Besides cowboys and farm hands, others were hired to do chores associated with the home. Chore boys delivered milk, ice, coal and wood to the main house. The cook prepared meals, and as Augusta Kohrs aged, took on housekeeping duties. The Kohrs employed a governess for their children. Near the end of her life, Augusta employed a chauffeur.

Most early Montana ranchers had to be self-sufficient. The closest town might be a day's drive or more away. Grant-Kohrs Ranch was different. The town of Deer Lodge was within walking distance. Nearby towns of Anaconda, Butte, and Helena had most things the ranch needed. This included workers for hire, food, school, churches, banks, and building supplies. The town provided ample opportunities for socializing. Special events like county fairs, rodeos, and horse racing provided entertainment and pulled communities together.
