Welcome to my Web site!

Our family moved to the Lost Coulee in 1941 bringing with them a few cows, a horse or two, hopes and dreams.  They raised bum sheep that next year along with there cows and the children milked the cows and sold the cream in town 20 miles away.  They, raising a few chickens, small garden, enough to keep the family, cows to keep them busy, survived their first Montana winter.

          The Fisher's                   

Thomas Harrison Fisher and Rose Hasse Fisher came with there 3 sons from Colville WA.  it was quite a change.   The boys went to school in Hinsdale for some time then transferred to Saco in the later years.    The oldest son was James, Charles, the youngest and my father Thomas Joseph.  Tom married Margaret Arlene Coe  from south of Malta in 1961 on December 16th. 

My mother goes by Arlene,  she grew up with 2 brothers Charles 'Bing' and Jim. Raising this blessed family was Grandmother Marie 'Beebe' Coe and Grandfather Urie Coe.  South of Malta 60 miles to be exact.  They knew what preparing for the winter meant back then, no last minute trips to town when condiments came up short. 

My name is Jolene, the daughter of Thomas Joseph.    I grew up on the Lost Coulee along with several foster children and one that I ended up calling my brother, Lendall.

In 2005 most of the family moved to New Mexico in exchange for a nicer climate!  We have kept the name of the Lost Coulee and call everything we have LC something or another.  In remembrance of our heritage; we will never forget and dearly miss the ranges of Montana along with our home on the Lost Coulee.

Thank you for visiting come again!!!
