Nicholas Maginot came to Boston from Alsace Lorraine France with a wife and five boys in 1852. The boys were Adam, Peter, Nicholas, Frederick, and one that we do not know the name of. Nicholas had a brother that came to Boston before him so they went to Boston first. We also do not know the name of the brother.

His wife died shortly after they came to Boston about 1853. After that, the family moved to St John Indiana and Nicholas remarried and had a second family. The son whose name we do not know died shortly after they arrived in St John Indiana.

Similar versions of the same story:

During the Civil Way, Fredrick and his brother Nicholas went into the Union Army. They had a field command post or something under a tree someplace, they walked by and told an Army officer what their name was, and the name was written down M A S H I N O instead of M A G I N O T. The two brothers were interested in getting their pension from the Army and also their citizenship, so they just let it go at that, so two brothers of that family carried a different name.

Nicholas and Fredrick joined the Union Army during the Civil War (1861-1865) and served in Co. G, 12th I.V.C. The Officer who took the information from them spelled their names "MASHINO" which is the French pronunciation of "MAGINOT". After the war, Nick & Fred received their Civil War Pension under MASHINO so that is why they kept that spelling.

Fred met his wife Fidella in Pennsylvania during the Civil War.

Frederick settled west of Lake Village, Indiana, on a farm. Fred and Fidella raised their 10 children on the farm. After he quit farming, they moved to Momence and Morocco, Indiana.

9. JOHN ADRIAN4 MASHINO (FREDRICK (MASHINO)3 MAGINOT, NICHOLAS2, JOHANNES NICHOLAS1) was born September 3, 1870 in Lake Village, Indiana, and died September 11, 1943 in Montana. He married "BELLE" ARMANDA BELLE RAINFORD December 22, 1897 in Newton County, Indiana (Source: Newton County, Indiana Marriage Records.), daughter of GEORGE RAINFORD and MARGARET WILCOX. She was born November 20, 1877 in Rockville Twp, Illinois, and died November 21, 1976 in Helena, Montana.

  • 1900 Census Indiana Newton County: John's occupation was farmer. He listed his father as born in Germany. John and Belle had been married for two years.

1930 Montana Golden Valley Co. School District 44, household 1 line 1

John ran a general store and post office at Hopkins Park, IL around 1904. He lived on the Mashino farm near Lake Village until 1910 when he went west and homesteaded a ranch near Lavina, Montana. Then he moved his family from Indiana, Belle, Leonard, and Madeline, to the ranch in September 1911.

John was a strict disciplinarian. In homestead days he was away quite a lot.

He brought a well drill outfit from a small oil field in Indiana to Montana and drilled wells for homesteaders, so the first few years he was busy drilling wells for people that might have some money. He didn't always get money though. Sometimes he got cattle, sometimes horses. They had the most streaked bunch of cattle you ever saw because he got cattle of all kinds.

One time he took in an automobile, a 1910 Kissel Kar. The fellow that owned it explained to him how it worked. The gear shift was on the wrong side out over the running board, four speeds forward. It wasn't a very practical car and they had a pole to use to pull it home with horses when it stopped working. This was in 1925. Leonard scrapped the car to get money to go to the university. He got $26.50 for the brass and aluminum. He sold it to a junk dealer in Billings.

He had a good sense of humor and fairly round tummy with rosy cheeks. He liked his jokes, especially on other people.

During an interview with Marian Sutton, Leonard Mashino (John's son) was asked if his father was republican or democrat. He said that during the homestead days, the candidates running for office would come around and start giving their pitch. John would say "It's too bad, wrong part" no matter which party they were!

In 1926, they raised 13 lambs that Leonard brought home from the Slayton Ranch. In the early 30's the grasshoppers took that country and there just wasn't anything left for anything to eat. That is when John had to take all the cattle and ship them out. He got very little for them and they were in bad condition because of the draught, and at the same time the markets were bad because the US opened their gates and let the Canadian cattle in.

What little money they had along with money Verlie working at Fort Peck doing construction as a carpenters helper, they bought a hundred head of ewes, and that is how they got started in the sheep business. That was in about the mid 30's. the first winter they fed those sheep on cactus. John had a kerosene torch and he burnt the stingers off the cactus and the sheep would come in and eat them. There is a picture of John burning the cactus. He carried a broomstick when he burnt the cactus to keep the sheep back out of the flames. Cactus is a high protein food.

