Looking for relatives & descendants of Joseph PAWSON and his
wife, Katherine "Kate" HILER and their family. They were living
in Cheyenne City, WY and were married March 11, 1903. Kate used the name Mrs. Ellen BELCHER
when she married, indicating a prior marriage. I would like to know more about this first
marriage. Were there any children from it? Kate later married a Willaim THOMPSON
and had several children by him.

I am researching the names of FULLERTON, KIRKBRIDE, HARDING, KELLER, DAVIS,
and CLEVENGER. My family line came from Cheyenne and Indianhill,
Wyoming. It starts with Lenox FULLERTON and Nancy Jane (GROOM).
They homesteaded in Cheyenne and later their land was bought by Kenneth KIRKBRIDE
(grandson) and is or was owned by the HARDING KIRKBRIDE Livestock Co. Lenox's
daughter, Sarah Jane married Otto HARDING and had three children, Afra
"Peggy", Elvy, and Luther "BUCK". Afra married Dan KIRKBRIDE
and had one son named Kenneth. The Hardings and the Kirkbrides went on to form the
HARDING KIRKBRIDE livestock company. Lenox's daughter, Alice May married Roy CLEVENGER
and I believe they did have some children, such as Marion (male). Lenox's daughter
Maude Pearl married Sam DAVIS. Maude was the postmaster for the
INDIANHILL rural post office until 1943 when it closed and I think she died that year as
well. Mary Catheraine "Kate" I belive married Branch KELLER,
a SCHOENING, and later married Sanuel DOWNS in
California. I am not sure if it was her that married into the KELLER
famiy but the children's names seem to match up. They are Zan KELLER,
Sue KELLER, Audra KELLER, and I think a few more.
I have heard from a letter written by Afra KIRKBRIDE, that in 1978 Branch KELLER
was still living and moved to his son Oscar's ? in Colorado. He would have been in
his late 80's at the time. Other children of the FULLERTON's were,
Cora Ellen MCKIM, William Henry "Henry", Harrison Edgar, Minnie
Omie "Omie", Francis Marion (Died young), Martha Ann (died young) and possibly
Grace. I would love to hook up, compare notes, and share my information.

Trying to find Clarice Hunter, last known to be living in Cheyenne.
Probably still living, but last name was probably changed in marriage. She would be a
descendent of my Eiklor surname line. My mother is searching for
this cousin who she's lost touch with, because she believes Clarice has some information
that would prove DAR lineage application for the Eiklor line. Mom
said to say that she is the sister of Ethel O'Neill, and Clarice would
remember her. Anyone still living in Cheyenne, do you know where I can find Clarice Hunter?

About the turn of the century there was an incident in which young Willie NICKELL,
son of Kels Patrick NICKELL, was shot from ambush and killed. Tom HORN
was blamed for the incident and subsequently hanged for the offense. (Steve McQueen
played the part of Tom Horn in the movie by the same name in the 50's or
60's.). I have a zerox copy of an article on the incident that was published in the In
Wyoming magazine of Oct/Nov 1977. The photos are of typical 1977 quality and I would like
to find some better ones for my NICKELL web page. Any ideas as to how to
obtain some better photos? The magazine is no longer in print. Thanks, Don Nickell

I am interested in getting a copy of an obituary for Mrs. Charles Beno.
The family information I have states that she died in childbirth in 1869, and the child
was buried with her in Cheyenne. The grave was never located and the cemetery was
supposedly converted to a residential area. She was born Augusta Struch
and was married to a Foltz prior to her marriage to Charles Beno
around 1856. Charles Beno was on the Board of Trustees of the City of
Cheyenne about 12/10/1869. He ran Beno's Brewery and Saloon on 15th Street. I have
his obituary from his death on June 15, 1875 and copies of his probate records from the WY
state archives. He is buried in Lakeview Cemetery. Please refer me to someone
else if you are not able to help me track down Augusta's obituary. I appreciate any
help you can provide. Thank You, Carolyn Beno (great-granddaughter of
Augusta and Charles)
