The Conrad, Campbell, and Stanford
families were prominent families and businessmen of north central Montana,
particularly Fort Benton and Kalispell. The Conrad, Campbell, and Stanford
Family Papers are an extensive collection of correspondence, business records,
and objects from four generations of a very prominent family in
Montana.

Biographical Note
In 1868 two youthful Civil War veterans, William G. and Charles E.
Conrad, first stepped ashore at Fort Benton, Montana Territory, headwaters of
navigation on the Missouri River. Their enterprise quickly lead to employment
by I. G. Baker, owner of one of two trading companies then dominating
transportation and commerce in the American and Canadian northwest. Four years
later the brothers became partners in I. G. Baker and Company; in 1874 they
bought the company. Expanding this virtual empire of riverboat and overland
trade and diversifying into banking, ranching, mining, real estate, diplomacy
and environmental concerns for the next twenty-eight years, the Conrad brothers
played a vital part in the development of the West and of Montana in
particular.
Born on August 3, 1848 to Maria S. (Ashby) Conrad and Colonel James
Warren Conrad, William was the eldest of thirteen children. Charles was born on
May 20, 1850, also on “Wapping,” the family’s plantation in the beautiful
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The Civil War of 1861-1865 took Colonel Warren
to his Virginia militia regiment, while William and Charles grew up riding for
the final two years of the conflict as volunteers with the 43rd Partisan
Rangers and their legendary commander John Singleton Mosby.
Their home devastated by the war, William and Charles first headed
north to New York and then over 3,000 miles [66 days] up the Missouri River to
find opportunity in the burgeoning U.S. and Canadian west. With I. G. Baker,
they soon owned much of the riverboat and ox-drawn freight wagon transportation
system then opening the regions which would become Montana and Alberta,
including all logistic support for the initial Northwest Mounted Police. In
1877, the same year as the Nez Perce War and other disastrous massacres on the
U. S. side of the border, Charles was a successful negotiator for the peace
treaty, Treaty No. 7, which ended warfare between the British government of
Canada and the five tribes of the high plains.
Out of these connections, a young mounted policeman named James T.
Stanford, then serving as administrative assistant to their famous commandant
at the eponymous Fort Macleod, Alberta, and on diplomatic missions to Helena,
Montana, met the Conrads. At the end of his Canadian enlistment, Stanford
emigrated to Ft. Benton, accepted employment with the Conrad’s bank there,
brought the rest of his family west from Nova Scotia, introduced his younger
sister to Charles Conrad, and in 1881 became brother-in-law to the family.
James continued his life as a banker, business leader and entrepreneur. In
1898, the Governor of Montana appointed Stanford Inspector General, with the
rank of Colonel, on his General Staff of the Montana National Guard.
Understanding the coming impact of transcontinental railroads, in
1888-1891 the brothers sold their I. G. Baker & Co. interests in Canada and
left Ft. Benton and found numerous businesses including Conrad Brothers, Inc.,
the Conrad Banking Company of Great Falls, Kalispell Townsite Company, Conrad
National Bank of Kalispell, Conrad Price Cattle Company, Conrad Circle Cattle
Company, and Queen of the Hills Mining Company, as well as the Montana towns of
Conrad and Kalispell (where Charles built the home which is now a national
historical site). Charles E. played an important role in preventing a
threatened extinction of the great western buffalo herds by providing sheltered
ranges for a select group on his Kalispell and other Flathead Valley lands.
This breeding stock would later form a basis for 20th and 21st century herds in
both Canada and the United States.
The Conrad brothers were also a presence in Montana politics. After
serving as the first mayor of Fort Benton, and Choteau County’s delegate to the
1878 Montana Constitutional Convention, W. G. culminated his political career
with an 1899 bid for the United States Senate, though he lost the nomination to
“Copper King” William Clark. C. E., having reluctantly served as County
Commissioner at Fort Benton in 1883, avoided the political limelight in favor
of regional, national and international business interests.
After purchasing I. G. Baker & Co., the Conrad brothers invited
their parents to join them at their western home, which Colonel and Mrs. Conrad
soon accepted. They lived near their boys in Fort Benton from 1874 until their
1891 relocation (along with the families of their son, W. G., and son-in-law
James T. Stanford) to Great Falls. There they continued to reside until the
Colonel’s passing in 1894 at the age of eighty-two years, and Maria’s death ten
years later.
William G. Conrad married Fannie Bowen of Virginia in 1876. The couple
had five children: William Lee (who died at one year of age in 1878), Maria
