O'Fallon, Terri (Barta)

Details

DescriptionTerri (Barta) O’Fallon was born on September 17, 1943 and grew up near Danvers, MT, a small town outside of Lewistown, MT. Until after she was married and had children, she regularly attended services at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Danvers and often sang in the choir. Danvers is a small agricultural community settled largely by Bohemian Catholics and located on the Milwaukee Road. St. Wenceslaus Church, a symbol of the Bohemian religious and cultural heritage, was built in 1916. Much of the town’s social gatherings revolved around the church and the hall located across the road. Mrs. O’Fallon’s recollections describe everyday life in Danvers in the 1940s and 1950s, with a focus on St. Wenceslaus and memories of her grandparents. Her stories contain many details that bring the small town of Danvers to life. Particularly interesting are her story about catching her bangs on fire and her reminiscence of Bohemian dances at the hall.