From Deb Madderom:

John acquired a well drilling outfit and drilled water wells in the Lavina area. Later on he bought a Rumley steam engine and farm equipment to use with it. He'd then thrash grain for the farmers in the area. He was a Charter member of the Masonic Lodge in Lavina.

Their homestead was 15 miles from school so they moved to town every winter. Finally a home was built and they moved in. On Nov 10, 1914, Madeline began school and for 18 years during the winter Belle and the children lived in town.

  • 1900 Census Indiana Newton County: John and Belle had been married 2 years. They had 1 child but she didn't live.

1910 Indiana, Newton Co. Lake Twp, household 1 line 1

  • 1910 Census Indiana Newton County: 5 children had been born and 2 were still living. This census found Belle, Leonard, and Madeline living with Belle's brother Walter.

1930 Montana Golden Vallen Co. School District 44, household 1 line 1

Belle was a hardworking person, and she never thought much of self. It was always for others the way it seemed. She had a good sense of humor. She loved people.

She was about 5 foot 3 inches with a slight build, 100 pounds wringing wet (according to Leonard her son). She had blue eyes, brown hair that didn't turn gray for a long time.

She lived alone for many years after John died. Later she went to Helena to live with Madeline. In 1958, she fell and broke her hip and they put a pin in it. Her body rejected the pin and eventually it was removed.

She was quite sickly during her life but on the other hand (per Leonard) she was the toughest gal you ever knew. In 1935 she had surgery in Great Falls and had a large abdominal tumor removed which had been bothering her for a long time.

Belle did quite a lot of canning. She even canned antelope which was illegal but they had to eat something. She taught her children that it was big jack rabbits. She canned mostly beans and corn.

Kathy Miller Bolam remembers visiting Belle Mashino at her house in Lavina. She remembers playing with the wild kittens and running outside to use the outhouse!

From Deb Madderom:

Belle was the youngest child of Dr George and Margaret Rainford. When she was one her family moved to Lake Village, Indiana where she grew up. She enjoyed going with her father when he would take her on his calls to care for the sick. She felt so proud, sitting on the buggy with her father, as the horse trotted along.

On Dec 22 1897, John and Belle were married. For a few years they had a store and a blacksmith shop in Hopkins Park, Illinois. While there, their son Leonard was born. Later they spent a few years on a farm, near Lake Village, and their daughter Madeline was born.

In Sept 1911, Belle, the children, belongings, and a dog left for Montana by train from Chicago. John had left the year before and filed a claim for a homestead near Lavina, Montana. John built a log cabin on it which was their new home. Walt Rainford also went with Belle. On Sept 20, 1911, they arrived in Lavina, Montana. Walt filed a claim for a homestead close to them. Verlie was born to Belle and John here.

Belle must have inherited a knack for caring for the sick from her parents. She helped many when in need or while waiting for the doctor to arrive. Once, a baby had pneumonia and the doctor said he had done all he could but Belle spent the night with the baby keeping him warm and greasing him with goose grease and vapor-rub. By morning, the congestion broke and the baby was well soon after. Another time, the doctor couldn't come help a neighbor deliver a baby because of muddy roads and he was also busy delivering another baby. A car couldn't get through. Belle, who had never rode a horse before, road one that day, as John lead the horse to deliver the neighbor's baby. It was a baby boy.

Belle worked in the church and became a Charter member of the Eastern Star Chapter in Lavina.

Belle was a kind and happy person. Laughter came easy for her and people liked being with her because of her wit and humor. When she could no longer live alone, she went to Helena to live with her daughter Madeline.

On Belle's 99th birthday Belle said, "I made it, I am 99 today". The next day Belle died and went to be with her loved ones that had gone before her.

Leonard Mashino lived near Lake Village, IN until 1911 when he, his mother, and sister Madeline moved to Montana to join their father. In 1929, he took a job on dam construction for the Montana Power Company until he retired in 1969.

There wasn't much as far as toys around for the children to play with. Leonard remembers building a tractor that he built the wheels for. They had rough lumber, and he took a 12 inch board and cut out the squares, cut them in 12 inches square, and then laid them crosswise to grain and round them off so they would roll. "You amuse yourself with what you have".

Up until age 4-5, Leonard's father called him "Fatty" because he was such a healthy baby.

Leonard was 10 years old when he started school. School was so far away that he waited for his sister Madeline, four years younger, to go to school.

The Mashino children lived 14 miles from town so when school was in session, they had to live in town. They had to wait until the fall work was done before starting the school year so it was always a game of catching up each year.

Leonard's nickname was Spud. The kids called him Mashed Potato for MASHINO and then Spud for short.

