THE JOE GOULET FAMILY HISTORY; by Cora (Coulet) Safty
In the fall of 1909 Joe Goulet came from Oakwood, North Dakota and filed a homestead claim.He built a two-room house, and in the spring of 1910 he returned, bringing his wife, Nellie (Parent) and four children. They came as far as Medicine Lake in an immigrant car, and from there they formed a wagon train with Alfred parent (Nellie's dad), Wilfred Parent, Joe Parent and Art Gourde.It took them three days to get to their destination.We all lived within two or three miles of each other - three miles west of Flaxville.They did their shopping at a small inland village called Orville about three miles south of our place.Then the railroad came in 1914 and the town of Flaxville was started.
The first school was then built - helen Hansen was our first teacher - three children were then ready for school.We used the horse and buggy to get to school but if the horse was needed for field work, we walked! As the years passed there was much progress.Joe built a home in Flaxville for the winter months; he acquired more land, a section and 80 acres.He had the first car in the neighborhood - a Model T - which he bought in 1914.In 1916 he added on to the house.It had four bedrooms upstairs and two on the lower level, with bathroom and carbide lights. The lumber was hauled from Medicine Lake.
Many dances were held at our home and other neighborhood gatherings. Masses were read by Father Hennessy from Culbertson at our house, too, in the years before the Catholic Church was built in Flaxville.
They had a family of thirteen children - two died in infancy - so ours was a very busy home.I remember clans of people who travelled throughout our area called gypsies.They were quite harmless; all they wanted was a handout of food.It also seemed to us that the Indians were almost afraid of the white people in those early days.In the fall Joe would be gone for some time with several of the neighbors digging coal for fuel for the long winter months ahead.At first we gathered buffalo chips for fuel to keep us warm over the winter monts.I also remember Mother saving all the chicken feathers for feather ticks which were our mattresses in those days.Joe even tanned some cow hides to use in the sled in the winter time.We had a milk route at one time -- the three older children milked four cows each before going to school in the morning and others helped by getting milk bottles ready, etc.Joe also had the first school bus -- by that time he had a bus load of his own. Our favorite summertime pasttime was snaring gophers or drowning them out.
Joe and Nellie retired in 1945.They bought a home and moved to Scobey. The farm was then farmed by their son, Eugen and his family. The farm house burned to the ground during Christmas week of 1952. Another house was moved to the place; after this Eugene moved to Kalispell and the farm was bought by a son-in-law, George Safty (husband of Cora), whose son Ronnie rented and later bought the place.This homestead has remained in the family ever since its origin in 1909.Joe planted many beautiful trees - at one time there were trees all around the farm.Ronnie has done considerable remodeling to the home since he has lived there.
Joe and Nellie Goulet celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on July3, 1952.They had, at that time, forty-seven grandchildre and six great-grandchildren.Joe passed awayApril 21, 1959 at the age of 85. Nellie passed away September 21, 1963 at the age of 78.Their family included:Alfred, the eldest, deceased; Amanda Barge of Kalispell; Cora Safty of Scobey; Ovila deceased; Jeannet Cavanaugh of Scobey; Eugene, deceased; Raymond of Colfax, California; Doris Johnson of Kalispell; Earle of Kalispell; Pearl Tiegen of Troy, Montana; and Geraldine Lindsay of Englewood, Colorado.
