Anaconda Standard - April 2, 1907
Virginia City, April 1. - Lucien Romey, a pioneer of Montana, died Sunday at 
the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Malley, at Blaine, after a week's illness, 
due to old age. The body was taken to Ennis, where is will be buried by the 
side of Mrs. Romey, who died in 1872. Mr. Romey was born in Switzerland, July 
29, 1823, and came to American in 1858, locating in St. Joseph, Mo. He came to 
Alder gulch in 1863 and soon after established Romey's gardens, the frist truck 
garden in this part of the state. He worked it and supplied this part of the 
state with vegetables up to 1877, and then operated a passenger and express 
line between Virginia City and Puller Springs. After that he took up some 
placer ground on Springs creek and devoted himself to placer mining for seven 
years. Later he took up a ranch near Ennis and lived there until several years 
ago, when he sold out and visited his old home in Missouri. Returning to 
Montana he made his home with his children, of whom he has seven who survive 
him.