Leonard played High School basketball for three years. He always missed the first part of practice because he didn't live in town. The last year Lavina, being the size of school it was, had only five to take on the team, and there were no substitutes. The local people never saw them beat that year. Before the tournament in Lewistown, they were beaten by one point in Ryegate. The other teams they played were Ryegate, Barber, Shawmut, Belmont, Broadview, Rapelje, Acton (once), Musselshell, Melstone, and Roundup.

Leonard also ran track in High School. He ran the half mile, quarter mile, and high jumped (not really high).

A typical day on the ranch follows:

When the kids got old enough to work in the fields, the typical day started at 4AM and went until dark. Leonard took care of the horses. He did the wrangling of the horses and harnessing. The horses were all wrangled and harnessed before breakfast. The girls in the family did not work in the fields. They took care of cattle.

Before they began using the steam engine for plowing, they used horses. Many times they used 8 horses on a disc, big ten foot disc. An ordinary horse disc was eight feet in those days.

Leonard broke the horses. He wasn't a bronc rider but tried to gentle break them. If they started to buck, he had the theory that you had to follow through and let them buck all they wanted to make them buck some more to get it out of their system.

Leonard saved up all his money to be able to go to college. He had saved up $100 when his father needed money. His father traded him one Heffer cow for the money. Leonard worked hard and turned the one cow (with calf at the time) into 16 head of cattle. He sold the herd for $250 to go to college. He attended the University of Montana in Missoula for 1 quarter and ran out of money. He worked in the college cafeteria washing dishes to earn some money but it was not enough to keep him in school.

In 1929, Leonard spent 3 months in Chicago going to Coin Electrical School.

Leonard got interested in photography when he saw trick photography in the first issue of Life magazine. He started buying photography books and eventually learned photography - taking pictures and printing them. His first camera was one of the first Argus Model A's which he purchased for $12.50 and an enlarger which also cost $12.50. He later got an Eastman 35 and practiced taking pictures on the neighbor children. When the war came along, photographic paper was hard to get so he sold all of his equipment at that time. After the war, he got another enlarger and camera and printed black and white pictures of the neighbor kids. He would put 7 pictures onto one 8 x 10 which is a montage. He soon discovered that he knew too many people who had children.

During the war, Leonard raised rabbits for meat. They had ration coupons for meat so this was how they subsidized their meat. He sold rabbits around town for a dollar a piece.

He was a past Master of the Masonic Lodge in Great Falls-118. He transferred his membership to Dillion and became a 50 year member in 1988. (1938-1988). Now he doesn't have to pay dues.

In 1949 Great Falls, he was the President of the IBEW union. He was sent to Atlantic City as a union delegate in 1950.

Another time he represented the union (and was paid by Montana Power to do it) in Washington DC. He testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee concerning a power line from Shelby to Havre. The Montana Power already had power to Shelby and would use aluminum wire (non-union made). Dad had stopped by to see the national president of the union, Dan Tracy (formerly Secretary of Labor under Roosevelt) and he provided the lawyer for the national IBEW union the opportunity to sit by him in the event he was needed.

In Dillon, he was Rotary President at the time of their 50th anniversary.

In 1961, Leonard became a member of the Turtle Club. This is a club that the Power Company has for people who were saved by wearing their safety helmets. Late one afternoon, Leonard found himself on a ladder with 4160 volts arcing around and over his body. Because he was wearing his safety helmet, he survived but suffered from a seared neck and side of the face for a long time. "The cause was called human error. I had been adjusting a disconnect switch and forgot to open it. So it amounted to charging a shorted 50 KV transformer". (Quote from Leonard).

Leonard was the Public Administrator in Dillon for 3 years. In 1975 he was appointed to the post. He was elected to a full term in 1976.

Leonard organized a senior drop-in center in Dillon by getting the merchants to donate 1) a room in a downtown building, 2) furniture, 3) a TV, and 4) a coffee pot. Later he spearheaded a drive for Betty Crocker coupons to get a van for senior field trips. Sometime later, he worked on setting up a government low-cost apartment house for seniors. It became the Bi-Centennial Apartments with 50 units that are always occupied and appreciated. He was on the Architectural Committee and served as President of the Board for the Dillon Bi-Centennial Apartments for many years. After moving to Seattle, he went back to Dillon for the annual meetings whenever possible.

In Dillon, he was the first president for the newly organized AARP and held that position for two terms.

He was chairman of the successful Dillon Rotary Fish Derby for 8 years.

