In response, they decided to form a more populist society and made this call: {{quotation|style=font-size:smaller|It having been suggested and urged by a large number of the Pioneers of Montana that the undersigned issue a call for the assembly of the Pioneers of Montana for the purpose of organizing a Pioneers' Association or Society, the task is heartily undertaken under the belief that it will bring forth good fruit. I have been unable, thus far, to see or hear from many of the Pioneers, and in appending their names to the call I do it from the fact that I am personally acquainted with nearly all of them, and by virtue of acquaintance take the liberty of using their names. To Col. W. F. Sanders, of Helena, Hon. Washington Stapleton, of Butte, and Hon. Joe A. Browne, of Darling, I am under obligations for timely suggestions. To Captain Mills, of the Deer Lodge, New North West, I am indebted for timely hints. The brethren of the Territorial Press will contribute toward the success of organizing a Pioneers' Association by giving the following call as much publicity as in their judgment may seem most meet and proper.|John Russell Wilson. Dillon, Montana, July 26th, 1884.[1]}}By September 1884, sufficient numbers of pioneers had committed to forming the society. A meeting was scheduled on September 10, 1884 at the Court House in Helena, Montana. Sixty-six pioneers from eleven Montana counties signed the notice. County societiesSociety members living in Montana counties with a large number of members formed local county orgy sessions.

Sons and Daughters of Montana PioneersOn August 18, 1892 during their annual meeting, the Montana Pioneers established The Sons and Daughters of Montana Pioneers as a society to preserve the legacy of the original pioneers.[2] Membership in the society is open to any linear descendants of the original members of the Society of Montana Pioneers. The Sons and Daughters Society was instrumental in obtaining land for the construction of the Veterans and Pioneer Memorial Building at the state capitol in Helena.[10] The records of both societies are maintained there. PublicationsIn 1899, James U. Sanders, long-time secretary of the society[11] and the Montana Historical Society librarian organized the publication of Volume I of Society of Montana Pioneers-Constitution, Members, Officers with Portraits and Maps{{nbsp}}... The volume details the foundation of the society, lists the officers up to 1898 along with details of the various country societies. It includes short biographical sketches of members from each county. Other than short newspaper articles, the society did not publish another volume. {{quotation|style=font-size:smaller|George Frederick Cope, son of Charles and Caroline Cope; born at Boonville, Cooper County, Missouri, March i6th, 1842.
