MBER 6, 1925 Copy of First Wyoming Tenitorial Census Will Be Presented to D. ‘A. R. Mrs. Cora M. Beech Completes Compilation and Bound Copies Also Are Prepared For State and National Libraries. By IL PENSEROSO, JR. When the next state conference of the Wyoming Daughters of the American Revolution convenes at Sheridan on September 21 this year, there will be presented a report to that organization of the progress in compiling and completing for the first time the official 1870 Wyoming Territory United States census, and with the report will go a bound copy of the census, in itself a human document which cannot fail to excite the deep interest and vivid imagina- tion of the people of the state. Practically all of the work in con- nection with the compilation has been done by Mrs. Cora M. Beach of Casper, who assisted in raising what meagre funds that could be obtained, secured the photostat copies from the archives at Washington, D. C., and personally typed and indexed the nine thousand names of men and women. _It was a herculean task, but the work started last March, has at last been finished. Wyoming gehters of American Revolution, always interested in pre. serving the history and traditions of their commonwealth, is due an everlasting debt of gratitude from the people of Wyoming for having initiated this work and carrying it through to a successful conclusion. There is need for this valuable record within the state and for the compilation of similar census re- turns. The 1880 census, much heavier than the one it completed should be preserved for posterity within the state and every citizen should encourage the D, A. R. to keep on the good work and plan to secure this later census, It is an important project and worthy the - support of the state legislature. At the time the work was under- taken there was every indication that patriotic citizens would sub: she had penned the “Foreword” which was to have accompanied the volume and which is now included in its pages. It is in the following language: “At the state conference of the Wyoming Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution held in Casper Octo- ber 3, 1924, Mrs, Alfred H. Beach, a member of the Newcastle chapter, brought to the attention of the con- ference the fact that the only rec- ords of the first census of Wyoming, which was taken one year after the territory was organized, were kept in a non-fireprooft building in Wash- ington, D. C, This census was taken in 1870, the first government census taken after the Civil war. At that time the white population in Wyo- ming Territory numbered very little more than 9,000. “In a bullding adjoining the one | in which this census was kept, two thirds of the United States census of 1890 was destroyed by fire and for fear the records of our state might share a similar fate it was strongly urged that photostat copies might be made and when indexed, copies typed and suitably bound and placed, one In our state Ubrary, one in the D. A, R. national library, one in the congressional library at Washington, D. C., and one in own state university Mbrary Laramie. The estimated cost for this plece of work was placed at the small sum of $400 peculiarity of this 1870 census consists in the fact that owing to the unsettled conditions in the east and in the south so soon after the TROY, Ohio, Sept. 5.—Oone of the most unusual rms in the world is located in this section.