He was a member and elder of the Dillon Presbyterian Church.

He attended the 1980 AARP National Convention in Seattle, and received an award representing the Western Division (9 states) for community support for seniors. Leonard says that was the result of some good words put together by Ralph Kneeland from the college.

This information was gathered from an interview with Marian Sutton (typed up separately), preparation for his 90th birthday party, and from talking to his granddaughter Kathy Miller Bolam.

Leonard has always been a very good story teller so I'm sure there will be lots more information to put here!

On November 25, 2004, Leonard Mashino turned 100 years old. He celebrated by helping plan his 100th birthday party with his daughter and her husband, Shirley & Dave Hanke, his wife LaVelle Mashino, and LaVelle's daughter Linda Dunham. They planned the party for an entire year and Leonard got to make all the big decisions. It was a cowboy themed party and each of the 20 tables had memorabilia on them that covered the 100 year span and touched on Leonard's life. It was held at Leonard & LaVelle's church and 140 people attended. Forty-three of those folks were relatives, all except 7 of them traveled from quite a distance to get there. There was entertainment, a genealogy slide show, stories told on Leonard, and several jokes told by Leonard. It was a fun day. (Kathy Bolam)

Marriage Notes for LEONARD MASHINO and ATHA STELLMON:

Atha and Leonard were married in 1928 in Billings. They lived in Lavina for a while. Leonard went to work for the power company in 1929 and worked there for 40 years.

In the winter of 1928-29, Leonard went to trade school in Chicago. During this time, Atha was teaching near Forsyth. Before she taught there, she taught at Devines in the Pocket. She quit the Devines job to get the bigger job near Forsyth.

Notes for MARGARET TULLOCK:

Census Info:

1930 Montana, Golden Valley Co. School District 41 Lavina, household 33 line 99

Many of my (Kathy Miller Bolam) relatives went to Intermountain Union College together: Margaret Tullock (step-Grandma), Atha Stellmon (Grandma), Clarice Stellmon (Great Aunt), Glem Stellmon (Great Uncle), Robert E Miller (Grandpa), Elva Sweetland (Grandma), Vera Sweetland (Great Aunt), and Edith Sweetland (Great Aunt). There may have been others but I don't know of them. Elva, Vera, and Edith's father, my Great Grandfather, was a janitor at the college. Leon Sweetland was the President of the college.

Margaret was a school teacher most of her adult life. In Lavina she taught High School, Bozeman 8th grade, Helena 6th grade, Dillon 5th grade, and in Phillipsburg she taught Head Start. There were other places too.

In Hall, (between Phillipsburg and Drummond, the teacher left mid school year. It was a tough bunch of kids and very hard work. They asked Margaret to finish the year. They promised if she had any trouble, they'd be right there to help. She took the job. One day one of the boys would not recite for her. She went over and pulled him by the hair on his head. He recited for her. The next day he came with his hair shaved very close saying "now you won't be able to get me". She showed the kids who was boss and after that day, never had any trouble with that group of kids.

Margaret and Atha Stellmon were college roommates. When Margaret graduated, she went to Lavina where Atha was. This is where she met Steve.

Margaret loved the kids she taught and they loved her. That was evident especially after she died with the notes and flowers Leonard received. One student wrote, "She was the best teacher I ever had".

Margaret loved her grandchildren and treated them like adults. She made us feel like what we said really mattered to her.

When she met Leonard, she was working at Hallmark in Kent, Washington.

LaVelle taught Kathy Miller Bolam how to crochet.

v. MADELINE MASHINO, b. May 5, 1908, Lake Village, Indiana; m. "LYLE" WILLIAM LYLE ROESELER, June 15, 1941, Billings, Montana; b. April 2, 1902, Benton Harbor, Michigan; d. October 13, 1972, Helena, Montana.

Census Info:

1910 Indiana, Newton Co. Lake Twp, household 1 line 1

Madeline was named by "Aunt Grace" when she was 10 days old. Madeline has no middle name.

Madeline taught school from 1925-1941 until she married Lyle. She often traveled and assisted Lyle in his job.

Madeline took care of her mother, Belle, in her later years.

