Marjorie Rebecca (Hartt) Higley

My Aunt Marge is someone I didn't get to know very well until I was an adult.  I always admired that she was a involved in the newspaper industry - wrote for the Lander, Wyoming paper.  I remember her telling me  "Wyoming wants to be like all the other states and at the same time all the other states want to be like Wyoming."  She married Chuck Higley, who was involved with the management of John Kelly Hartt's sheep businesses.  By the 50th year on incorporation of the Pioneer Sheep Company (1947), my Uncle Chuck was the ranch manager.
