Fark, Milburn F. Jr.

Details

DescriptionI gave a presentation on the oral history project to a group of residents at Magic City Terrace in Billings, Montana on Monday, June 13, 2016. I met Mr. Fark and found that his father, Milburn F. Fark, Sr. and his maternal grandfather, Jesse L. Warren both homesteaded on the Huntley Project. Jesse Warren was a mountain man in the area north of Pompeys Pillar who mostly earned his living from hunting, trapping and carpentry work. Mr. Fark spoke at length about growing up on the Huntley Irrigation project in the small town of Nibbe, Montana. His father worked for the CCC and also served in WWII. He also spoke about his son, Randy Fark and his grand daughters Brittany and Sara. Sara was killed in a school bus accident in 2008 when she was 6 or 7 years old. I was able to find a photograph of his paternal grandfather, Christian Fark and another photo of his great grandfather, John (John) Fark who immigrated from Germany to America in the mid-1800's and lived in German town, Ohio.
