Join in the excitement of the 6th Annual Mammoth Quick Draw as you stroll the Museum watching 30+ artists finish a masterpiece in a one-hour time period. This fun event draws more than 400 attendees. In the event center from 5:30 to 7:45 (while dining upon three types of homemade lasagnas, salad, breadsticks, and desserts), you will be entertained by popular Wyoming singer/guitarist, Jeff Troxel.

The Washakie Museum uses its funds from the auction to: promote artists by hosting at least 3 art shows yearly including an opening reception, support for youth and adult education programs, temporary and traveling exhibitions, and performing arts.

The Worland Rotary Club uses its funds from the auction for philanthropic projects locally and internationally. Some of the local projects that have been funded include: the picnic shelter and BBQ pit at Sanders Park, the sound system at the Washakie Museum, a park bench on the Worland bike path, the fitness trail at Rotary Riverside Park, playground equipment at the Children’s Resource Center, the Washakie County Library Endowment, and a cabin at the H Diamond W 4-H camp. International projects include a Guatemala water project and latrine project, the eradication of polio, and the Rotary International Shelter Box Foundation. Rotary is currently helping to fund heating and cooking stoves for seven villages in Guatemala. Over the past twenty years Worland Rotary has sponsored numerous outbound and inbound students in the Rotary International Youth Exchange program, fostering peace and education in the world one student at a time.

During the evening members may browse the Holiday Art Show and Gift Shop. Free gift wrapping during the evening.

The enhancements include installation of the Sheep Eater bow crafted for the

Museum by Tom Lucas of DuBois, the re-installed atlatl from Dr. George Frison, a

large mural behind the Sheep Eater lodge, and new reader boards with updated and

expanded interpretive materials.


The Washakie Museum gift shop is the place to shop for holiday gifts. Original

family, friends, co-workers, and others. The Museum will be open free to the

public on December 8 and 9 for shopping.

Free gift wrapping, coffee, hot cocoa, and cookies will be available throughout

the two days. The permanent galleries will be open free to the public for viewing

Summer Visitor Votes on the Edna and Tom Jenkins Murder

Don’t miss it! - Exhibit comes down October 29

Ghost Towns & Tales of Our Forgotten Past temporary exhibition

closes on October 29—-the exhibit has been a huge success

with members and visitors alike. One bus company even

scheduled a stop here because they read about the

exhibition on our website. One of the most fascinating “tales”

in the exhibit was the 1911 unsolved murder of Edna

Richards Jenkins (daughter of then Governor William A.

Richards) and her husband, Tom, found dead at their canyon

cabin at Red Bank.

Just for fun (and not very scientific), visitors were asked to

cast their vote as to who they believed was or were the

murderer(s). Suspects were: Edward T. Payton (a

newspaper salesman described as having fits of mental

illness and had accused Governor Richards of fraudulent

land deals); O.K. Fullerton (a known thief working on the Red

Bank Ranch and was thought to be infatuated with Edna);

and Tom O’Day (a member of the infamous Hole-in-the-Wall

gang who had been seen in the area at the time of the

murders). Visitors could also cast a vote for someone not

listed as a suspect.

Here are the results: In last place was Tom O’Day with only

13% thinking he was the murderer. Eighteen percent of

attendees did not believe any of the suspects were

responsible. Edward Payton was the top suspect garnering

28% of the votes with Edna Jenkins obtaining 22%, and O.K.

Fullerton receiving 19%.

Several votes were cast for O’Day and Payton with the

written explanation of suspicion that Governor Richards

himself hired one of them to murder Tom (Some sources

mention that Governor Richards considered Tom a worthless

son-in-law). Edna, unfortunately, was a casualty of his

desire to get rid of Tom. Speculation suggests she

happened to walk in on the murder and the killer did not

want a witness.

It was interesting that several people blamed Edna —

using Fullerton’s attraction to her and confiding her marital

unhappiness—for getting him to kill Tom. Speculation was

that after Fullerton killed Tom, Edna refused his advances,

so he killed Edna and robbed the cabin. Some also felt that

his attraction to Edna was why he put her in a robe with

socks to make her look nicer when she was discovered.

The murder-suicide with Edna killing Tom was popular;

again, mentioning that Fullerton moved Edna’s body and

made her look nice so she would not be disgraced. It was

also speculated that when the mattress Tom was lying on

caught fire from the gunshot, Edna herself threw a bucket

of water on Tom to keep him from burning up.

All thoughts are speculation as the murder remains

unsolved. There is still time to cast your vote before the

final report, as the exhibit will remain through Saturday,

October 28.

