Sam Prentiss, Pioneer
Charles C. Prentiss was born in the State of Massachusetts in the year 1834 and died at the home of M. T. Redman in Buffalo, March 22, 1926.
His was undoubtedly an interesting life if all could be told, but he was of that nature that did not seek out notoriety and the little that can be gathered for publication is furnished by M. T. Redman with whom he made his home for 44 years. This is herewith given to our readers as detailed by Mr. Redman.
Mr. Prentiss, better known as "Sam" Prentiss enlisted at the age of 22 years and in the year 1856 in the regular army. This enlistment was made in New York City. He was at once sent to the frontier and finally landed at Fort Riley, Kansas, early in the summer of that year. That same year he with his command left Fort Riley and proceeded into the Wyoming country, traveling over the old Oregon Trail. They crossed the Platte River on the old Jim Bridger ferry which was near the present site of Glenrock. From thence they proceeded to the Green River Country, near the mouth of Black Fork, where Bridger had built a stone block house for the accomodation of emigrants.
They wintered at this place during the winter of 56..57 and lost practically all of their horses for want of feed. The next spring they were ordered to Utah to assist in quieting the trouble existing at that time. In a short time they were ordered to Black Fork where the government purchased the block house of Bridger and where they remained in quarters until 1859. During this time the troops were engaged building a fort at this point.
In 1860 his command was ordered to Arizona and New Mexico to campaign against the Apaches and other Indian tribes who were creating more or less trouble. Mr. Prentiss was discharged from the army at the end of his enlistment period at some point in New Mexico and then went to the gold fields of Colorado where he remained for a year or two, going from thence to southern Wyoming where he worked until the year 1877, his chief occupation being work on the U. P. Railroad. In 1877 he came to what is now Johnson County in company with "Bill" Ballard and was engaged in freighting, one of his jobs being the hauling of hay from Dutch Creek in Sheridan County to old Ft. Reno. He came to the Redman family in the spring of 1882 and remained with them from that time on until his death.

George F. Myers, Buffalo Pioneer, Passes Away at His Home After Short Illness
Came to Johnson County in a Covered Wagon in 1882
George F. Myers
George F. Myers was born in Wurchburg, Bavaria, January 13, 1849, and died at Buffalo, Wyoming, March 14th, 1926.
He received his education in the schools of his native village and also studied music there. When the war broke out between Bavaria and Austria, though but a boy, Mr. Myers enlisted in the Bavarian army and served until peace was declared. He was wounded three times during his service. At the close of the war he decided to come to the United States and, having two brothers in Cincinnati, Ohio, came to that place, arriving late in the fall of 1866. It being just at the close of the Civil War, times in this country were hard and work difficult to secure, but he finally found employment in a bakery shop and learned that trade. However, not being satisfied with prospects in Cincinnati, he enlisted in the Regular Army, and became a member of the Sixth Cavalry, and served two enlistments with that organization. Most of his service was in the west and southwest, and he took part in the Apache campaign and many other Indian engagements. During part of his service he played in the band and was for some time its director. He left the army in 1878 and located in Denver and for a time played with some of the best bands and orchestras in that place. He was married to Mrs. Alice Westman in Denver, September 22, 1879, who died in Buffalo, December 18, 1915.
Mr. Myers came to Buffalo in 1882, and took up a ranch on French Creek where he resided for some time, but later moved to Buffalo and opened the Myers Hotel, which enterprise he has conducted for many years.
Mr. Myers was a musician of exceptional ability, as well as education, and was a member of the first band organized in Buffalo in 1882 and was identified with every band in the city from that time until his death. He was an exemplary citizen and was always ready to help any movement for the upbuilding of Buffalo. He served as treasurer of Johnson County for two terms; was a member of the city council for several years; was Justice of the Peace for years and at the time of his death was city police judge. He was an enthusiastic Odd Fellow, being a member of Buffalo Lodge No. 14 and served as secretary for that organization for over twenty years. He was a member of Anchor Lodge No. 7, A. F. & A. M.; the Rebeccas; Eastern Star and the several higher branchs of the Odd Fellows.
Mr. Myers was married April 28, 1917, to Miss Marie Benegalia, of Buffalo, who survives him.
"Pap" Myers, as he was best known to his friends, was a wonderful character. He had a kindly and generous disposition and was always ready to extend the hand of help to any one in distress. No one was ever turned from his door hungry. As a citizen of his adopted country Mr. Myers was loyal and true, and he was in every way but birth a real American.
We will miss "Pap" and the memories of the many good things he did while a citizen among us will never be forgotten.
Funeral services were held for Mr. Myers at the Methodist Church Wednesday afternoon, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows and the Masonic order with Reverend Anspaugh officiating. At the request of Mr. Myers before his death the Buffalo Band played at the church and at the cemetery. His horn, which he had played in the Buffalo Band for forty years, was draped in crepe and held by one of the members. The services were beautiful and the funeral cortege one of the longest ever held here.

