Belt Valley Times (MT), 11 Nov 1926
Death Comes Suddenly to Pioneer Ranchman
Charles Atkinson, well known to everyone around Belt and Raynesford, died in Great Falls last week and was buried in Belt on Sunday afternoon.
He came to Montana as a young man of 18 and worked for a time in a lumber camp near Missoula. Then he came to Armington where he worked for Mr. Athey and was married to Myrtle Mosier, who died at Raynesford five years ago.
To this union twelve children were born of whom eleven survive: Mrs. Ruth (Mrs. Leon McConkey), Harry, Donald, Lucille (Mrs. Lorne McConkey), George, Mabel, Martha, Jack, Charles, Henry and Howard.
About 1898 Mr. Atkinson homesteaded the ranch where the Thayers now live. In 1917 he sold out the ranch and bought into Kennedy Mercantile Co., at Raynesford. After a few years in this business he disposed of his interests in the store and since that time has been ranching on the Abe Hedrick ranch on Little Belt.
Death came as a result of an operation for gall stones which was necessitated by his critical condition.
The funeral was held from the M. E. church on last Sunday, the Rev. H. T. Strong officiating, assisted by a large choir. At the grave the local lodge of Masons took charge of the services and performed the last sad offices in accordance with the ritual of that order in which Mr. Atkinson was a member. It was a large funeral and the procession extended as far as one could see along the road to the cemetery.
The deceased is mourned not only by his children but by a large circle of friends who had always found him friendly, faithful to his obligations and charitable to those in trouble.
His family have the sympathy of the entire community. They will continue to live on the ranch where Harry will be head of the family and Mabel and Martha will be the housekeepers.
