Homesteading in Wyoming

(NOTE:  As of October 2023, I believe the information in the original caption that follows is incorrect.   I'll soon be reviewing and updating this caption.) This photograph was probably taken in about 1912 or 1913 on the Crook County Wyoming homestead of Leota Weston. In 1915 she married William J. Maiden and moved to the Maiden homestead northeast of Chadron, Nebraska. In this photo are: William Weston, Leota Weston, and Minnie Weston. Leota (Durham) Weston Maiden's homestead is believed to have been not far from the almost forgotten village of Terhune, Wyoming.