Death of Leona Francis Bugher
Barber Wyo. - Sunday morning at ten thirty o'clock Leona Francis Bugher three and a half years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bugher was drowned in a barrel of water.
The barrel was made of cast iron and was in a wagon in which water was hauled from the creek to the house. The mother had just cleaned the three little girls up and had instructed them not to play in the water and had also emptied the boiler of water in which they had been playing. Leona the oldest, with her heart and mind set on making mud pies crawled up into the wagon to obtain the water and thus this horrible tragedy.
When the next oldest little one stepped to the door Mrs. Bugher asked "Where is Leona?" and she replied "in the barrel." Rushing to it the mother, who was alone with the children, could hear the little girls body bounding against the sides of the barrel, by the time she had gotten into the wagon the body had sunk to the bottom of the barrel. Diving in time she finally succeeded in getting hold of its garments bringing it to the top, however life was not yet extinct and the floundering body again and again broke the hold of the mother.
Finally in its last struggles the child got hold of its mother's wrists enabling her with this grip to pull the body out. The battle for the little ones life began with the mother using every ounce of her strength and the knowledge she possessed to bring her back to life. For five hours she worked, and finally saw her efforts were of no use.
She was then compelled to put the other two children in the house lock the doors and go on foot about a mile for a saddle horse and then ride three miles to the C. C. Bugher place where her husband was helping his father.
Preparing the body as best they could they placed it in the back seat of their car and at dark started the forty mile trip to Buffalo arriving here at midnight.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Bugher's parents, L. L. Woodurm. Reverend Anspaugh of the Methodist chuch conducting the services. The remains were laid to rest in the Willow Grove Cemetery.
Dedicated to Leona Frances Bugher
A little voice is silenced
In a little home down there,
They can hear it no longer
Though they search every where
A little girl is missing
Her presence it is gone,
Unto her home in heaven
Where everything is song.
No longer she hears us calling
No longer the sin of life,
She is with the angels in heaven
Where this is no sin or strife.
Sleep on little daughter,
We would not trouble your rest,
Sleep in peace our little one
Upon our Saviours breast.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
They laid here there to rest,
Away from her tender mother
Upon her Saviours breast.

A Correction
In the last issue of the Bulletin there appeared an account of the death of the late Mrs. Mary Jane Woodard. In the obituary it was stated that Mrs. Milly Graham was the widowed daughter of the deceased. We wish to correct this statement. Mrs. Gertrude Graham, the wife of William Graham of this city, is the survivor. Besides Mr. and Mrs. William Graham, there are six grandchildren and four great grandchildren who survive the deceased.

H. W. Davis Died Wednesday Morn From Paralysis
Henry W. Davis died Wednesday morning, December 25, following a stroke of paralysis which attacked him Saturday. The deceased was 66 years old and until Saturday had enjoyed the best of health. The survivors are Mrs. H. W. Davis, H. W. Davis Jr. and Mark Davis, of Casper and Frank Davis, Mrs. Franch, [hard to make out the remainder of the paragraph, except the last few words] ... Willow Grove Cemetery.
Henry Winter Davis was born June 1, 1857 at Milford, Kent County, Delaware. He came to Wyoming in 1878 and in 188? moved to Johnson County where he resided until his death Wednesday morning. In 1881 he was married to Miss Annie P. Marshall. In the forty-three years which the deceased spent in Johnson County, he became very prominent as a stock grower and citizen.
Mail used to come addressed to "H. Winter Davis" and in 1886 when cattlemen all over the country were suffering great losses with their stock because of the severe winter, the cowboys gave Mr. Davis the appelation of "Hard Winter Davis." This name clung to him and by it he was known to a large number of friends.
All of the three sons and two daughters were at their father's bed side at the time of his death.

Insane War Veteran Burns Self to Death
Sheridan, Wyo. - The charred body of Frank Crompton, 26, a patient at the Fort MacKenzie veterans' hospital here, was found chained to two small cottonwood trees in a coulee a short distance west of this city at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. He had committed suicide by burning his own body, authorities declare. A note in his cap nearby said, "I did this because God wanted me to."
A local hardware dealer said Crompton had bought two dog chains and two padlocks at the store Monday afternoon. The keys of the padlocks were lying on the ground beside the body. The gag in Crompton's mouth evidently had been tied by himself, as the knot had been tied from the front.
Evidently he had chained his arms to the trees, but in his agony had twisted free, as his body was found on the ground. The body was stripped of all clothing except underwear and shoes.
Two cans, one full of gasoline and one empty were found nearby.
Crompton had been a patient at the veterans' hospital for a year and apparently was in a nearly normal frame of mind as he had been given much liberty and was trusted.
Crompton, who came to the hospital at Fort MacKenzie about a year ago from Woodcroft Sanitaraum, Pueblo, Colo., disappeared from the hospital Tuesday morning, attendants say. A search was started.