From an article in the Hunters Pointe Newsletter:

HUNTERS POINTE SENIOR CELEBRITY FOR JANUARY 2000 Madeline Roeseler was born on May 5, 1908 in a farmhouse near Lake Village, Indiana. When she was three and a half, her family boarded a homesteaders train to Lavina, Montana, where her father homesteaded north of town. During WWI the government pushed the farmers to grow more wheat. Madeline's father leased a section of land that he cultivated. It was located about 15 miles from their farm. She shares memories of the steam engine they used to pull the plow, disc and seeder for working that piece of land. She said it took two men to work the machine, with one hauling water and stoking the coal, and another driving it. (How many of you remember those rumbly engines and the metal-cogged wheels?) Her father also used the thrashing machine to harvest other farmer's lands, and drilled wells to earn extra money during those hard years.

At just 10 years old, Madeline was in charge of cooking for the hired men as they worked the other section of land. They camped in a tent and a boxcar served as a dining room. She cooked on a small wood camp stove during the week, but it was too small to meet the baking demands. So on weekends they'd make a trek home with their team of horses - to obtain cakes and breads her mother baked for them during the week.

Madeline attended school in Lavina and graduated from high school in 1925, at just seventeen. Without the conveniences of modern transportation, education for children was a sacrifice for many rural families. Madeline's parent's farm was 14 miles from town. So to enable school attendance during the winter months, Madeline's mother seasonally moved her children into town.

With aspirations of being a schoolteacher, Madeline earned money to pay for the first quarter of tuition to "normal school" by saving her hard-earned proceeds from raising chickens. She completed the remainder of her schooling by teaching in rural schools in the winters and attending summer school. In August of 1933, she graduated from Eastern Montana Normal School. Then she went on to teach in rural schools for seven years. She commented to me that, "In those days, there were no radios and TVs, and the only entertainment was talking about the teachers."

One of the locations Madeline taught was Laurel, which at that time had an auto mechanics school. The man in charge of teaching the school was William Lyle Roeseler, whom she married in June of 1941. (At that time, married women were not allowed to teach. It wasn't until WWII, when large numbers of teachers left to work in the shipyards, that this policy was finally changed.)

After Madeline and Lyle were married, he became a supervisor in training defense workers for the Department of Public Instruction. They moved to Bozeman with the job, overseeing the welding and riveting used to build ships and planes preparing for World War II.

In 1949 they moved to Helena, where Lyle became the State Supervisor of Trade and Industry Education. On the heel of a fatal hotel burning in Libby, Lyle was instrumental in starting the legislation setting up criteria for training firemen in Montana. Along with Mary Munger (the blue-eyed nurse), Lyle was instrumental in the implementation of legislation for the Licensed Practical Nurse Licensing.

Over coffee one Sunday morning, after reading about Future Farmers and Homemakers of America, Madeline asked Lyle why his students didn't have a similar organization. She suggested the idea of the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA). Soon Lyle was on his way to Washington D.C. composing bylaws for VICA. On the 20th anniversary of VICA, at the State meeting, a ceremony was held, and a plaque presented in Lyle's memory for his pioneering work.

Madeline and Lyle spent 31 happy years together before he died in 1972. Along with their many activities and travels, they enjoyed entertaining guests in their home. (Madeline loved to prepare the meals while Lyle enjoyed serving them.) They traveled extensively throughout the US, Canada, Hawaii and Alaska with Lyle's work. Madeline has also visited the Holy Land and taken a cruise through the Panama Canal. Today Madeline is still active in her church and bridge circles. (written by L.Q. Schwaubauer)

Verlie and wife Tena live on the John Mashino family homestead in Lavina Montana.

Verlie was a sheep herder.

From Shirley Mashino Hanke:

My uncle Verlie passed away this evening. He suffered a stroke about a week ago and was in the Roundup Hospital. One side was paralyzed but he was beginning to form a few words. He was to go to Billings tomorrow for tests on his stomach and lungs.

John was able to be with him and his mom, Tena for a few days. He was and is going to be tremendous help for them.

I called Verlie on his 90th birthday and he could hear me and I could understand him, and we laughed and gave each other a bad time for 20 minutes at least. After a couple of minutes I asked him who he was talking to, and he said, "Why, Shirley!" It was a special time for the both of us.

From grandson Michael Maginot:

This is my paternal grand-father. He lived in Indiana his entire life except for a few years in Texas in the early-mid 1940's. He had been

rejected for the draft during World War One due to a heart murmur. He married Irene Gehring (b. January 1, 1901; died November 1992) in 1929 and they had two sons. He operated his own business installing furnaces and storm gutters in/on homes.

Harry and Irene's second son, Thomas Richard Maginot (b. October 20, 1934) is my father. He married Nadaline Mary Wagman ( b. December 24, 1934) in June 1958 and had four children. My parents reside in Dyer, Indiana and are semi-retired.
