Julie,
I did receive your email but have been slow to check online this week.
The photo we have of Perrin and Margaret is large, we are technically challenged but Joel has taken "a picture of a picture" and says he will forward it to the list tomorrow (out running errands and has a meeting tonight)!
The "Princes" Albert Cooley first showed up on that federal census and we thought it was misspelled. Then the photo of his gravestone also showed Princes. The Helena MT directories have him as P. Albert I believe. We chuckled it might have been after Prince Albert-in-a-can, an old practical joke (dates us). No reason known!
Good hunting, Julie!
Nancy
