Kids & Elephants
Posted By thecircusblog on April 25, 2011
Norman and Norma. They are the son and daughter of their parents, Norman and Norma Prather. Photo taken in the early 1950’s on the Siebrand Bros Circus & Carnival. They were showing in Butt, Montana. The elephants belong to Ed Widamen. This little brook that the elephants are drinking from, I use to catch the finest Brook Trout you have ever tasted. The Sieband show played this spot every year on the 4th of July. I spent my time in the early mornings fishing. The last time I fished there was in 1975 while with the Sid Kellner Great London Circus, We were traveling though Butt on are way to Canada. I had to stop at the old lot because of memories and the fishing.
Great comment made by Ryan Easley, A must read.

These elephants would be Zetta (the elder) and Peggy (the younger). Peggy was trained by Mac MacDonald and named after his wife. A third elephant was acquired in 1953.