An Interview by One of Hattie Burnstad’s Students

(Teacher at Worland Jr. High School 1957-1974)

Date of Interview: September 16, 1963

land in the summer for three years and then moved to one of Bill Pulliam’s farms north of Worland in 1932. Everyone told us we would starve on this alkali farm. We leased the farm for two years, then we purchased it in 1934 from Mr. Pulliam. We worked hard at farming and feeding livestock and have made a living ever since. Two more parcels of land, 40 acres each, of alkali and sagebrush were purchased from the County and added to the north of the farm. These two forties were hard to manage for several years, but with constantly working the soil and using good farming practices, it has improved from very poor yields to commendable income In 1941, Victor married Millie Lehman of Worland, Wyoming. A year later, father and son formed a partnership after purchasing a neighboring 75 acres from the Wallace Estate. Victor still lives on this newly acquired farm. In, 1942, Frieda married Leo Scheuerman of Worland. Leo worked one year for the partnership, and the following year he joined us as a partner. In 1947, another 119 acres were purchased and is known as the Mileski place. Another bad place we were told. We also rented a couple of places nearby. In 1948, I sold out to Victor and Leo and let them take over, being content with just the rent. I have always lived on the original farm and still do. Through all these years, Zion Lutheran Church has been my church home and I have served many different capacities of the church. (Note: this is the Zion Lutheran Church located on 15th St. and Circle Road.) My family and I attended church every Sunday. Above all, my belief in God and in His power, has seen me through the difficult years of the Revolution in Russia and these years in this great country of America. I was in the Russian army in World War I for three years. Then after two months of marriage, I was called into the Revolution. The reason we left Russia was that inflation and starvation were so bad that people starved to death. You saw people lying on the roads starving from hunger. In 1921, the 4th day of September, we left Russia. I was married at that time. Many people left at that time whenever possible. We intended to come to America, but our money was worthless when we tried to cross the border into Poland. We had a few pieces of gold that helped get us across into Poland. We left by train and crossed the border to Poland and Germany. The Germans and Polish would not accept our Russian money. The Red Cross


BEN: I was born in Brunnenthal, Russia in 1896. Anna Marie Steinmetz, my wife, was also born in Brunnenthal, Russian in 1890. Our first son Victor, was born in Brunnenthal, Russia on January 9, 1920. Our daughter, Freida, now Mrs. Leo Scheuerman, was born in Rothflies, Germany on December 7, 1922. A second son, Emil, died in infancy in Germany. Our forefathers had come to Russian from Germany in the 1700s on the invitation of Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. She wanted them to develop and settle some of the vast areas of Russia. The Germans coming into Russia settled along the Volga River, on both sides, in colonies. They became known as the Volga Germans. They were there for about 200 years. Then during the Russian Revolution in 1918 and on, Stalin completely annihilated these colonies, either killing the inhabitants or sending them to Siberia to work out their living in the cold wilderness. We came to the United States in 1925 from Germany having left Russia during the upheaval of the Revolution in 1925. We arrived in Worland, Wyoming on November 18, 1925. It took us 11 days by boat to arrive in New York from Germany. We were detained at Ellis Island for a week due to health reasons and exams. From there it took us five days by train to come to Worland. There were about 1,000 living here at that time. Streets were muddy ruts. My first impression was, “If only I had the money to leave.” But we were too badly in debt to leave. We stayed on and have been here ever since. I think this is a good place to work and prosper. Worland is one of the cleanest and friendliest towns in Wyoming. The first winter I fed lambs for Gus Klein for $65 a month. After seven months, we moved across the river (Big Horn) on one of Alex Healy’s unimproved farms. I worked at any job available—stacking hay; laying tile behind drain ditch digger along with John Bihr. My wife and small children hoed beans. In the fall, we worked beets for Henry Leikam. We had to pay off a $1500.00 debt for our ticket to America. After a lot of hard work and sweat we paid off our debt in 2½ years. I remember what a difficult time I had in working all day and then trying to study a little English at night. John Bihr helped me some with this. Next spring, Mr. Healy let us farm the undeveloped farm we were living on. After one year, Mr. Healy let us move to one of his better farms on South Flat. That farm is now owned by Ted Ondo. We leased the farm and fed livestock in the winter and farmed the