Josephine, Minnie Atkinson, George Harfield, and Arthur Franklin. They
maintained homes in Great Falls, Helena, and in the area of the Conrad family’s
original plantation near Front Royal in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
Sometime before 1876, Charles E. Conrad married Sings-in-the-Middle,
daughter of a Blackfoot leader of the North Peigan. The couple established
their home in Fort Benton where their son, Charles Edward Conrad, Jr. was born
in 1876. In 1878 Sings-in-the-Middle returned to her father’s tribe in Canada,
where she died prior to 1881. C. E. Jr. remained in the care of his father to
be educated in Canadian schools and at University in Montreal, where he married
and remained until 1905 when he followed his father’s death by just three
years.
Catherine Elizabeth Coggan Stanford had first immigrated to the U.S.
from England to live with relatives in Boston where, in 1853, she’d met a
widowed Nova Scotia businessman named James T. Stanford who pursued Catherine
with long, passionate letters until their marriage two years later. The couple
had four children: James T. Jr., Alicia D., George, and Harry P.. In mid-1879,
Catherine travelled from Nova Scotia on the Steamer ‘Dacotah’ with her
children, Alicia Davenport Stanford and Harry Penn Stanford, to Ft. Benton,
Montana Territory, to join her eldest son, James T. Stanford, Jr.
After his father’s death in 1872, James T. Stanford enlisted in the
then-newly-recruited Northwest Mounted Police, where his small income could
help the family survive. At the end of his enlistment in Alberta, the stalwart
James, now a trusted employee of the Conrad brothers’ I.G. Baker & Co., was
able to bring his family to Fort Benton. There he introduced his sister Alicia
“Lettie” to his patron-employer, Charles Edward Conrad, and saw them married
two years later. Stanford’s brother George became an expert gunsmith and
intrepid trans-Pacific sailor who traveled throughout the American West,
Australia, and Asia before settling the rocky point named after him on the
shores of Flathead Lake near Kalispell. Youngest brother Harry moved to
Kalispell in 1891 and was soon chosen to be the new town’s first Chief of
Police. He built a frontier home and large taxidermy studio and lived the rest
of his active life as a naturalist, writer and historian.
Alicia D. Stanford ran a school for children and young ladies in Fort
Benton until her marriage to Charles E. Conrad in 1881. Charles E. and Alicia
D. Conrad had three children, Charles Davenport “Charlie” (born in Ft. Benton
in 1882), Catherine “Kate” Conrad (born in Fort Benton in 1885), and Alicia
Conrad (born in Kalispell in 1892). Charles E. Conrad died in 1902.
Alicia Conrad married Walter McCutcheon, an employee of the Kalispell
Mercantile Company, in 1914. They had one daughter, Alicia Ann “Timmie,” in
1921. The marriage ended in divorce in 1924. Alicia’s second marriage was to
George Henry Campbell of Great Falls. George Henry Campbell was born in 1890 to
Mary L. Wardwell and Charles Henry Campbell of Westminster West, Vermont.
Growing up on their ranch near Malta and moving into Great Falls for high
school, George graduated from Yale’s Sheffield School of Engineering in 1910
and joined with his father as C. H. Campbell and Son, a central Montana land
management firm. Volunteering in 1917-1918 he flew as a pursuit (fighter) pilot
in the World War I Nieuport and Spad biplanes of the U. S. Army Signal Corps,
Army Air Corps and American Expeditionary Force in France, earning charter
membership in the Order of Daedalians and its Montana Chapter. After the war,
he returned to the partnership with his father. Alicia Conrad and George Henry
Campbell had one son, Charles Conrad Campbell, born in 1928. In 1933 the family
moved back to Kalispell where Alicia’s hereditary Conrad home was her primary
residence until her donation of it to the city as a National Historical Site in
1974, seven years prior to her death at the age of eighty-eight in 1981. George
Campbell died in 1973.
Content Description
The Conrad, Campbell, and Stanford Family Papers are an extensive
collection of correspondence, business records, and objects from four
generations of a very prominent family in Montana. The collection encompasses a
broad range of topics, from immigration to travel journals, taxidermy to
buffalo herds, and from the Kalispell Red Cross to the Conrad Bank. These
papers tell a story of great poverty and wealth in a century of northwestern
development which continues to impact both present and future. Among the first
families to open and settle Montana Territory, the Conrads, Campbells, and
Stanfords played significant roles in trade, transportation, peace-keeping,
commerce, ranching, real estate, land management and the founding of towns.
The collection is divided into thirty-eight series, with each series
containing the papers associated with a particular family member or business.
Within a series, a subseries may identify the types of records, such as
correspondence, financial records, ledgers, associated organizations, or
objects.

