Images from the publication Hanna Field a Story of a Fledgling Episcopal Priest and his Six Wyoming Missions
by Harv Wilbur, 1995. (Prints available at the Hanna Basin Museum)
"Something of the old Hanna still remains.  For me it was best to expressed in a piece that Mrs. Reece Gaskell of Saratorga wrote at the time the mine closed."
"If there comes a day that Hanna is no more,
 as the people scatter throughout
 the country, each little corner where
 they settle will surely become richer by
 the presence of such people."
"Forty years have passed since then, but if you go back to Hanna and the old Carbon Cemetery over the Memorial Day weekend, you can still meet some of them as they gather for their annual reunion and Memorial Services.  We are still richer because of them."
Harv Wilbur, 1995
