4 - FALLON COUNTY TIMES FRIDAY, JULY 1,2016 Nellie MacKay Rost celebrates 90th By Sherry Vogel Nellie MacKay Rost of rural Mannarth celebrated her 90th birthday surrounded by many of her II grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren, and 7 great -great-grandchildren May 7, 2016 at the exhibit hall in Baker. Nellie Elizabeth MacKay was born May 3, 1926 on the MacKay ranch west of Willard. Her mother, Marie Honstain MacKay, was at- tended by an area midwife, Mrs. Sparks. Nellie spent the first five years of her child- hood playing along the Lame Jones River with her brother Al. When she became school age, she and Al would ride horseback in the nice weather, traveling two miles, to attend Gregerson Country School. She remembers that in the winter her father, William \Billy\ MacKay, would heat rocks in the oven, then place them under tanned hides which covered her and her siblings to keep them warm as he delivered them to school. By third grade, the MacKay kids attended school in Baker They boarded at the Fallon House until one incident when her sister. Ella, brought home bed bugs. After that her dad purchased a house in town. Nellie and her sister Anna Mae spent their high school summers herding sheep.They slept in a covered wagon. Nellie received a new bicycle as summer wages the summer of her junior year. Then the next summer, after her graduation in 1944, she earned a trip to California to visit her Aunt Ella and Grandma Honstain. She en- joyed the long train ride and passed time playing cards with soldiers. Many years later, one soldier would pass through Baker, and recog- nized Nellie. She didn't rec- ognize him until he mentioned he'd cheated at cards when the train passed through a dark tunnel. When attending a rodeo in Medora, ND, Nellie was at- tracted to the laughter of a young bronc buster by the name of Murril \Tubby\ Rost. \Must have been some laugh,\ as the young couple got married Aug. 17, 1946. The Rosts worked various jobs throughout the years and lived in a number of commu- nities throughout Montana. After working on a dairy farm in Bozeman in 1951. they moved back to Baker. The fall of 1952, Nellie was stricken with polio. Nellie said, \My doctors told me I w mild probably never walk Extension Summer Fun Series The Fallon/Carter County Extension Office will be of- fering several workshops this summer.
