  • A History of the Rise of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Wyoming
    A History of the Rise of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Wyoming Sources: “Life of Archibald Gardner”, Delila Gardner Hughes, Alpine Publishing, 2nd Edition, 1970. Anyone with historical information about the rise of the Church is invited to share that information by sending it to this website and it will be added. Thanks. Hal Pierce Star Valley During 1877 Moses Thatcher and Bishop William B. Preston had explored this valley and were impressed by its beauty and potential. There was evidence that Shoshone Indians had previously been there but were not in the area at that time. On 29 August 1878 Elder Brigham Young, Jr. dedicated it as a gathering place for the Saints. In 1880 the city of Afton became the first settling place and the valley was then named Star Valley because it was a star among valleys. The location was then praised in an article in the Logan Utah newspaper during September 1880. Archibald Gardner visited the valley and asked Bishop C. D. Cazier for advice and explained he was looking for land and a good place to set up mill sites. Although he was happily settled in Jordan Utah he needed a place to avoid being arrested as a polygamist. The Church issued a Manifesto against polygamy in 1890 which eliminated the threat of his being arrested. For a time Archibald boarded with Catherine Carpenter in a room that was exposed to the outside elements (garret) and without sufficient bedding. He suffered from exposure to the weather and never fully recovered from it.

  • 2016 Star Valley Economic and Demographic Review
    2016 STAR VALLEY ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC REVIEW 2016 Authors Summary Star Valley has recovered from the sharp market downturn in 2009 when the hard reality of the Great Recession swept though the local economy like a grim reaper. The local economy realized a very slow and marginal recovery until early 2014 when hints of improved economic growth began to emerge. The Star Valley economic recovery continues through today: area population is growing again, unemployment is reaching historic lows at 4.5%, liquidity appears to be increasing, local inflation is tolerable, jobs are available, and real estate prices are increasing. Overall, these indicate a fairly robust and bright local economy. However, there are significant headwinds developing. The clouds are generally macro issues originating outside the Star Valley economy. The State of Wyoming is now feeling the real impacts of the low energy prices and the “war on coal” causing reduced state income and reduced employment as mining activity and rig counts have fallen. The Wyoming state income from mineral activity is directly correlated to local and county governmental jobs and activity given that the state is a primary funding source. Government, which has been a growing sector, is now realizing a reduction as revenues decline. The Federal Reserve continues to communicate a desire to raise interest rates even though European and Asian central banks are now experimenting with negative interest rates. Today, the U.S. economy is showing very marginal growth, with what the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently called the “Weakest Recovery Since ’49.” U.S. gross domestic product grew at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted annual rate of only 1.2% in the second quarter, 2016.

The settlers worked together to build a building for church, school, and other community activities. Names are given for the early church officers and auxiliary leaders in the Valley. Pioneer challenges such as the measles epidemic of 1900 were described. To meet the growing population, the Star Valley Stake Tabernacle was built; it was dedicated in 1909. 4.

  • 2017 Star Valley Economic and Demographic Review
    2017 STAR VALLEY ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC REVIEW 2017 Authors Summary The Star Valley economic picture is optimistic. Star Valley is experiencing growing population, unemployment is reaching toward historic lows at 3.3%, liquidity within the market is expanding, local inflation is low, jobs are available, and real estate prices are increasing. Overall, these factors come together to indicate a robust and promising local economy. However, there are also significant long-term issues developing. These challenges are macro issues largely originating outside the Star Valley economy. The State of Wyoming is feeling the negative impacts of ongoing structural changes in the energy market and has seen reduced, but stabilizing, severance based state income. Many Wyoming communities have been hit harder by the current relatively lower energy prices in comparison to Star Valley. However, Star Valley governments and schools, a large employment sector, are very dependent on general state revenues. The Wyoming state revenue stream, dependent heavily on mineral activity, is directly correlated to local and county governmental jobs. Government, which has been the largest growing sector in recent years, may see a reduction in size as revenues decline. The Federal Reserve has taken actions to raise interest rates, with four 0.25% increases in the · Fed Funds rate beginning December 2015. Further, the Federal Reserve is now providing guidance that it will begin to slowly reduce their $4.5 billion balance sheet, which was expanded by $3.5 billion to deal with the impacts of the Great Recession . Today, the u.S. economy is showing sustained but relatively low marginal growth at 2.1% for pt quarter 2017.

  • 1650 HISTORICAL DATA Afton Ranger District the Wyoming
    This is a transcription of a c.1965 document cataloged in the R4 History Collection as R4-1680-2009-0277. Handwritten notes are indicated by script font. 1650 HISTORICAL DATA Afton Ranger District The Wyoming National Forest, with its Supervising office at Afton, Wyoming, was created from the old Yellowstone Reserve by presidential proclamation on July 1, 1908. Shortly afterward, the Afton Ranger District was established at Afton, Wyoming. On May 14, 1923, executive order #3842 consolidated the old Wyoming National Forest and the Bridger National Forest; the name was changed to “Bridger National Forest”, after a noted trapper and scout of the area, Jim Bridger; and the supervisor’s office was moved to Kemmerer, Wyoming, where it has remained. The area now known as the Bridger West Side was part of the Teton Division of the Yellowstone Reserve. Following is a brief history of the Afton Ranger District: 1. Early Administration District Rangers serving on the district are listed in order of their appointments. The dates each District Ranger served are not available prior to 1925.

  • Life Story of John Astle Written by His Daughter, Sarah Astle Call, 1953
    Life Story of John Astle Written by his daughter, Sarah Astle Call, 1953 John Astle, son of Francis Astle and Felicia Raynor, was born 16 June 1846 at Hucknall, Torkard, Nottinghamshire, England. As a boy in early life, we know but little of what he did; but we do know that he was born of goodly parents and into a family of noble heritage that extends back to early times in England, and connects with a long line of ancestors that were prominent citizens of that land. His family life must have been a happy one, as the parents and children kept close to each other. His father was an expert lace maker and worked in the mills at Nottingham, as did John and his older brothers. In England, at that time, children began work in the factories at an early age. His Mother cared for her husband and children in a very efficient John Astle way, with great love for them all. So John grew up just as other English lads. He was a rather independent person, desirous of doing for himself whatever was possible without aid of others; a tireless worker, never afraid of doing more than his share of the tasks before him. This trait remained with him throughout his life. When he was about four years of age his parents met the missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, otherwise known as the Mormons. They were converted to this faith and baptized in 1850. This was not a popular religion at that time.
