This deposit slip of the First
National Bank of Helena [Montana's first bank, started in 1866] was
filled out by Nathaniel
Pitt Langford, brother of Augustine Gallet Langford, who was the
father of George Langford, Sr., on August 10, 1868. The $800
deposited may represent NP's salary as United
States Collector of Internal Revenue for the Territory of Montana,
a post he held off and on between 1864 and 1868. Uncle Tan (as he is known by the Langford
family) is shown below
in about 1907
holding a bag of treats for Sydney Holmes Langford, wife of George
Langford, Sr. The head of her eager son, George, Jr., can barely
be seen in the left foreground.
