Dale William Hubing, 97, of Circle died Jan. 30, 2026, at the McCone County Health Center. He was born in Glendive on March 30, 1928, to Bert and Helene Hubing. He joined brother Robert and sisters Ann and Jean. The family was later joined by another sister, Corky. He grew up on his father’s homestead southeast of Circle. Horses were an important part of his life from an early age. He ranched with his brother, Robert, for many years. He told of owning land at Fallon and the days it would take to trail cattle from the ranch at Circle to the land in Fallon. He attended several country schools near the ranch and graduated from Circle High School in 1946. He participated in rodeos in calf roping in his younger days and was a jockey for many years. He could still tell you what happened in a race and all about the horses on a race program from when he was riding. He dedicated his life to the ranch and raising his family. The ranch was honored with The Heritage Award through the Cowboy Hall and Wall of Fame in 2019 — it had been in operation for 108 years at that time. He was a brand inspector for over 50 years and was honored and very proud of the belt buckle he received for his years of service. He married Phyllis Rudolph on June 23, 1962. They celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary last June. They had five children, Patsy, Cathy, Renee, Jon and Sherri. He spent plenty of time helping with 4-H animals and getting all the horses ready for the many rodeos. He was in

Susan Mae Jackson, Tatanga Ska Wiya (White Buffalo Woman), died Feb. 23, 2026. Born Feb. 13, 1941, in Oswego, she became the fifth of 11 children to parents Wilson and Josephine Jackson. She grew up in Frazer, where she attended school and obtained her GED. She worked numerous jobs, some of which she was fond of more than others. She was masterful at the many hobbies she enjoyed doing and to have a few which included sewing, baking and gardening. She kept the biggest yard within the community, teeming with an array of vibrant flowers and lush grass. She was tough like the ground she grew up on after all. More than anything, she loved spending time amongst family and seeing her grandchildren grow. A good portion of such times were spent on the powwow trail where she could be found front row cheering on her grandbabies as they danced or visiting with the many friends she made along the way. Fierce and tenacious, she was the bedrock of her family, the one who knew where

John Albert “Bub” Howard, 95, of Cow Creek in McCone County died Feb. 25, 2026. He was born May 25, 1930, in Wolf Point to Murvale Eastman Howard and Flossie Fountain Howard. He got his nickname from his father when he was a little boy, when his father referred to him one time affectionately as Buster and Bub quickly quipped back, “My name isn’t Buster, it’s Bubba.” The name stuck and was eventually shortened to Bub. As a child, he attended school first at Hamblin, then Cow Creek, and one of his favorite childhood pastimes was riding pigs. After graduation from Circle High School in 1948, he returned to the family farm to grow wheat and raise cows for more than 70 years. His memory of farming and living on the farm is unprecedented. When asked, he’d talk about how he and his father used a CAT to pull a 30’ toolbar in the 1950s or that they were one of the first people on the scene of the B-52 crash just north of the Howard property in 1964. He was always happy to visit with friends over the phone or a cup of coffee at his kitchen table. He was a farmer through and through; however, he did have other hobbies. He was an avid photographer and a collector of cameras and photography equipment, as well as a gun collector. His life took a romantic turn when he married Julie Elverud July 4, 1993. He continued living at the farm, while Julie lived in Circle, but they always found time to spend together. In the spring of 2018, he moved to town permanently to live with Julie following an illness. He walked 12 blocks almost daily and people around town would often see him carrying his cane above his head, instead of using it to steady himself.

Roy Sheldon Neumiller, 81, of Malta passed away Thursday, Feb. 5, 2026, at 5:20 a.m. after a courageous battle with cancer. Roy was born July 7, 1944, in Wolf Point to Bill and Nora Neumiller. On Oct. 12, 1963, he married Joy Schipman in Bowman, N.D. At the time of his death, they had been married 62 years. In his early teens, he and his older brother taught themselves how to play guitar. In these teen years, they were playing in nightclubs and even on the FayCrush Show on TV. At that time, no one sang, so Roy began to sing and was quite good at it. Later, his son joined the band. Roy played his music right up until May of 2025. His occupation most of his life was some type of oil field work. His first rig job he was too young to even be there. By the time his age was discovered, he was old enough. He worked the derricks and he spent many years on oil rigs and with seismograph companies. He had something to do with the biggest share of all the gas wells in Phillips County. This was by way of being a roughneck, driller, oil management or company hand. He spent many hours with the work over rigs. He retired the day he turned 62 and never looked back. Roy and Joy spent many days fishing at the cabin at Nelson. His love of fishing was passed down to his family, especially his grandkids.
