> "Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business

>
> Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a
> government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the
> railroad.
>
> In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned
> Pinkerton Detective Agency.
>
> In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his
> honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
