He had been ill a number of months and for the past four months had been unable to leave his room. He was well known in Helena, being one of the old-timers of this city. Mr. Silverman was 73 years old. He was born in Kalvaria, Poland where he was brought up. In 1861, together with his two brothers, he left home. They first went to England and then took a sailing vessel from Liverpool to the United States arriving in New York some months later. The brothers did not remain there long, however, but went to Titusville, Pa., soon afterward going to Leavenworth, Kan., from which place, in 1866 they crossed the plains to Montana. They came by way of old Fort Kearney across the Platte river to Julesburg and from there to Virginia City by way of Soda Springs. Mr. Silverman, was highly respected in the community. He was an orthodox Jew and adhered to the old rites and customs as much as possible. At his own request, made a number of times before this death, there will be no flowers at the funeral, the arrangements for which have not yet been made.
