Hysham Echo Newspaper

The Hysham Echo Newspaper has been published since Nov. 28, 1911 for Treasure County, Montana.

The Echo has undergone many changes over the years and I was honored to be the editor at the time it turned 100.

Each week I will publish the recipes and Page from the Past and the obits as soon as I receive them.

June Watson


June 14, 1939 - June 7, 2012


June Watson passed away June 7, 2012 at Rosebud Community Hospital with her family at her side.

June was born in Pompeys Pillar, MT on June 14, 1939. She moved to Forsyth with her family in 1948. She lived on beet farms while growing up and attended school at Forsyth. June was married to Edward Watson on September 2, 1956. They were constant companions and soul mates for 56 years.

June’s greatest love in her life was her family. She loved to cook and you could find her family gathered together every week-end and holiday. She worked at Rosebud Community Hospital in housekeeping for eight years.

She was an avid gardener, raising huge gardens and sharing the bounty with family and friends. The entire summer was spent filling her canning shelves with winter food. She loved roses and had a beautiful rose garden. June also loved to quilt and do puzzles with Eddie. Several of her puzzles are framed. June also had two cats that she loved. Everyone called them Fat Cat.

She was preceded in death by her parents Art and Minnie Martens, and brothers Charles Martens, Duane Martens and John VanderPas.

June is survived by her husband; her sons, Richard and Dale Watson of Forsyth, Ivan (Shannon) Watson of Colstrip; her daughter Darla Anderson of Forsyth; 8 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren; her brothers, Albert (Rita) Martens of Forsyth, Eugene (JoLee) Martens of Tipton, Missouri; her sisters, Ann (Mike) Schenk of Roundup and Marge (Glen) Simenson of Forsyth and many nieces and nephews.
