
He met Violet Lippert at a dance and courted her for awhile. They married on April 12, 1941, and moved out to the ranch, where they raised four sons.
Besides his love of farming, Carl liked to visit and travel in his motor home. He was devoted to caring for his beloved wife until her passing on Sept. 30, 2007. He sorely missed her in the ensuing time.
In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his parents; a son, Dennis; and great-granddaughter Abby.
Survivors include his sons, Roger (Debby) Grossman of Clark Fork, Idaho, Stephen (Nancy) Grossman of Shonkin, and Darel (Mary Ann) Grossman of Chinook; a brother, Henry Grossman of Shonkin; three granddaughters; six grandsons; 10 great-grandchildren and two nephews.
Memorials may be sent to the Chouteau County Rural Fire Department.
