He must have had the heart of a lion. Something drew me to his image. Nobby - there is some detail on him and family in the US - are you aware that the family is mentioned on the Mount Haggin / Deer Lodge Bi-centenial project (1976) a potted biography of the family, also on the US Census'.
It appears he did'nt go over to the US and do easy jobs either. What a man, and admirable couple. Something about him in his pic, a quality.
Thankyou for the information. To conclude his story. Thomas McNay and Bridget Gibson arrived in Anaconda in the spring 1908 and started farming. McNay operated the farm and developed Anaconda's first garbage disposal service. He became an employee of the Anaconda Company's Reduction Plant, serving in the acid plant and as foreman in the Convertor plant and in the Slag Dump. They raised nine children, five boys and 4 girls.
This is a picture of my great grandmother and grandfather. I am the youngest son of their son, James A. McNay from Anaconda, Montana. I remember this picture from a photo album we still have, and it is wonderful to see it here. We are working on a full family tree at this point. If anyone has any relative information from this side, I would love to receive it. Thank you.
