Elkhorn, MT Family Connection
So that "feeling" I had when Em, Addi and I went to the Elkhorn ghost town and cemetery, that feeling that I wanted to know more about what happened in this town and learn more about the people who lived there, somehow made sense when my Aunt Moni emailed me after reading my blog and told me that my mother's mother, my great-grandmother, Wilma Charlotte Wood, was born there on August 13, 1913. My mom said the cabin she was born in was still there. I had no idea. I want to do some further investigating to find out if any of my relatives were buried at that cemetery.
