SURNAMES FOUND IN THIS BIOGRAPHY: MUIRHEAD; KITTO

Actively engaged in the practice of the profession which she
loves, and in which she is fast winning a reputation for skill
and ability., Olive V. Brasier, M. D., of Butte, is meeting with
well-deserved success in her career. A daughter of Robert T.
Brasier, she was born, May 14, 1886, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She
comes of English ancestry on the paternal side, her grandfather,
Robert Brasier, having been a life long resident of England.

Born at Hastings, England, in 1849, Robert T. Brasier was there
brought up and educated. At the age of twenty years he crossed
the Atlantic, and in search for fortune located in Canada. Coming
from there to Montana in 1887, he lived first in Helena, but for
several years past has been in business in Butte, where he is a
well known contractor. He married Mary Muirhead, who was
born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1851, where her father, William
Muirhead, settled on coming from Scotland, the country of his
birth, to America. Five children blessed their union, namely:
William born in Toronto, Canada, in 1882, is now manager of a
manufacturing concern in Butte; Olive V., the subject of this
brief biographical sketch; Walter, a ranchman, born in Helena,
Montana, in 1888; Charley, attending the Butte high school, was
born in Helena in 1892; and Mary, the oldest child, who married
Harry Kitto, of Denver, Colorado, editor of the Denver Post, has
two children, Olive and Genevieve.

Having completed her early education in the public schools, Olive
V. Braiser entered the medical department of the University of
California, and was there graduated with the class of 1906, by
thorough study earning the degree of M. D. Returning then to
Montana, Dr. Brasier began practice at Elkhorn, remaining there
eight months. Coming to Butte in 1908, she has here acquired a
good practice, her patronage being large, and bearing evidence of
her skill, ability, and popularity as a physician.

The doctor keeps well informed in regard to all the advances made
in the medical science, and is a member of various organizations,
including the Montana State Medical Society, and the American
Medical Association. She also belongs to the Silver Bow Medical
Society.
