William Freeman FamilyOne further tribute to miners and their families.
In 2026 I heard from Karen Walter - walterkm@cox.net who has given me some information on her Freeman family history. Her Aunt Edith Freeman used to visit for Christmas and always brought shortbread cookies, that Karen loved. Karen also sent me this coorespondence: However, people looking at the website would probably be interested to know that Florence married Roy Wadsworth. Roy became camp manager at YBRA (Yellowstone-Bighorn Research Association), south of Red Lodge, and supervised the construction of the original buildings that are now on the National Register of Historic Places. Florence was the beloved camp cook. If YBRA isn't mentioned on the website, you might want to find a way to add it. I have copies of the correspondence between Roy Wadsworth and Professor Thom of Princeton University on the building of the camp. To think folks in the little mining town of Red Lodge were working directly with academics from an Ivy League institution in the 1930's is amazing. Lillian Freeman was Karen's grandmother. She was married to Harry Walter. My grandfather worked in the Smith mine and was part of two rescue and recovery teams that went into the mine after the explosion in 1943
