The following is a portion of an article on Neil B. Flatt from Montana, It's Story and Biography, Volume 3, History of Montana (1921):
"Mr. Flatt was born in County Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, July 12, 1856. His father, James Flatt, was born and married in England, his wife being Mary Fenn. About 1836, the family came to America and settled in Ontario. Their home was so far from civilization that when coffee or sugar or other groceries were required James Flatt had to follow a blazed trail for twenty-five miles to the nearest market. He carried his wheat for flour sixteen miles on his back, a bushel at a time, and after having it ground returned home the same way. He made sugar from the maple trees, cut "bee trees" for his honey, and in other ways lived the real life of the pioneer. The capital city of Toronto was then called Little York and was a mere village. James Flatt died at the age of seventy-four as the result of being thrown from a load of hay. His widow survived him at the old Canadian home to the advanced age of ninety-one. Of their eleven children eight survive."