C.E. Conrad hired the noted architect, Kirtland "Kirt" Cutter to
design his home in Kalispell. Construction on the mansion began in 1892 and was
completed in 1895. The home rests on seventy-two acres and consists of three
stories with twenty-six rooms, including a library and a music room. Cutter
also designed the landscaping around the mansion. The Conrad family lived in
the home until 1928 when Alicia Conrad McCutcheon married George Campbell and
moved to Great Falls, leaving the home unoccupied. It remained vacant from 1928
until 1933, when Alicia and her husband George returned to Kalispell and
resumed residence there. In 1975 Alicia Conrad Campbell donated the mansion to
the city of Kalispell and assisted in restoration work to restore it to its
original grandeur. In 1976 the Conrad Mansion National Historic Site Museum
officially opened to the public.
The series consists of receipts pertaining to the construction,
upkeep, and furnishing of the Conrad mansion along with a book listing the
furnishings of the house and a shelf list for the library. It includes the

The "Buffalo Block" was a grand, two-story brick store and office
building situated at the northwest corner of the intersection of Main and Third
streets in downtown Kalispell, Montana. Alicia commissioned the building
through the C. E. Conrad Estate in 1910 and hired architect A. J. Gibson to
design it. Funds generated by the sale of buffalo on the Conrad's ranch
provided the majority of the money for the construction. To honor the buildings
beneficiaries Alicia decided on the name Buffalo Block. In 1922, the C. E.
Conrad Estate sold the building to Mr. W. G. Elliot. Elliot owned the building
until a fire destroyed it in 1976.
The series is divided into two Subseries.

animals from Louise and Andrew Stinger, and transferred them to his private
ranch near Kalispell. Conrad’s success as a buffalo breeder soon attracted
national attention, and by the time of his death in 1902 the herd had almost
doubled in size. After his death his wife Alicia was able to turn the ranch
into a profitable commercial based operation.
Correspondence comprises the bulk of this series. Most of the
letters are addressed to Mr. Howard Eton and Mr. Fred Harvey, business advisors
to the Conrad family. A small amount of financial and legal records concerning
the operation of the ranch are present, along with clippings and articles

George Campbell came to Montana Territory with his parents in
1892, where his father formed an ambitious land management company based in
Great Falls and including the massive, innovative, but ill-fated “Sun River
Ranches” project for irrigated farming in western Montana. Young George grew up
on his father’s ranch near Malta, a last center of the fast-fading “old west,”
graduated from Great Falls Highschool in 1907 and the Sheffield Engineering
School at Yale University in 1910; to then join his father in C.H .Campbell
& Son land management. Volunteering in World War I, he served as a pursuit
pilot in France, 1917-1918, earning charter membership in the Order of
Daedalians, before returning to his family partnership in Great Falls. In 1928
George married Alicia Conrad McCutcheon of Kalispell. They relocated to her
Conrad family home in 1933 with their son, Charles Conrad Campbell and his
half-sister, Alicia Ann.
The series contains financial, legal, and personal materals,
including those from an intra-family court case. There are also records
relating to Campbell's business interests, scrapbooks, and memorabilia.
