" An illustrated history of the state of Montana, containing ... biographical mention ... of its pioneers and prominent citizens," Joaquin Miller (Chicago: The Lewis Pub. Co., 1894)[available on-line at ww.ebooksread.com in 2012) offers:
William Franklin Piper, one of the successful mining men of Pioneer, Montana, was born in Ohio, September 4, 1839.
Mr. Piper is of German origin. His people, however, have long been residents of America, his great-grand-father Piper having served in the Continental army during the war for independence. Grandfather John Piper was born in 1786, served through the war of 1812, and lived to be over ninety-seven, his exact age at time of death being ninety-seven years, three months and twelve days. He reared a family of ten children, his second child, John, being the father of our subject. This John Piper was born in Juniata county, Pennsylvania, in 1818, and his first wife, whose maiden name was Catharine Resler, was born in 1819. She died, leaving six children, of whom William Franklin is the eldest. The father died in 1892, at the age of seventy-four years. He had two other wives. The second wife had one child, and the third had six children.
William F. Piper was reared near Wooster, in Wayne county, Ohio. When he was eleven years old he began to earn his own living by working for his board and
clothes. He worked in this way and attended the district school in winter up to the time the civil war broke out. Then, young as he was, his patriotic nature was fired with enthusiasm and he went forth to defend the same flag under which his grandsires had served. The date of his enlistment was September 7, 1861, and as a member of Company C, Sixteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, he went to the front. At the battle of Cumberlan Gap he was taken prisoner. Four months later he was exchanged and joined his regiment, and was under General Grant at the capture of Vicksburg. He was in the following battles: Thompson Hill, Raymond, Champion Hill and Big Black, for fifteen days being constantly under fire. He was then with the forces that were sent to watch General Johnston on the Big Black. After the capture of Vicksburg he was one of the party that followed Johnston to Jackson and retook the place and destroyed it. He was also in the Banks campaign on Red river, after which he was in camp on the Mississippi river. His term of service covered a period of three years and two months. He. was then honorably discharged. The bursting of a shell near his head, while engaged in the assault upon Vicksburg, affected his hearing, but this was the only injury he sustained.
After his return from the army, Mr. Piper was for one year engaged in work at the cooper's trade in Ohio. In 1867 he started for Montana, making the journey by rail to St. Louis, and from tliere coming up the Missouri river to Fort Benton. This trip up the river was made on the steamer St. Johns, the time required being sixty-one days. From Fort Benton he came across tlie country to Helena, arriving there fourteen days later. He remained at Helena five months, and during tliat time helped to put up tlie White Latch quartz mill, and also the Blue Cloud. He then crossed the divide of the Rocky mountains and went to Phillipsburg. That was in November. In June of the following year he first landed at Pioneer. The winter of 1869 and summer of 1870 he spent at Cedar Creek, and in the fall of 1870 he settled permanently at Pioneer. Here for nearly a quarter of a century he has been engaged in placer-mining. His first move was to purchase a piece of mining land. On it he sank all his
money, and soon found himself .f2,000 in debt. After that he was in the employ of the old Pioneer Company for ten years, paying up all his indeljtedness and accumulating some money. Then in 1884 he and four others bought out the old company, water rights and all, and they have since mined the property successfully.
March 29, 1867, Mr. Piper married Miss Mary E. Horn, a native of Ohio, and they have four children, all natives of Montana, namely: Bessie Agnes, Lydia Pearl, David
Guye and Blanche May. He owns one of the pleasant homes of Pioneer. Mr. Piper's political associations are with the Republican party.
