David John Wasden, 97, a long-time Cody resident, died Saturday, Dec. 16, 1995. He had spent his last year of life at the New Horizons Care Center in Lovell.
Wasden was born December 6, 1898, in Gunnison, Utah, the son of James Brooks and Tilda Christina, the oldest of seven children. His family moved to the Big Horn Basin in 1904.
Wasden graduated from the Big Horn Academy at Cowley in 1918. He spent two years doing missionary work for the Latter-day Saints Church in the sourthern states. He returned to Wyoming to work at various jobs, including farming.
He married Clara Agnes Muyres of Chaska, Minn. on May 20, 1933, in Powell and began a home in a two-room log cabin on Lower Sage Creek. He and his wife were a part of that community for 36 years. Four children were born of this union. Clara preceded him in death in 1969, and he married Lucille Burgees.
Wasden was well known in the farming community for his vegetables grown for the local market and the wholesale market at Billings. Wasden studied constantly how to improve farm procedures, and his farm was often referred to as "The Experiment Farm." He demonstrated that by controlling insect and plant disease problems, potatoes could be raised successfully. He initiated the idea for scientific research and was responsible for getting the University of Wyoming''s branch experiment station started at Powell in the early 1940's.
Through his efforts, the Mountain States Power Company extended their electric line to serve the Lower Sage Creek community. Four years later he was able to induce the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company to build a telephone line from their office in Cody to Sage Creek. The Wasdens spent considerable effort in getting School District Number 11 consolidated with Cody in 1946.
The family is well remembered for growing flowers. It was not uncommon to pick up to 40 dozen flowers on a Saturday morning as a gift to the various churches in Cody for their Sunday services and for the sick and "shut ins."
Wasden always had an interest in history, and he began researching and writing on the history of the Big Horn Basin. He published a book entitiled "From Beaver to Oil, a Century in the Development of Wyoming's Big Horn Basin" in 1973. He also researched and wrote stories of local historical significance
Wasden was a memeber of the Wyoming State Historical Society and served that organization as president in 1978. He also was a member of the Montana State Historical Society and the Western History Association.
He developed a hobby in lapidary work, specializing in jade and producing much beautiful work. The Wasdens were members of the Fifty-niners Rock Club of Cody.
Wasden was always a farmer at heart and found the greatest pleasure working with growning plants. He strove for excellence in all his activities of whatever nature, throughout life. Perfection was the aim in all undertakings.
Survivors include his sons and daughters-in-law John and Winnifred Wasden of Powell, Tom and Patricia Wasden of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Grant and Julie Wasden of Long Bearch, Calif.; daughter and son-in-law Mary Sue and Milford Eversole of Powell nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; a brother, Brooks; and two sisters, Sofe Johnson and Elna Blood.

Appeared: 2004-05-24
Kenneth Harley Anderson ("Uncle Kenny"), age 87, left us on May 22, 2004, resting peacefully in his home on North Turner Street in Olympia, Washington. Kenny was born on August 25, 1916 in Penrose, Wyoming, growing up on the family farm and living and working in that area until 1932. He moved to Cody, Wyoming at that time, and worked on a number of ranches in the area as a ranch hand and cowboy. He was drafted and inducted into the service of the Wyoming National Guard in 1941, and served in the 9th Corps, 115th Horse Cavalry when war was declared in 1942. That unit was stationed in Oregon, and he was part of the horse patrol of the Oregon Coast during the early states of World War II. In Oregon, he met and married Lois Alma Steinke in August of 1942. In early 1943, the 115th Cavalry was mechanized, and they took the unit to the Washington Coast for patrol duty. At this time they took Kenny's horse away and assigned him a "jeep", an act that Kenny never forgave the United States Army for. He later served in the 124th Cavalry in the Philippines and in the 338th Combat Engineers in Japan. He was honorably discharged on January 20, 1946. He moved to Olympia after being discharged, and worked as a carpenter. He was a member of Local 1148 of the Carpenters Union until his retirement in 1975. He was an active member of the Local Elks, Moose, V.F.W., and American Legion chapters. Kenny also spent the past 50 years hunting, fishing, and traveling throughout the United States and Canada. After retirement, he and Lois enjoyed years of trailering somewhere each year to hunt or fish (many times both). Lois passed away in October of 1993 while on one of these hunting trips to Buffalo, Wyoming. Kenny is survived by two brothers, Wilbur, of Nyssa, Oregon, and Alden, of Powell, Wyoming; as well as by many special nieces and nephews throughout the country. He is also survived by his very special friend and companion for the past 10 years, Mary Lee Walton, of Lacey. He will be missed by all those who had the honor to know him, especially his "adopted" sons, the Franzen Brothers, Richard, Woody, and Jim. He had a wonderful outlook on life and was an inspiration to all who saw him deal with adversity in his personal life and health with a smile and an ability to never have a bad day. He was very appreciative and loving of the care that was given him by others in the past few years, and was always trying to make life easier for those around him, especially his caregiver of the past year and a half, Daniela Owens. Kenny will be buried later this year alongside Lois in the community cemetery in Penrose, Wyoming.

Sept. 4, 1923 - Feb. 18, 2007
Dorcas Lea Waltman Hopkin was born on Sept. 4, 1923 on the Indian resrvation at Hominy, Okla. Dorcas ws the youngest of 10 children born to Carl Wesley Waltman and Lillie Me Balkey. There were 22 years between Dorcas and her oldest sibling, Troy.
At the age of 3, the family moved to Cushing. Two years later, Dorcas, her youngest brother, Wayne, and their parents moved to Oklahoma City. Half way through her eighth year, they returned to the rest of the family in Cushing. When Dorcas was 16, Uncle Wayne, Grandma and Grandpa decided to join Aunt Doris and Aunt Wanda in Wyoming. She attended grade school, junior high and high school in Cushing. Dorcas also attended Powell High School for a short time before she met Fredrick Wilson Hopkin.
Dorcas and Fred were married Sept. 28, 1940 in Billings. Fred baptized Dorcas as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints on June 1, 1941. Their union was later solemnized in the Salt Lake City Temple on Apritl 5, 1944. To this union were born four daughters, Nancy, Janet, Kathi and Debbi and one son, Carl. Fred and Dorcas raised thier family on a dairy farm in Penrose.
The loves of Dorcas' life were her Heavenly Father, her religion, her family, her music, her sewing and her cooking. When she was 12 years old, Dorcas had the opurtunity to sing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. She served in many positions in the LDS church, not limited to but including ward chorister and stake missionary.
Fred and Dorcas left Wyoming and moved to Modesto, Calif., in 1974. While in Modesto, Dorcas took great joy in being the head seamstress at Gotchoc's, an exclusive clothing store. They later moved to Casper, Ryegate, Mont., Lovell, Byron and back to Penrose, then to Gillette, until finally settling in the New Horizons Care Center in Lovell in 1998.
Dorcas was known for her quick wit. She lved those that took care of her at the care center. Her favorite pastime there was kibitzing with the staff, always quick with a comeback. We as a family would like the care center to know how much we appreciate the always-loveing care they afforded our mother. We know that she was very special to them as they were to her.
Dorcas died in the early morning hours of Feb. 18, 2007 at North Big Horn Hospital.
