Volume 1, 1964, by Annin, James T.
Thomas Oral Blankenship – A Missourian who was privileged to serve with a Stillwater
contingent which joined up with Uncle Sam’s Army in
1917 was Thomas Oral
Blankenship. Tommy was born in Edgerton on Jun 7, 1895, and came to Montana when he
was old enough to file on a farm in 1916, selecting a fine tract of land in the
Stillwater area. He served with the 348 Machine Gun Company
of the 91st Division in the Argonne and Belgian Fronts in the final
days of the fighting in 1918, seeing plenty of action. Returning to the ranch
in 1919, he got tired of his own cooking and on January 27, 1923 was married in
Livingston to the daughter of one of the state’s pioneer families. Miss Ailenne Kemph was born February
26, 1903 at Twin Bridges and was a Youngster when Joe Kemp moved his tribe to
the Stillwater County, north of Absarokee.
Mrs. Blankenship states that: “We lived on the same ranch all our married life of
36 years. Moved three times, but always to a little better house,
and our furniture was carried by hand.
This veteran was Killed in an auto accident near Greycliff,
April 28, 1959. Mrs.
Blankenship lives in
Absarokee, except for such time as spends with her only son, Bernard, in Livingston, Montana.
