GREEN RIVER The Sweetwater County Historical Museum is researching Green River’s first cemetery, which was established in 1862 not far from the site of the Overland Trail Stage Station on the south bank of the Green River.
Last week a couple from Colorado, Stuart and Sue Stuller, came to the museum with a remarkable old photograph of a grave and headstone marked “Miss C.H. Kerfoot Died Aug 13th 1865 Aged 16 Yrs and 6 mo.” Stuart is a descendant of Cornelia “Neelie” Kerfoot, a frontier emigrant from Missouri who, according to family history, died on the Overland Trail in 1865 and was buried at Green River, Wyoming.

In short, Climb Wyoming aims to help low-income single mothers to discover self-sufficiency through career training and placement. Brittany is proud of her work, and anyone who has worked with her would attest to her passion and dedication.