took us over to Germany…the German Red Cross that is. They fed and clothed us in the winter in a concentration camp. We were like prisoners in the concentration camp. They brought us food and fed us and we didn’t complain. They were good to us. We were without a country. We had 5 rubles and they took that. They took the civilian prisoners from Russia to Poland on the order of the Comi-czars and then to Germany. The Polish talked to us in their language, but I couldn’t understand them because I only spoke Russian and German. There was a delegation from the German Consulate and then we had to confess that we wanted to go to Germany. From then on, they took care of us. I speak three languages today. We were in Germany four years. My children speak German and English. From the camp, I moved to a German farm for about a year and that’s where Frieda was born. I worked on a big estate then for Herr von Damm, (a slave driver) for three years before we could legally leave for America. Wages were almost nothing, mostly meager supplies from farm. Inflation was so bad there. My wife’s sister, now Mrs. Joe Weber, worked in homes to help out. She had left Russia with us. INTERVIEWER: How did you come to Worland? BEN: My step-father and step-brother, Jacob and Jake Kindsfather Jr., were living here in Worland and they sent me the ticket. Then I owed it to them to repay it. There were five of us—me, my wife and two small children and my wife’s sister Maria. Maria was later married to Joe Weber from Nebraska. They had known each other in Russia. When I was in Russia, we belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran Church. We lived in a colony of Germans there. There were probably a half a million Germans settled along both sides of the Volga River. During the Revolution, I served in Turkey. On the 17th of March, the Czar was taken prisoner and later killed. INTERVIEWER: How was it when you first worked in Worland? BEN: We worked hard when we got here. Sometimes we got up at 3:00am to milk cows. We cut beans with horses and worked for a Japanese family, the Hayashidas, on the farm that Bob Lass owns. John Bihr and I worked in the drain ditches and laid tile behind the drain ditch digger. I got 40 cents an hour and that was average pay then. The children shocked beans in the fall for the Hayashidas and got half pay. Crops were all weeded by hand. Then in 1928 Joe Weber came from Nebraska. I worked with him, but he didn’t like it here so he went back to Nebraska. During the depression in 1934 he wrote me a letter and said he couldn’t make a living in Nebraska. So, he came back to Worland. I helped him out. I started out with four horses and then bought an old Ford tractor. We raised beets and Great Northern beans and hay and grain. INTERVIEWER: Tell me about your children, traditions, and activities.

BEN: My children went to school here and graduated from high school here. Church and school were the recreation for kids. Victor played some in church ball games. I had too much work to do to let him play on the teams at school. There was leveling, plowing, and lots of work. The farmers got together for the threshing. Whoever had their place threshed, grain or bean, furnished the food. It was always a big occasion. Our weddings were always a big occasion, too. My children had their wedding dinners in the Community Hall. Everyone from the church came and some from the rest of the community. Parents of the bride and groom and friends furnished the big dinner. INTERVIEWER: Tell me more about your family. BEN: I get letters from cousins in Russia now and my wife has a sister over there yet. She had three sisters and a brother. He was exiled to Siberia and later killed by the Communist government. His widow is still there. She lives in a shelter with five children. According to the letters I get now, they are more satisfied because they get enough to eat. It’s now 52 years since we left Russian and they have improved and changed. My father died when I was two years old and my mother remarried to Jacob Kindsfather. Then she had one son, my half-brother Jake Kindsfather. Then she died. Mr. Kindsfather remarried and had more children—Frieda Cole, Lydia Grainger, Emma Klein, all being my step-sisters. Mrs. Kister had one brother and four sisters living—also five others deceased. She was the reason we left Russia. Things were so bad there after the wars and then the upheaval of the Revolution. We tried to go to Germany for a long, long time. Finally, we could go on a train through manipulations. There were about 72 people in the group. Riding it was like being in the black market and it cost us lots of money. We rode in the train box cars for days. Peopled starved and died, many were kicked out of the cars when they had died. This had to be done for health reasons. We went to Minsk, which is close to the Polish border, and I worked there for 5 weeks and we found a way to go as Polish prisoners. A man took all our gold pieces. They would probably have taken it away from us at the border anyway. “Gold is good any place”. We had millions in rubles, but it was worthless due to inflation. End of tape.

The Power of Children: Making a Difference shares the extraordinary stories of Anne Frank, Ruby Bridges, and Ryan White—three children whose lives teach us about overcoming obstacles to make a positive difference in the world. This exhibit encourages children and families to explore issues of isolation, fear, and prejudice throughout 20th-century history and today. The material in this exhibit is serious in nature and recommended for children ages 8+ and their families, and for school groups.

The Museum is also creating a complimentary exhibit about Wyoming children who have made a difference overcoming obstacles in their lives.
