Carolyn and Jack came to Montana and bought an off-the-grid little cabin so they could enjoy the peacefulness of mountain living. They also did a lot of winter living in Arizona or New Mexico. His wife, Carolyn Lee Mason Middleton, passed away in July of 2011. John Edson "Jack" Middleton passed away Friday, Oct. 3, 2014, at the Philipsburg Nursing Home in Philipsburg, Montana.
