Deer Lodge, Jan. 17. -- Horace Countryman, a well-known pioneer resident of Montana, died at his country home near Columbus, Yellowstone county, Saturday night last after an illness of several weeks. In the early days of Montana's mining and milling industries Mr. Countryman served the commonwealth as its chief millwright, his mechanical ability in difficult branches of quartz mill erection gaining for him a wide reputation and large pecuniary gains. It was he who superintended the building and successful operation of the first steam ore crusher in the territory - that of Sunrise group at Highland, near Virginia City, in 1867. In 1869 Mr. Countryman, with his family, moved in the van of the placer stampeders to old Silver Bow, where he followed his vocation for two seasons, in the spring of 1870 moving to Deer Lodge, where he built the cottage on East Missouri avenue owned at present by H. H. Zenor. At the time of his death Mr. Countryman was in the 74th year of a moral and very useful life. He was a member of the Billings and Deer Lodge Masonic orders, and the burial will be under the direction of Deer Lodge Chapter, the remains to be laid beside his wife, who died in this city in 1872. The funeral party, among whom are his son, Henry Countryman of Columbus and daughter, Mrs. F. H. Woody of Missoula, are expected to arrive in Deer Lodge on tomorrow morning's Northern Pacific train from the East, and the funeral will occur from the Masonic Temple at 2:30 in the afternoon.
