operational records of several firms owned by Largey and later by his Estate, including the
Butte Hardware Company, Largey Lumber Company, P.A. Largey and Company, Missoula Lumber
Company, Beaverhead Lumber Company, Coeur d'Alene Lumber Company, Passmore Paper Company,
and others. There are also subgroups for several family members. Also included in the

Rachel Brewer, and Largey families, as well as family histories and related clippings. The
charts, family group records, and family history material were compiled by Vicky MacDonald

Biographical Note:
Patrick A. Largey was born on April 2, 1838, on a farm in Perry County, Ohio, the youngest
of eleven children of Patrick and Jane (Cassilly) Largey. As a young man he taught in rural
schools to pay for his education at St. Joseph's College at Somerset, Ohio. After
graduating, he continued teaching for a time, and then moved to Cincinnati, where he became
a bookkeeper. He then traveled by steamboat to Keokuk, Iowa, where he worked for two years
as a clerk in a dry goods store. When that store failed, he returned to Ohio, where he saved
enough money to open his own store in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1861. He sold the store a year
later and went to work as a purchasing agent for the freighting business of his cousin
Edward Creighton.
In 1865 he became captain of one of Creighton's wagon trains, which arrived in Virginia
City, Montana, in the fall of that year. For the next few years he engaged in a variety of
businesses around Montana Territory, including a freighting business, cattle dealing in
Jefferson County, a grocery store in Helena, and the construction of a telegraph line from
Virginia City to Fort Benton by way of Helena and one from Butte to Deer Lodge. For four
years he was a salesman for Creighton and Ohle in Virginia City. He established a hardware
store P.A. Largey and Company, which he eventually sold to Elling, Knight and Company. After
the sale of this store in 1880 he moved to Butte.
In Butte Largey deeply involved himself in developing the economy of the city. He opened
the Butte Hardware Company in March 1881. In 1890 he was one of the incorporators of the
State Savings Bank of Butte and served as its president until his death. He was also one of
the founders of the Brush Electric and Power Company and the Inter-Mountain Publishing
Company.
In 1895 a fire broke out in the Kenyon-Connell Commercial Company warehouse. The fire and
resulting explosion spread to Largey's Butte Hardware Company warehouse. The explosion
resulted in the death and injury of many people. One of those injured, Thomas J. Riley, bore
a grudge against Largey. On January 11, 1898, he walked into the State Savings Bank and shot
Patrick A. Largey to death. Largey left his widow Lulu, two sons Morris Sellers Largey and
Edward Creighton Largey, and two daughters Mary Montana Largey and Lulu Largey. Two other
daughters Grace and Blanche died in early childhood.
Largey's widow Lulu Largey (1854-1918) was born in December 1854 in Cincinnati, Ohio, the
daughter of Morris and Amanda Sellers. She married Patrick A. Largey on April 30, 1877, in
Chicago, Illinois. Lulu administered the Largey Estate with the assistance of John D.
Haines. She married John Catron in January 1907, and continued to be involved in Estate
management. She died in 1918.
Morris Sellers Largey (1880-1956) was educated in civil engineering at Georgetown
University and the University of Michigan. When he came into his majority, he was
increasingly involved in the operation of the Estate's businesses, especially the Largey
Lumber Company, the Coeur d'Alene Lumber Company, the Missoula Lumber Company, and the State
Savings Bank. In addition, Morris became a theater angel in New York, financially supporting
the Will Block Amusement Company, and the Rork Company. He married one of the theater's
actresses Alberta Crissey on November 19, 1908. In 1915 he resigned from the Estate's
enterprises. He briefly remained in Butte as an engineer. In 1930, he was candy manufacturer
in Los Angeles, California, where he died on March 2, 1956.
Edward Creighton Largey (1887-1963) graduated from the University of Michigan in 1909. He
was on the board of directors of several of the family businesses. About 1908, he married
Ursula Hancock, who was also involved with the New York theater. He served in the 1909 and
1911 Montana legislatures. Like his brother, he resigned from the family enterprises in 1915
and left Butte. In 1930 he was manager of a bowling alley in a Chicago suburb. He died in
Long Beach, California, on November 22, 1963.
Lulu Largey (1882-1916) married Frank McGinn in 1902. She died in 1916 in Omaha,
Nebraska.
Mary Montana Largey (1889-1919) married Raymond Joseph MacDonald (1879-1956) in 1908. He
became the president and manager of the Largey Estate and later organized the R.J. MacDonald
Company to manage many of the Estate's assets. He also was president of the Intermountain
Transportation Company. He was active in many civic organizations, including the Butte
Community Memorial Hospital, the Crippled Children's Auxiliary, and the Butte Chamber of
Commerce.
Their son Raymond Bourke MacDonald (1918-1973) eventually took over many of the family
businesses, including the Largey Lumber Company. He also was active on the Silver Bow County
Airport Commission. On his death he willed his valuable Wild Horse Island property to the
state as a park. He also willed this family collection to the Montana Historical Society.
Collection consists of personal papers of Patrick A. Largey and members of his extended
